 | “To my mind, the speed of implementation of this project made it worthy of an award* on its own. Add to that the increase in productivity and financial gain we have experienced, plus creative use of communications technology by 8el, and the justification is compelling.

The implementation team were proficient, effective and professional in their approach.” |

 | “"In 2004 8el provided us with a flexible, voice, data and Internet solution that allowed us to build in a disaster recovery strategy that fitted with our organisation. Other suppliers were unable to provide us with the network functionality that we needed whilst 8el offered us a resilient communications solution with superior functionality. The excellent support, technical knowledge and account management that we received meant that in 2007 we decided that 8el were the right partner to roll out the network to the entire Fresca group" |
| Warwick Botwright, Systems Manager, Fresca Group Ltd |
