Company News - December 2020
I hope all of you are staying safe and well.
Christmas is nearly upon us after what has been the most extreme and challenging year for many people and businesses.
I'd like to start by saying a huge thank you to everyone in the TTNC team; they are the best people I've ever worked with, and I’m eternally grateful for their dedication, loyalty and hard work. In what are difficult and trying times, everyone in the team has done an outstanding job, whether it be keeping things running, building new services or continuing to provide the high level of customer service and support that we are known for. Well done and thank you team!

Awards and Accolades in 2020
September saw us pick up an award for the third year running at the Internet Telephony Service Providers Association (ITSPA) Awards. This year we were very proud to be crowned the UK's Best Service Provider (Small Enterprise).
Earlier in the year, we obtained our ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certification, showing our commitment to data security and quality management systems.
Growth in 2020
As a business, we celebrated our birthday in November! We're proud to have been trading healthily for the last 16 years.
Despite everything that's happened this year, our customer base has continued to grow, with new customers signing up in record numbers. We are also delighted to see many of our existing customers enhancing their numbers with more and more services.
Community and Social Responsibility in 2020
At the start of lockdown, back in March, we pledged to help those who are helping their community to cope in the Covid-19 crisis. We have provided numerous groups across the UK with free services and hundreds of thousands of minutes.
We are sticking by that commitment, and we vow to continue to offer our services for as long as it's needed so if you know someone we can help, please send them our way.
