Chesham Precision Properties Limited specialise in developing industrial and residential sites, transforming them into flats, houses or hotels.

Property developers often have to move around between a variety of different sites and the 8-strong staff are rarely found in the office for more than half the week. As a result mobile communications are essential for co-ordinating team movements. Scheduling meetings with contractors would also be practically impossible if Cheshamýs employees were not equipped with their own mobile phone.

Life on the road can be hard, especially when you are a sole-trader. However, when you’re allowed the freedom to roam and take your office with you when out and about because of a good value mobile deal, it makes life a great deal easier. This is something James Curd, Managing Director of hair accessory import business 'It's A Hair Thing', has learnt by signing up to 3.

Business has never been better for the people at KSL Garage Services. The busy car repair centre in Kirkby, Merseyside, offers everything from MOTs to bodyshop parts to a breakdown recovery service. The staff of 10 must keep ahead of their competitors in customer service, as well as maintaining the streamlined efficiency that a small company must have to survive in a small marketplace.

A forward-thinking part of Severn Trent Water, the Retail Services division primarily looks after residential customers in need of drainage and sewage searches around the Nottingham area. These searches are necessary for inclusion in Home Information Packs (HIPs). With over a hundred staff it is a bustling business, and an increasing number of employees are beginning to work from home. This allows a faster response to requests for searches from all over the region.

Apart from looking after all administrative and facilities-related tasks at the University of Exeter Student Union, Norrie Blackeby also takes full responsibility for the mobile needs of the Union’s Executive Committee. The Executives are often away from their offices and it is necessary for them to be contactable at short notice, wherever they are. Taking full advantage of a good value mobile package from 3 has made for a more functional and efficient department.
