COMMSWORLD, the independent network provider, has reported a raft of contracts that has led to one of the best quarters in its 27-year history.
The Edinburgh-headquartered company secured deals valued at more than £16.7 million across multiple sectors, significantly beating its targets between October and December last year.
It included a £5.8m digital contract with Glasgow City Council that it said is central to its ambitions to become a world-class Smart City, as well as an extension worth more than £7m to its current contract with City of Edinburgh Council as part of its continuing digital enablement programme.

Charles Quinn, chief commercial officer, said: “It shows that now more than ever good businesses need high performance, robust and resilient connectivity so they can emerge from Covid-19 in a strong position. It also shows that more and more customers are gaining significant benefits from the new UK-wide network that Commsworld has built.”
Also included are new contracts involving venture capital firm Par Equity LLP and fish processing company Pelagia, plus new business with oil and gas giant Shell, legal firm Burness Paull LLP, dental supply company Wright Cottrell, global IT and business consulting services firm CGI, Arnold Clark, and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
