Paul Sisson

Derbyshire-based A1 Comms Group is targeting £130m in turnover this year as it celebrates its 20th anniversary.

The company has grown from a single shop in Alfreton to become one of the UK’s foremost mobile phone and communication solution providers.

It now has a nationwide online business and 60 high street stores and is forecast to turn over £130m this financial year – a £47m increase (or 56%) on 2016-17.

The upsurge in turnover has been complemented by another industry accolade with the company this week being chosen by mobile network giant EE as its best dealer for the second consecutive year.

The award, handed out at EE’s Indirect Retail Partner Awards, celebrates the partner which had provided best customer satisfaction and sales performance among other achievements.

Chief executive Paul Sisson said: “We are very proud to have been chosen as EE’s best dealer for the second year running. “It is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our staff in delivering and maintaining the highest standards of service to our customers.”

A1 Comms Group operates several high-end national brands, covering both the B2B and consumer retail market. Under its umbrella are buymobiles.net, affordablemobiles.co.uk, Mobile Shop, phones.co.uk and Go Mobile.
