Australian listed Internet phone company, Freshtel Holdings, has been recognised at the recent UK Trade and Investment International Business Awards for its success in establishing a presence in Britain.

The company won the "New Investor Award" in recognition for the company's entrance into the UK market.

Freshtel has a major white label broadband telephony agreement with Tesco, the UK's leading retailer to provide residential VoIP services and is also building its own retail presence through partnerships with other large UK retailers such as Woolworths and Argos.

Michael Carew, CEO of Freshtel said the company was thrilled to receive an award which showed an appreciation for the valuable market position created in such a short time.

"When Freshtel was launched in 2003 we knew global scale would be very important in the internet telephony industry. Our innovative white label model ensures that our products are available to millions of consumers in the UK.

"Key to our success is the true partnership with our retailers and wholesalers, and a model that ensures that the growth of the Voicedot network is of benefit to all of these partners, which in turn has created a solid foundation for global growth," said Carew.
