New helpline number
Friday, 08 September 2006
The Alliance has a new helpline number!  We have recently acquired a non-geographic number attached to a virtual call centre for our helpline.  Benefits of this approach include being able to have a larger number of helpline staff available to take your call, cheaper call costs for you (all calls from a landline will be charged at local rate), longer opening hours and a dedicated answering service when no-one is available to take calls.  We will also be able to monitor calls more accurately and consequently tailor our service to better serve you during peak times.  The new number is 0845 122 8608, and we are currently producing posters with this number on them for waiting rooms around the country.  If you would like a copy of this poster to display, please contact Ursula on 020 7089 6334 or .
