GO Business has won the best-win-against-competition award on grounds of its “continued drive and motivation in strengthening Alcatel-Lucent presence among GO’s business customers”.

GO’s business team, in particular its sales representative, Amanda Abela, was singled out as winner of the award from a large number of communications companies that were in the running for the awards.
