Letter From The Founders
From The Founders
Greetings to our valued Business Agents, Customers and Colleagues:If only one of us ran this company, Nitel would be half as strong. When we joined forces in 2001, we both had worked for major carriers, and Rick had already been in business for four years. We shared a vision of serving businesses with better options and prices that met their unique needs. By 2003, we had changed the company's business model to the core of Nitel as you know it today: an integrated provider of nationwide network connectivity services. We've never looked back, and our company's rapid growth reflects our aggressive style.
Ernst & Young Takes Notice
Now the folks at Ernst & Young have taken notice. We're pleased to share with you that Rick is a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award in the Midwest. Rick was nominated by one of our business agents for the award, considered the most prestigious global recognition program for entrepreneurs.We Couldn't Have Done It Without You
We share this recognition with the entire Nitel employee team, who work every day to make sure our customers receive the best service at the best prices. We share it with our agents, who are the most professional in the business. And we share it with our customer, who really helped us earn this and every other accolade heaped on Nitel through your trust in us.Please know that we intend to keep that trust by continuing to demonstrate our commitment to you.
