Byron Clatterbuck, CEO at Seacom says: "We have grown significantly following the successful launch of Seacom Business which focuses on bringing broadband and cloud services directly to commercial business users. The MacroLan acquisition is a continuation of this story, through which we will grow the Seacom family of talented staff and satisfied customers in the Western Cape.”
MacroLan manages an expanding fibre network serving a growing number of Cape Town’s commercial users. It also owns and manages fibre infrastructure and access at numerous commercial buildings, offering clients access to a range of business broadband services as well as value-added services.
Says Paul Johnson, CEO at MacroLan: “This transaction gives us the backing of a major pan-African telecom partner, in turn offering us access to the resources and muscle we need to grow our business.”
