Brightview was established in 2001 and currently claims to have around 62,000 broadband customers, generating revenues of £11m in the year ending 30 June 2007.
Brightview operates the Global Internet, Madasafish and Waitrose ISP brands and is currently working with the John Lewis Partnership to launch the 'GreenBee' broadband and telephony service.
