JT celebrates Millionth subscriber milestone On Saturday 19 December, the Parkinson family from St Clement, Jersey, became the millionth subscriber to JT’s network and they certainly had reason to join JT in celebrating this landmark occasion.

When the family visited the JT store in Jersey on Saturday to add their daughter to the family’s JT One plan, they were taken by surprise by JT’s retail team who presented them with a Tech hamper worth over £1,000 filled with the latest Smart devices and gadgets.

Tracie Parkinson said: “It was amazing, we went into JT and the next thing we knew we were being presented with the prize, it was all a bit surreal. It’s very exciting and our daughter is already playing with the gadgets, she thinks Christmas has come early.”

Graeme Millar, CEO of JT, said: “Many congratulations to the Parkinson family who became our millionth subscriber on Saturday, and we are thrilled to celebrate this milestone. This event created a really fantastic atmosphere in the store and we’re all delighted for the lucky customers who now have a selection of new devices which we hope will help make Christmas extra special this year for their family.

“As the Channel Islands’ only locally owned telecoms business we’re really proud to celebrate this major milestone in growing our customer base with someone who lives in Jersey. For a small Island based telco it’s a real achievement to reach the million mark and its extra special that we have reached this point at the end of a year, in which we have introduced a new 4G network and have had some real successes globally in growing our subscriber base. While our focus remains on investing in the Channel Islands and delivering the very best products and services to support our customers as they embrace new technology, we are also committed to growing globally. When it comes to assessing how we are doing, it’s milestones like reaching the millionth subscriber that

really brings it home to us and we are delighted to be able to share the celebration with the Parkinson family.”

Parrot Airport Cargo Drone
