STOCK WATCH

BUSINESS broadband provider Toople scored a ‘major contract win’, sending its shares through the roof.

The deal, with a ‘well-known’ telecoms reseller in the south of England, will bring in at least £3.5m extra revenue over three years.

Telecoms resellers pay carriers like Toople for access to their networks, so the reseller can bundle up services like phone lines and broadband for customers.

Shares ended the day up 362.5pc, or 0.72p, at 0.92p.
