South West Communications Group was founded in 1983 by the company's current chief executive officer and chairman, Tony Rowe, as a provider of business telephone systems. Since then, it has grown, both in size and technological expertise, to meet an ever-changing demand for more efficient, secure, scalable, cost-effective and reliable communication systems using the latest voice, data and Internet solutions. With more than 120 people delivering and maintaining its range of services to a wide variety of businesses across the UK, its annual turnover is currently in excess of £20 million per annum.
Harry Langley, Managing Director
“We work for a wide range of clients, each with extensive customer networks. Take Toshiba Elite, for example. For 21 years, we've installed their business telephone systems into more than 4000 businesses across the UK. Once the equipment's installed, our engineers take responsibility for its upkeep; including moves, additions and changes as well as delivering software upgrades and providing ongoing support. One technical glitch outside our control could have far-reaching effects so having the right commercial insurance is essential.”
