Company History

From call centre to a customer support centre of excellence.

2001 - The formative years

Key Answering Systems was launched in 2001 by our Managing Director, Pat Keogh. 

Our journey began supporting a handful of Small and Medium businesses. At the time his fundamental objective was to reduce clients’ administration and receptionist costs by offering bespoke call-answering services.

2004 - Expansion and growth 

We rebranded to Call Management in 2004 and with this came a relocation to larger offices in Glanmire Cork. This move enabled us to expand our service offering and begin to support our clients on a 24x7 basis. 

Call Management continued to establish itself in Ireland by providing quality-focused call centre solutions to private and public organisations. 

2014 - Making our mark 

As we expanded Call Management’s service offering to include email, social media and live chat we decided to rebrand and relaunch as Arema Connect. This allowed us to explore digital support channels and the scaling up of our in-house team. The incorporation of additional services empowered us to target more sectors and international markets to continue to grow our client base. 

2024 - Always innovating 

Presently, our focus is looking for ways to improve our service offering for clients. We achieve this by keeping up to date with the latest industry trends and cutting-edge technological advancements. The outcome is to always evolve with our clients’ ever-changing needs.
