The contract worth more than £200,000, lasting three years, will see the Edinburgh-headquartered network operator overhaul Duncan and Todd Group’s WAN solutions, linking it up to Commsworld’s UK-wide Optical Core Network.
This will provide the business with access to the network’s ultra-fast connectivity, as well as the resiliency and flexibility needed for a digitally-advanced business with branches across Scotland.

“So it is heartening that a business like Duncan and Todd Group is fully embracing the connectivity we have to offer. Connectivity is the technological umbilical cord to the cloud, and our solutions make sure that businesses have the latest essential digital tools, and embrace fibre broadband which is central to keeping their infrastructure and data safe.”
Ross McLellan, Chief Financial Officer of Duncan and Todd Group, said: “We are delighted to have formed a new relationship with Commsworld and are looking forward to our new digital service providing the connectivity and resiliency to drive forward our virtual services.
“Duncan and Todd Group supports thousands of people each week across Scotland, providing expert eye and hearing care, repairing and replacing glasses, delivering contact lenses and wide choice of frames styles matched with the latest lens technology.
“We look forward to having the improved digital capabilities that a growing business of our size and stature needs to meet the needs of our expanding customer base, and to take advantage of developments in technology in the industry to deliver the very best of care for our customers.”
