Optus Inc. Jobs and Profile

Mark Duckworth, the founder of Optus, Inc. (formerly known as Matrix Telecommunications, Inc) started his business in October, 1991 with hardly more than a strong belief in himself, a little money he had managed to set aside, and a small loan from his parents.  While doing accounting work at a secondary market firm, Mark gained knowledge of the secondary industry.  Attracted by the opportunity for success in the secondary market and with high aspirations, Mark entered the business arena.  The company was started with just two employees in his parents’ basement.  Within one month’s time, Mark had located a storefront in which to set up shop in Piggott , Arkansas , that was all of 600 square feet. 

In the spring of 1995, Matrix began the planning and construction of its new facility in Jonesboro , AR , and relocated in March of 1996.  Matrix opened a new affiliate, Optus Communications, Inc. dedicated entirely to serving local customers. 

In early 1999, Mark Duckworth merged the names of Matrix Telecommunications and Optus Communications into one name:  Optus, Inc. 

Optus, Inc. has two divisions – Field Sales and Inside Sales.

Field Sales offices are located in Jonesboro and Little Rock,AR; Texarkana, Dallas, and Houston, TX; and Memphis, TN.  We also have 3 project offices in St. Louis and Springfield , MO & Galveston , TX .   

Optus was founded on a cornerstone of integrity and quality that is evident today and will prevail throughout the future of Optus, Inc.
