A UK business outsourcing provider has agreed a three-year contract with Anglian Water to support its most vulnerable customers.
Sigma Connected, which provides UK and offshore customer contact services for some of Britain’s utility and financial services firms, has signed the deal to provide its ReachOut service to the geographic water and wastewater company in England and Wales - supporting its most vulnerable or financially challenged customers.
ReachOut will see Sigma’s team helping around 600 vulnerable people in debt every month by engaging with them, raising awareness of support and guiding them to charities such as the Samaritans, StepChange, MIND, Turn2us and Macmillan. The charities help with any underlying challenges often linked to debt, with Sigma’s ReachOut team also guiding customers back to the support Anglian Water has to offer those in poverty.
Sigma Connected’s CEO Gary Gilburd said: "Our trial of ReachOut with Anglian Water was a huge success and they are now leading the way in the water industry by becoming the first company outside of the energy and banking sectors to engage with and commit to ReachOut.
"This is all about our team engaging with, building trust and really listening to people in debt – understanding what’s making their bills difficult to manage – and guiding them back to the client’s own teams, alongside the best possible support with financial, emotional and physical wellbeing in mind.
"It is another great milestone for ReachOut and we look forward to making a difference between now and 2024."
Spencer Hough, Head of Billing and Collections at Anglian Water added: "The ReachOut service has shown us that by using a trusted partner to support customers on our behalf we can get vulnerable customers to open up more about the challenges they are facing and then find a route to help them.
"It will undoubtably bring us closer to thousands of our customers, help to resolve their debt and improve awareness of the type of support available. We have high hopes for ReachOut and look forward to working hand-in-hand with the team at Sigma."

| 8.) |  Virtual Phone Numbers (DID) and Business VoIP Phone Service Whether a customer is running a Call Center business, an IVR system to take phone orders or a voice mail service bureau, he still needs inbound lines and access numbers (DIDs). These lines and DIDs give customers the ability to call in and use the service. Traditionally, these lines and DIDs were obtained through the local telephone company (i.e. Verizon, AT&T or Time Warner) and a company could only purchase numbers with area codes in the region the system resided. With VoIP, this has changed. DID Live is an IP DID service that allows you to accept incoming calls via VoIP as an alternative to standard digital or analog lines.
