On receiving the Jamaica Bureau of Standards' top ranking for excellence in service, Digicel has dedicated the prestigious award to its more than two million customers.

The total telecommunications and entertainment services provider also received sectional awards for excellence in human resource focus and excellence in business results at the Bureau's National Quality Awards Ceremony in Kingston on Wednesday night.

In reaction to the announcement, CEO of Digicel Jamaica David Butler said, "We wholeheartedly dedicate the top award to our customers and say a big 'thank you' to all of them. "

He continued, "These wins are the latest example of our constant obsession with our customers - making sure that we deliver the highest quality of service and satisfaction."

The trifecta comes as Digicel continues its extended celebration of Customer Service Week.

"I cannot think of a better time to receive this recognition. All this week we've been celebrating the unwavering commitment and dedication of our more than 500 customer care agents who are always answering the call to better serve our customers. So, these awards are another reflection of their hard work," Butler said.

Digicel's strong focus on recruiting, training and developing the best human talent helped earn it top recognition in the human resource category.

The introduction and successful performance of Jamaica's first LTE network, along with Digicel Play - which offers the fastest home Internet speeds and a rich array of content - contributed to the award for excellence in business focus.
