INDEPENDENT telecoms company TenTel have revealed plans to create over 40 new jobs in Scotland following a £170,000 Regional Selective Assistance funding award.
The grant will also enable the company to relocate to larger premises outside Edinburgh.
TenTel is a “challenger” telecoms company that offers no-contract broadband and telephone services and is aiming to compete with the sector’s “big four”: BT, Sky, TalkTalk and Virgin.
RSA is a discretionary grant set up by Scottish Enterprise which awards funds to companies that will directly create or safeguard jobs in Scotland.
Daniel Halliday, Head of Finance at TenTel said: “The RSA funding is extremely important to our future. We’ve already created a number of great job opportunities and this funding will allow us to create even more as we grow our business in the future.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
