Nelson's Monument in Great Yarmouth was built in 1819 - 24 years before Nelson's Column in London.
Onestream, the business to business division of Great Yarmouth-based Digital Phone Company (DPC) owned by 1st East director Phil Rider, triumphed at the prestigious Mobile News Awards ceremony earlier this year at London’s Hilton Hotel on Park Lane, scooping the hotly contested Dealer of the Year award.
Presented by comedian Michael McIntyre, the award is vindication of the decision 18 months ago, to separate the Onestream brand from DPC, offering as it does, the complete converged solution to East Anglian businesses.
The judges said: “A professional business that has developed a new brand to deliver an expanding product range. This was an incredibly strong category which Onestream won against a very high standard of entries.
Now in its 16th year the Mobile News Awards are recognised as the industry’s “Oscars”, and is the second time a DPC Company has won, after it was voted Small Retailer of the Year in 2004.
Commenting on the award, Phil Rider said: “This is an immensely satisfying win in a national competition against the best the industry has to offer. It is recognition of the fantastic job our whole team does in delivering the highest standards of professionalism on both voice and data. I would also like to thank all of our many customers for their very powerful testimonials as we continue to grow our business in this region.”
