London, UK, Feb, 2022 -- Journeycall, which provides customer service support and smartcard services for the UK transport industry, has a won a major new three-year contract with Network Rail to run the Network Rail National Contact Centre 24/7, 365 days a year.
The contract will see Journeycall manage the Contract Centre and helpdesk service, which is the primary point of contact for Network Rail, the owner and infrastructure manager of most of the railway network in Great Britain.
Journeycall will handle all enquiries into the four components of the National Contact Centre: the National Helpline – including the important emergency line; the central switchboard, the Commercial Property helpdesk; and an out of hours Media Service.
Currently based in Arbroath, Journeycall will deliver this contract in a newly-created satellite contact centre on the ground in Hull. To ensure a smooth opening to the service that keeps the specialist knowledge of current Network Rail National Contact Centre staff, Journeycall is transferring the existing Network Rail team to a new space in Hull. This bespoke, expert team of 33 will see Journeycall expand and grow its business in Hull by also hosting additional contact centre service contracts.
The Journeycall team will use their customer-service skills across a wide range of contact channels including telephone, email, live chat, whitemail, Facebook messenger, Whatsapp, and other social media channels to address all types of activities.
Theresa Slevin, Group CEO, ESP Group said: "This is significant contract win for us, and one that we’re incredibly proud to be working on. It is an exciting time for the business as the Network Rail National Contact Centre is enabling us to expand south of the border into Hull and increase our service offerings.
"Network Rail’s core objective of ‘putting passengers first’ aligns perfectly with our own ethos, and we are committed to ensuring that every contact we have with passengers and customers provides a positive experience. Our highly skilled teams are experienced in delivering first rate customer support and have a proven ability to effectively and efficiently manage a full spectrum of inbound and outbound customer interactions, so we’re extremely well-prepared to manage this work. Additional specialist training has already commenced, and we’re looking forward to getting started early next year."
Sarah Sanders, Head of Contact and Community Engagement at Network Rail added: "We are delighted to have appointed Journeycall as our contact centre service provider. Having visited their Arbroath operation and spent time with the leadership team we are optimistic that the service we provide to our customers will be even better than ever before."
