Telecommunications Union ICT Week & Symposium held on March 20 - 24 in Antigua, C&W's
Caribbean President, Garry Sinclair delivered an interactive presentation during which he showcased the Company's newest
award-winning, customer-focused app -

world's largest Broadband and Entertainment Company, Liberty Global. Sinclair said that C&W is in transition on its way to
becoming the best telecoms company in the region. Sinclair also said, "We are refocusing and will continue to put the customer at
the heart of what we do. To do so we will leverage the size and scale of our parent company, develop more innovative apps,
products and services that provide anytime, anywhere connectivity to give our customers more flexibility and convenience to suit
their lifestyle needs. In addition, we will continue to make investments and improvements in our network."
Flow Lend provides credit advance at 'zero interest and no fees' to loyal prepaid mobile customers keeping them connected even
