    FCC becomes first UK tech reseller to be awarded B Corp status

    A pioneering South West telecoms reseller has marked a decade in business by setting a UK precedent, becoming the first in its industry to achieve B Corp status.

    Staff at First Class Comms in Weston-super-Mare have spent the past 12 months on a journey towards the certification which assesses the governance, employment standards, community outreach, environmental values and customer service levels of a business.

    Fewer than 1,500 companies in the UK have achieved B Corp status – the gold standard certification for businesses making a positive impact on their various stakeholders.

    Now First Class Comms, which started life as a one-person, home office business in 2013, has become the first of its kind in the country to achieve the award.

    The company provides telephony, mobile phones and contracts, and broadband and internet services to some 300 clients, the majority of which have their head offices in the South West.

    “Becoming B Corp certified is a great achievement for the company,” said FCC founder and managing director Mark Burland. “Fortunately we had already incorporated many of the values into our business practices, particularly in terms of our management of staff and our customer services."

Explainer: why you should switch to a business phone system (hosted telephony)

In today’s fast-paced business landscape, effective communication is paramount for success. A hosted phone system, also known as a cloud-based phone system or hosted VoIP, offers businesses a flexible and efficient solution to streamline their communication processes. Here we’ll explore the benefits of a hosted phone system and how it can elevate your business communications to the next level.

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Hosting your phone system in the cloud eliminates the need for costly hardware and maintenance. With a hosted solution, you can avoid upfront investments and ongoing expenses, making it a budget-friendly option for businesses of all sizes.

  • Scalability: As your business grows, so do your communication needs. A hosted phone system easily scales up or down to accommodate your changing requirements. Whether you’re adding new employees or expanding to multiple locations, a cloud-based system can effortlessly adapt to your evolving business landscape.

  • Flexibility and Mobility: In today’s remote work era, the ability to stay connected from anywhere is crucial. A hosted phone system enables employees to make and receive calls using their work number from any device with an internet connection. This flexibility enhances productivity and ensures seamless communication even when working remotely.

  • Advanced Features: Hosted phone systems come equipped with a range of advanced features that can enhance your business operations. Features such as voicemail-to-email, call forwarding, auto-attendants, and call analytics empower you to manage your calls more efficiently and provide an improved customer experience.

  • Reliability and Redundancy: Cloud-based phone systems are hosted on secure and reliable servers, minimising downtime due to hardware failures or maintenance issues. Additionally, FCC offers redundancy and failover options, ensuring uninterrupted communication even in the face of unforeseen circumstances.

  • Easy Maintenance and Updates: Traditional phone systems often require extensive IT support and maintenance. With a hosted system, updates and maintenance are handled by us, freeing up your IT team to focus on more strategic initiatives.
