Now has been recognised as the country’s Best Business Broadband Provider for the second year running at the NZ Compare Awards.
The awards, announced on Tuesday 10th December, recognise the service, support and value of a range of providers across the local internet and telecommunications sector, judged by an independent panel along with scores provided by the New Zealand public.
In winning the award, the judges commented that they were impressed with Now’s “exceptional customer service, innovative solutions tailored to business needs and a commitment to the delivery of reliable, high-performance connectivity”.
Now’s Chief Executive Officer Hamish White says the award caps another great year for the Now team and reflects its increasing focus on serving the needs of New Zealand’s SME sector.
“As our offering has evolved to include business communication needs as well as our existing residential offering, we have brought our familiar focus on service and an understanding of the needs of the New Zealand’s SME sector,” says White.
“We’re honoured to be by the sides of Kiwi business owners and decision makers as they embark on pivotal moments in their journey, whether that’s starting a brand-new business, moving premises, or planning for growth.”
Offering a range of dedicated business solutions including broadband, phone lines, cloud-hosted PBX and mobile plans, Now provides services that are ‘right-sized’ for a wide range of local businesses.
Now has also focused on developing an expert business support team across the organisation, while streamlining its online experience, with the launch of a new business-focused website and online buying platform this year.
“Our belief is that only good things come from investing in New Zealand businesses,” says White. “As a local SME ourselves, we are in a privileged position to work alongside them.”
“The past 12 months has been about doubling down on our commitment to the sector. We’ve upgraded infrastructure, refined our products, and most importantly we have invested significantly in building a team that is knowledgeable, capable, and excited to serve Kiwi businesses even better than before.”
“We’re proud to see our successes and reputation for approachable friendly service in the residential market, translate and extend into becoming trusted advisors and partners for the SME business community, which has been recognised in these awards.”
