its leadership group and its investment in new business products as
well as interprovincial data storage redundancy.

accelerating sales growth, in both its business and residential

completed, the company is in a secure financial position for
strategic acquisitions, partnerships and growth.
Uniserve's CEO, Nicholas Jeffery: "The company is now in a great place for substantial
growth, particularly with the recent launch of our 'Transit' small
business bundles, as well as new residential internet
pricing."
