BCR Associates, which provides a cost reduction service for businesses, has been recognised by the Gamma network (Uniworld) as its second largest growth channel partner.

The franchise has also been acknowledged by Uniworld as a member of its exclusive Elite Club, in recognition of its continued commitment to the telecoms sectors.

BCR Associates franchise owners operate independent cost management businesses that save their customers millions of pounds by slashing core running expenses and negotiating the very best deal with suppliers.

The growing importance of the telecoms sector within BCR Associates’ portfolio has led to the expansion of the specialist telecoms team, which supports the franchise owner network. Martin Robbins (pictured above with Andy Strong and Richard Thomas) 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. Robbins’ appointment will strengthen the current dedicated telecoms resource, which is comprised of 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 said: “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.

“I believe BCR Associates success is down to the industry intelligence and sheer resource delivered by our specialist team, which enables them to identify the very best tariffs and contracts for our clients. The BCR Associates franchise network continues to outperform its competitors in terms of securing phenomenal savings for its customers in relation to reducing their telecoms services costs. We retain a 100 per cent independent approach and given the growing portfolio of clients keen to benefit from BCR Associates’ proven expertise in reducing essential running costs, we naturally generate significant sales for any of the main players in the telecoms sector, especially those offering financially attractive deals for the business community.”
