"Nova Broadband was established 10 years ago as an alternative service provider. Back then, broadband availability was poor - even some areas of the city couldn't get any broadband at all. Now, 10 years on, we are thriving and solving broadband problems for residential users right up to multinationals and are continuously growing at a rate we could not have predicted. Our success is mainly down to ongoing referrals from customers and fellow businesses, a lot of which come from those in Little Island, so it’s an honour for us to invite the LIBA community here and celebrate with them through our first of many events. I am very proud of what we have built up so far and look forward to the next 10 years."
