The mark was awarded by the Internet Telephony Service Providers Association (ITSPA) and recognises Gradwell’s compliance with the organisation’s strict code of conduct, its adherence to the highest service standards and its ability to go the extra mile for its customers. The company is one of only eight to have received the accolade to date.
Gradwell provides communications solutions to small businesses throughout the UK, including VoIP, broadband, web hosting and email management. The company has enjoyed considerable success since it was founded in 1998, achieving year-on-year growth of more than 50% and increasing its customer base to more than 10,000. It was also named one of the UK’s fastest growing technology businesses by accountancy firm Deloitte in its 2009 Technology Fast 50 awards programme.
Commenting on the achievement, Gradwell’s Managing Director Peter Gradwell said: “We’re absolutely delighted to have achieved ITSPA’s quality mark and to see our commitment to excellence recognised in this way.

As one of the largest providers of VoIP to UK small businesses, its continued adoption of improved service standards demonstrates that Internet telephony continues to have a real impact on improving UK businesses – saving them money and making them more productive.”
