Cambridgeshire MAT Testimonial

I have worked with Tel Group for over 5 years and have always found them quick to respond and resolve any issues we may have. They have made ordering and set up of new telephone systems practically seamless across our multi academy trust.

Our dedicated account manager is a huge help in enabling our schools to build a relationship with an individual instead of a nameless customer service. I would highly recommend Tel Group as a provider.

Tel Group staff have supported brilliantly through technical difficulties experienced as a result of dated networking equipment, working with both the school and 3rd parties tirelessly to resolve the problems in order to ensure our new equipment works well.

Always at the end of a phone/email to support & guide when needed. I would definitely recommend Tel Group to other schools looking for a seamless change.
