Real people, real support

We’ve been connecting communities since 1908 as a family-run business, committed to innovation and providing real, human support.

Our history

Founded by Robert Wightman in 1908, we’re a proud family-run business with a rich history. In 1928, Robert’s son Benjamin and his wife Leila took the helm and expanded our services to reach more people like you. After Benjamin’s passing in 1948, Leila stepped up as a trailblazing leader, guiding the company with determination until 1976. She truly was the original girl boss! In 1976, Leila’s son Ray took over ownership, marking him as the third generation of the Wightman family to lead the company. Since 2001, brothers Paul and Blair Wightman have been leading the charge, ensuring we not only honour our past but also embrace the exciting future of telecommunications.
