Bristol & London Links Up with Telewest Business and Reduces Voice Charges by 30%

WOKING, England--May 2, 20055, 2005--Bristol & London have teamed up with Telewest Business to manage their telephone lines and calls using Telewest Business' Wholesale Line Rental (WLR) and Carrier Pre-Select (CPS) services.

Bristol & London PLC has become the leading specialist supplier of prestige only cars to the credit hire industry, employing over 65 members of staff from their headquarters in Bristol and boasting an extensive fleet including marques such as BMW, Mercedes Benz, Porsche and Jaguar to name but a few. They are the leading provider of prestige replacement cars to drivers who have been involved in non-fault accidents.

Bristol & London needed to link up their head office in Bristol with numerous home worker sites across the region but previous line rental and call charges meant that costs were escalating.

Bob Woods, Chairman of Bristol and London commented: " As demonstrated by our recent announcement to implement new software throughout Bristol & London, we are committed to improving the efficiency of our operating systems. As a result of our choice of Telewest's Business CPS and WLR service, we believe such a move will extend our strategy to provide better systems at reduced costs."

"Telewest Business are our preferred supplier. They have a dedicated account management service so if we have any queries we can speak directly to our account manager who is based locally " Woods said.

Julien St.John-Dennis, Director of Voice, Telewest Business said: "Our CPS and WLR service means we can now offer customers a much more competitive voice tariff than BT. Backed up by our high level of quality service, organisations are turning to us to provide voice services nationally."

They will also utilise Telewest's Advanced SRS platform to manage their inbound calls from non-geographic numbers such as 0800 to their central headquarters in Bristol.
