Hi Comtel Team,

I just wanted to let you know that the young man Jono who installed my intercom in apartment 28 is definitely a keeper and deserves a pay rise! I was very impressed with the way he explained how my intercom works whilst he was installing it and his exceptional manners as well as cleaning up any mess that was made is to be commended.

I would recommend Comtel to my friends and family.

John

It has been a pleasure dealing with Comtel. As IT manager I have dealt with a variety of companies to ensure our systems continue to remain operational. Over the last eight years I have seen many technicians come and go and their capabilities and knowledge in the systems they support vary greatly. Not so however with Comtel, I deal with the same technicians and support staff as I did when I started with the company. Their knowledge and friendly approach to my needs is second to none.

Thanks for all the support, you made my job easier.

Our Team

Martyn Zammit

Martyn started his career in electronics as a technician with communications giant Ericsson. Moving on to Intruder Alarm installations exposed him to a variety of systems and technical challenges and eventually to sales. Martyn excelled in the highly specialised market of military-grade LED screen solutions, dealing with Armed Services and Police Forces world-wide. Starting a family lead to a desire for a role with less overseas travel and he joined Comtel Technologies as a Sales Consultant, focusing on Nurse Call systems for the Aged Care market. In 2017, after substantial segment growth, Martyn had the opportunity to purchase the company and commenced the next stage of his career in the electronics sector as Managing Director.
