Voipfone is a fast growing, profitable and successful company which, since 2012, has won virtually every award open to a telephone company - including one that has never been given before to any telephone company - the Institute of Customer Services, Customer Focus Award.

This is in recognition not only of Voipfone’s outstanding services, but more importantly how they put the customer at the very centre of everything they do and, perhaps because of this, they are named the number 1 VoIP provider in the UK by the independent Review Centre.

Voipfone develop all their services in-house, writing their own software too; they invest 12% of gross revenue in original Research and Development which means they create new and customised services which surpass their competitors.

Today, Voipfone is still growing very fast both in people, revenue and profit and is one of the most successful company in the industry. They are therefore fully deserving of the most prestigious award for UK business – the Queens Award for Enterprise; Innovation.

Damian Green, Minister of State, Home Office & Ministry of Justice said "Many congratulations to Voipfone on this tremendous award. It is always good to see local companies at the forefront of technology, taking on all-comers and matching them. I am sure the company will go from strength to strength and make the most of the opportunities available."

About Voipfone

Voipfone is an Internet telephone service provided by iNet Telecoms Ltd, which was founded in 2004 by Internet entrepreneur Lee Rose from Woodchurch Kent.

The company is now jointly owned by Lee and his business partner and current CEO Colin Duffy from Brighton East Sussex and was formed to develop the latest voice over Internet technologies.

• As a winner of The Queen’s Award for Enterprise the directors are invited to a special reception at Buckingham Palace.
