Passcomm is now Hybrid Connectivity
A full circle story
Passcomm was founded in Warrington in 1999 by Chris Fay and Bernard McCabe. Over 25 years it built a reputation as a trusted advisor to the rail industry, known for high-quality, value-add integration and hundreds of PADS-approved products.
In 2022, the business was sold to what would become Netceed. When Netceed stepped away from the value-add markets Passcomm had long served in 2024, Phil McCabe, son of the late Bernard McCabe and managing director of Hybrid Solutions Group, saw the chance to keep his father’s legacy alive.
In January 2025, Hybrid Connectivity Solutions was launched. Former Passcomm directors Stuart Read and David Waine returned as major shareholders alongside Phil, and key members of the original team came back to continue the work they know best.
The name above the door has changed, but customers are still buying Passcomm products from Passcomm people.
