Batelco Group CEO Ihab Hinnawi highlighted Sure's performance in the company's latest report.

'As the quarterly results show, the Batelco Group operates in some extremely competitive and challenging markets, so it's particularly pleasing to know that Sure is contributing strongly to the group's overall results,' said Ian Kelly, Sure's acting CEO.
