On the 25th February Helios Towers announced results for the 12 months to 31 December 2018. The big picture story remains one of continued organic growth through co-locations, amendment revenues and built-to-suit, driving margin improvements through Helios Tower’s Lean Six Sigma approach to operational efficiencies. The next big step for Helios Towers is the recently announced expansion into South Africa, through a partnership with Vulatel and acquisition of SA Towers, which provides the infrastructure platform to enter into one of Africa’s largest and most attractive markets.
