  • Road issues

We also deal with non-emergencies related calls for the client and these are logged and emailed to the main office to follow up on.

Our Proposal

Arema Connect is providing services to County Councils since 2005. Currently, we are the after hours contact centre team for 7 County Councils and City Councils. Our team is ISO Certified and we adhere to European Data Protection laws. This is highly important while dealing with the Public Administration.

Our client required additional resources available during the winter season, especially during adverse weather conditions. Arema Connect provided a dedicated team supported by shared agents that could support the increase of calls during specific times in really short notice.
