There is a rumour on iii that KCOM have won a "lucrative supermarket contract". Hoping it's true!
Anyone heard anything?

[humberbridge] 29/10/2011 21:20

So does anybody think KCOM is going to be taken over in the near future ?

News link on IG says KCOM promoted to FTSE250 in next reshuffle - excellent!

[painter] 20/8/2011 09:39

The "FTSE 250 automatic entry position" now stands between 387.4m and 385.7m. KCOM's Mrk cap is 375.8m. I am still hoping!

[painter] 18/8/2011 13:50

Someone's buying IMO. Large O trades going through as sales. We will see an RNS tomorrow I think.

[painter] 16/8/2011 14:36

I am still hoping that these will sneek into the 250 come 7th Sept. They were on track until the US debt downgrade. Some positive news is needed soon though and the share price move is encouraging.

[solarno lopez] 16/8/2011 14:00

Can it break through 80p ?

[mumbys] 21/7/2011 09:39

The main providers of the Network itself are BT Wholesale, Global Crossing and Cable & Wireless. Virgin Media will underpin the PSN with its fibre optic network. Working alongside the large network suppliers are vendors such as Kcom - which is also involved with the Cabinet Office PSN Programme to help develop the standards that will underpin the PSN. Kcom previously went by the name of Kingston Communications, and you might know it as the dedicated telecoms supplier to Kingston-upon-Hull, and provider of the cream-coloured telephone boxes!

More recently Kcom has added to its portfolio with SaaS offereings (more specifically hosted email and SharePoint), alongside other managed application services. However, it is clear there is more in the tank and we expect to see the breadth of its offerings grow over the next six months – most likely playing to its focus around unified communications and collaboration.

Language is everything for KC Contact Centres 28th Jun

(201188 Views)

28th June 2011 - KC Contact Centres has signed a deal with language specialists Language is Everything to use its interpretation services to handle calls from non-English speakers on its key public sector accounts.

Part of the KCOM Group PLC, KC Contact Centres provides inbound and outbound contact centre services as well as wholesale directory enquiries services and professional consultancy services. Public sector clients include Hull City Council, Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council and a key central Government department.

From July, all calls from non-English speakers to KC Contact Centres' Hull-based call centre will be connected to one of Language is Everything's qualified linguists. A three-way conversation between the customer, the call centre adviser and the interpreter means that the customer's enquiry can be handled quickly and with confidence that their needs are being met.

Language is Everything provides telephone and face-to-face interpretation services and written translation services to public and private sector organisations throughout the UK and internationally.

It employs 20 people at its offices in the World Trade Centre in Hull and has a network of qualified linguists based around the UK who cover more than 170 different languages.

Tony Jopling, Head of KC Contact Centres, said: "We receive calls every day from people whose first language isn't English and we want to give them the same high standard of service that all our other customers receive.

"Language is Everything shares our passion for customer service excellence and we've been impressed by the quality of the interpreters they use, the efficiency of their operations and their innovative approach."

Language is Everything Chief Executive Carolyn Burgess said: "As UK communities become more diverse there's a growing need for language services within local and central Government, and through our interpreters, non-English speakers can gain access to vital public sector services.

"We delighted to be working with a company with such a strong customer service ethos, and one which recognises the benefits of using qualified linguists to interpret customer needs and make sure they're met."
