CABLE & Wireless has announced a positive set of results for the six months ended 30 September.

Its total group revenue increased by 5% to £1.6bn, with its Europe, Asia and US division up by 4% and its international one, of which Guernsey is a part, up by 5% to $1,273m.

Eddie Saints (pictured), chief executive of Cable & Wireless Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Bermuda, said the group’s continuing success was good news.

‘In our region, our half-year results were also ahead of plan, driven by great performance in Guernsey and continued growth in our enterprise business across the region.

‘In the second half of the year we expect to have mobile number portability in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man which will be positive because of our position as a value-driven, customer-focused operator.’
