Fone Logistics recognised nationally

Northumberland telecoms firm Fone Logistics has been nationally recognised at the Mobile News Awards for a year of growth despite the recession.

The Cramlington business was commended by Mobile News for its performance in 2009, ringing in a turnover increase of almost 10%, and a 26% growth in network connections.

The company restructured in November 2009 with local businessman and founder Ian Gillespie reassuming full control of the business, following a deal to acquire share capital from external funders.

Fone Logistics distributes airtime for the UK’s leading networks including, O2, 3, Orange and Vodafone to its channel partners and has seen continuous increasing of its distribution marketplace share in 2009.

Fone Logistics marketing director Julien Parven said: “We are all extremely proud of our achievements in the past year and being commended at the Mobile News Awardscements our position as the leading multi network distributor in the North, and one of the top two in the UK.

“We have worked hard, not only at the service we deliver to our dealer partners and the networks via our sales and marketing support, IT infrastructure and dealer reward schemes - but also at internal communication. Staff engagement remains high on our agenda, and we are proud to say that more than 40 percent of our workforce has clocked up a minimum of five years’ service.”
