Updating your telecoms is the key to continuing to grow and develop your business, improving communication with customers and your team.
Apptel have been providing Telecoms services to NMBS Members and independent Builders Merchants generally for many years. We understand how you work and how you need your telecoms provider to support you. Most of our services are BT Wholesale services, giving you the reassurance of connecting to the UK's national telecoms infrastructure, with the benefit of genuine small and medium sized business support.
We'll never tell you what's best for your business, but listen to you to understand your business and work with you to provide the best solution for you - harnessing the technology to provide a solution to transform the way you work, and the service you give your clients.
Apptel specialise in working with the Independent Merchant sector and have over 30 years experience helping merchants with their telecoms and Internet requirements.
We look after merchants from Aberdeen to Bude meaning wherever you are we can be there for you.
We offer a one month rolling contract on almost all of the services we supply, at a time when the majority of our competitors are pushing 3 or 5 year contracts as standard.
In an environment when technology is changing we understand the requirements of the merchant trade and realise that for most of our customers what they value most is clear advice, good service when there’s a fault and being easy to do business with. In practical terms this means that when you call with a fault we will know who you are, report faults into BT quickly and keep you updated with the progress of a fault, you won’t have to hold for hours to speak to a call centre or for someone to call you back, and you definitely won’t have to repeat the fault to multiple people, while being kept on hold between them.
Having over 30 years experience delivering business telecoms to Small and Medium sized businesses we understand both the products and services we are supplying and also how BT as a whole work, including the relationships between BT Retail, BT Wholesale and Openreach – this allows us to cut through the confusion and ensure we deliver the best possible service.
We are conscious of your costs, and what it takes to build a long term business relationship - working together.
