Four companies awarded ITSPA Quality Mark

Four further ITSPA member companies have been awarded the new ITSPA Quality Mark. The new version of the Quality Mark was launched in 2016 and was originally awarded to five companies, bringing the total number of Quality Mark holders to nine. The Quality Mark is awarded to companies that go above and beyond current best practice to ensure a trusted and reliable service.

The four new Quality Mark holders are:

  • Fido Telecom
  • Orbtalk
