Azzurri victorious at Mobile News Awards 2007

Newbury, UK, March 2007: Leading business voice and data company Azzurri Communications is celebrating after picking up two awards at this year’s Mobile News Awards. Azzurri scooped the Best B2B Provider award for the third year running, making it back-to-back wins since 2005, as well as the sought after Customer Service Award, beating stiff opposition from the Carphone Warehouse, Tesco Mobile and Vodafone.

The Mobile News Awards are in their 13th year and celebrate organisations that have made a significant contribution to the mobile industry over the last year.

“We pride ourselves on fantastic customer service and this award is a huge achievement and a reflection of the hard work and dedication put in by all members of the Azzurri team,” comments Martin Flick, divisional director, Azzurri Communications. “We have invested heavily in both our staff and systems, to ensure that our customers receive the high level of service they deserve, whilst providing robust management tools to support increasingly complex converged voice and data solutions. Customer Service is no longer just about airtime and billing, it’s about proactively and continually adding value.”

The Mobile News Awards judging panel commented: “Once again Azzurri has shown that it is the firm to beat after winning the B2B Provider category back to back since 2005. As well as its high levels of customer service, we were impressed by the way in which Azzurri invests in and motivates its staff. All in all, Azzurri has proved again that it is focused, professional and market leading.”

Dave Winkworth, UK Production Manager, ADP Ltd adds: "Our Azzurri account manager clearly adds value through their support, responsiveness and fresh ideas when approaching our business requirements.
