BCR Associates, the cost reduction franchise has once again proved its strength and expertise in the telecoms sector by being recognised by the Gamma network (Uniworld) as their second largest growth channel partner.

BCR Associates, whose franchisees operate as independents, saves customers millions of pounds by slashing core running expenses and negotiating the very best deals. The company has also been acknowledged by Uniworld as a member of its exclusive Elite club, in recognition of its continued commitment to the telecoms sector.

The growing importance of the telecoms sector within BCR Associates’ extensive portfolio of cost reduction services, has led to the expansion of the specialist telecoms team which supports the franchisee network. Martin Robbins joins the business having previously worked for Vodafone and will bring a wealth of experience in determining the best mobile phone deals for BCR Associates customers. Martin’s appointment will strengthen the current dedicated telecoms resource which comprises Andy Strong who is responsible for landlines and broadband and Richard Thomas, who as telecoms director, heads up the division.

Commenting on the acknowledgement, Richard Thomas says “It was a pleasant surprise to be recognised by one of our supply panel in this way. Our main aim is to meet our clients’ needs to reduce costs and increase service levels and performance, if this leads to such recognition it is a very positive reflection on our business.”
