Hilton Hotels

Crowthorne have undoubted skills in the handling of call traffic and in general support for a diverse multi-sited group like we are. We have cut our cost of calling by over £250,000 in the last year and that is difficult to imagine considering the general low level of costs in today’s market. Crowthorne have real leverage when dealing with the carriers and we benefit by being their client.

Since their conception Crowthorne has managed the single most important part of our business. Without first class telecommunications our global telesales operation simply could not function. It doesn’t matter whether we ask them to provide a global high speed international data network, a solution for a remote worker in the middle of the Mediterranean or right down to a single telephone line. They have worked with our business to deliverer cost effective timely solutions.

Apex Hotels

Apex Hotels has worked with Crowthorne for 5 years and in that time, we have found them to have all the relevant voice expertise to support a growing 4 Star hotel group such as Apex.

Crowthorne have been responsible for managing our call traffic and line rentals over the whole course of our relationship, monitoring reduced costs and all issues with our voice circuits. More recently, they have provided the Mitel PBX maintenance support for the newer estate additions to our hotel group.

In early 2009 they have completed the installation of a new Mitel 3300 phone system for our new Apex Waterloo Place Hotel in Edinburgh. They competently absorbed any issues and dealt with them both professionally and without fuss, increasing our confidence in their overall capability.

In the third quarter of this year, 2009, they will present their vision of a voice convergence solution to Apex.

Essilor UK

Essilor UK and Crowthorne have worked closely for many years during which time Crowthorne have been appointed as a Collaborative Supply Chain Partner (CSCP) status to the Essilor UK Group.

Crowthorne have achieved CSCP status (awarded to less than 2% of Essilor's suppliers) by consistently delivering for example: competitive, value for money innovative solutions supported by excellent customer services and a professional, ethical, sustainable and progressive relationship. During 2011 Crowthorne will deliver unified communications solutions across Essilor UK Group companies which will further reduce costs whilst enhancing broader based service solutions. I have no hesitation in recommending Crowthorne as a provider of mobile, fixed line and other related communication solutions.
