Change Reinforces ‘One Company, One Vision’ for CCI
March 25, 2014 – Consolidated Communications, Inc. (CCI) announced that effective today, it will begin doing business in its SureWest markets under the “Consolidated Communications” name and brand.
“This is an exciting time for our company, our customers and our employees,” said Consolidated Communications President & COO Bob Udell. “Using the Consolidated Communications name in our California and Kansas markets helps us operate as one united company with a keen focus on providing innovative products at competitive prices while maintaining the highest levels of customer service.”

As our name becomes increasingly visible in the community and as you continue to interact with our employees who have been your longtime colleagues and neighbors, I hope you will continue to see us as a company on which you can rely.”
