PLC Company of the Year 2008
- Telecom plus PLC
At the Annual PLC Awards Dinner, held at the
Grosvenor House Hotel, London on the 12th March 2009 Telecom plus Plc was
recognised as the PLC Company of the Year 2008.
"The winner of this
award will be a company that has clearly demonstrated that success is not just
a short term phenomenon. The winning company will undoubtedly be successful in
share price terms, but with full realisation that share price is but one method
of measurement. It will be professionally managed, of course; its long term
strategy will be intact, and its growth and development to date will have been
soundly financed as befits a conservatively run growth business."
