New Contract Win

Toople PLC (LSE: TOOP), a provider of bespoke telecom services to UK SMEs, is delighted to announce that it has started 2022 with a new contract win, following robust order intake during the last quarter of 2021.

The Company has continued to grow its customer base, across a number of sectors, with its latest win in the animal food supply and services sector.  The contract, which has been won by Toople's subsidiary company DMSL via their key network partners, is to supply 46 hosted voice seats to the UK's leading horse feed supplier for a minimum contract period of 3 years.

Andy Hollingworth, CEO explains:

"Like many businesses this new client relies on its online and teleservices infrastructure to provide crucial out-bound marketing and sales services, as well as customer support.  It is a real vote of confidence in our offering that this highly respected UK business, a market leader in its field, has chosen to partner with Toople to provide this business critical support."

He added:

"2022 has once again started under the spectre of further business disruption due to the Omicron variant.  We keep our customers seamlessly connected with their employees, customers, and other stakeholders, ensuring business continuity, and providing peace of mind and strong infrastructure.  This allows our customers to manage their businesses remotely and seamlessly whatever working restrictions are imposed on them at short notice.

"We are delighted to have won this contract and we start 2022 in a positive frame of mind having recently strengthened our balance sheet with a successful Placing, which received the supported of many of the Company's existing shareholders including its two largest shareholders as well as key members of the Board."
