The £250,000, two-year deal with the Welsh Parliament saw Barclay Communications turn around several hundred connections and deliver new handsets to the client within three working days to coincide with the elected body’s recent election event.
Meanwhile, the New Forest District Council contract in Hampshire, England, covers over 750 connections with plans for additional growth in the pipeline.
