Azzurri will be accredited in Infrastructure and Commectivity, Netowrk Analysis and Billing Audit Services, Networking Equipment, Voice Calls and Lines and Third Party Maintenance. Each accreditation will last for four years.

Jason Standerwick, sales and marketing director at Azzurri, said: "This is a rigorous process of assessment into all aspects of Azzurri’s business credentials, evaluated in areas critical to the public sector such as environmental compliance, security and our pricing mechanisms. Our experience of working closely with public sector customers certainly assisted in submitting a successful application for these accreditations and we are delighted to be recognised as a leading provider in this space.”
