Telecoms firm TenTel have celebrated their record growth with a dance.

The Edinburgh based firm announced that they had recently reached their target of consistently signing up more than 100 customers a day, and to give themselves a pat on the back they went dancing.

Robert McKechnie, Managing Director, said: “The figures speak for themselves, as a business we have enjoyed a fantastic year.

“Fundamentally this growth has been down to the hard-work and creativity of the Tentel team. We have almost 100 employees and work very hard to foster a culture of ‘One Team’.

“We believe every employee plays a key part in delivering our vision – to hear all our customers say WOW!”

The company enlisted the help of Scotland’s national dance company, Scottish Ballet and came up with concept of a dance-themed team building event. Planning began in the summer of 2016 with teaser emails sent out to staff every week.

On the day of the event at the spectacular Hub in Edinburgh, employees were split into three groups and taken to rehearsal areas. Led by a team of talented dancers and choreographers, the groups explored and perfected routines under three themes – Urban, Bollywood and Flower Power.

TenTel celebrated one year at its office in Shawfair on the edge of Edinburgh in 2016. Starting out with a core team of 30 sales, technical and administrative staff it now employs more than 80 people.
