Success at the Comms Business Awards

Last month Start Communications won Best Hardware Solution at the Comms Business Awards 2026.

Our entry focused on providing new managed switches, firewalls and access points for a respected hotel group. This helped to improve security across staff and guest networks, increase performance and speeds, and reduce costs. What made our entry unique was the integration into a third-party gateway that has not been done before in the industry.

The judges commented:

“Start Communications impressed our judging panel with a hardware solution that delivered measurable customer impact — from improved security and resilience to enhanced performance, operational savings and commercial value.

The judges highlighted the team’s ability to solve a complex customer challenge, supported by strong client endorsement and clear evidence of ROI.

A brilliant achievement — congratulations to the entire team.”
