Warwick Communications Under New Ownership

The previous family ownership team was interested in pursuing other interests and was approached with a purchase offer from an out-of-state company. Don Kuehn, the former President, decided that he would explore an employee purchase so the company could continue as a local entity -- just like when his father founded the company in 1946. The new ownership group, consisting of existing employees Steve Leopold, Heidi Murphy and Ryan Shorts along with the addition of Laura Green, has created a team that Kuehn is confident can take the company to the next level.

We are now the "new" Warwick! Our focus will be on providing unmatched customer service and innovative communication technology solutions to improve our position as one of Northern Ohio's technology leaders. The ownership change allows Warwick to meet the challenges and demands of the next generation of communication technology.

"We benefit from having a 'best of class' service organization on which to build. Our capabilities today, in both voice and data communications, provide customers a number of technology solutions delivered by a trusted partner. In the future, we will leverage our capabilities to become a complete managed services company. We will be offering our clients not only telephone systems and carrier services, but also end to end management of their data network," stated Ryan Shorts, VP Sales & Marketing.

Heidi Murphy, VP Finance, added, "We feel privileged to continue to serve our family of customers. We take pride in the history of Warwick and we aim to make continuous improvements."
