"ISL Services feels that there is a rapidly expanding acceptance by consumers to make purchases over the internet, and a growing awareness of the values that are available. We look forward to allowing the price and quality conscience consumer the opportunity to purchase the best products available direct from our company in Guernsey. Till now, our products were only available from one of our four offices, so we are very excited by this development," said Gregg Weiner, Director, ISL Services. "CBQ has shown that it has the knowledge and experience to bring our vision to market."
