Ken Harrison Talks About Doing Business the Hargray Way

Tuesday, June 14th, 2016

Strategic Account Manager for Hargray, Ken Harrison talks about the history of the company and the "Hargray Way."

In 1949, advanced technology meant having a telephone hanging on your kitchen wall. Advertising your business meant hanging a sign in your store window, hoping customers would see it. Telecommunication has come a long way since then—from using a telephone to call someone at the other end of the street to using the Internet to connect with a global audience. Yes, technology has changed. What hasn’t changed is the way Hargray does business. When you consider our roots, that makes sense.

Back in ’49 — when we were just a local, family-owned company based in Hardeeville — relationships were the first order of business. For more than 65 years, that people-first way of doing business has guided everything we’ve done, enabling Hargray to evolve into a recognized leader in the industry. Today, were as committed as ever to connecting our residential and business customers with superior entertainment and communications services. 

We believe it’s our responsibility to continue to do business with the same key values we’ve had since day one. That means keeping our commitment to the community at large and the greater Savannah region. We have more than 400 local employees who know how important it is to provide the best customer support. After all, that’s what friends do. We support more than 300 local charities and are fully invested to develop and support a healthy residential and business environment. Frankly, a better community is better for business. 

Over the past five years alone, we’ve invested more than $130 million in network improvements and expansion in Georgia, with deployments of fiber-based business services in Savannah, Statesboro, Hinesville and Richmond Hill. That’s why Hargray is among the fastest-growing and highest-ranked communications providers for Georgia’s leading hospitals, universities, retail centers, hotels and airports. We’re increasing capabilities and lowering costs across the spectrum of businesses — from hospitality and tourism to automotive and high-tech government and education. 

It’s been a long time since that phone on the kitchen wall was the primary vehicle for communication. Hargray understands that business customers need reliable access to the most advanced communications technology to succeed. That’s why we created Hargray Business Network. And that’s doing business the Hargray way.
