Wells, Somerset -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/23/2011 -- At the beginning of March Gatenby Services Limited, an IT and Computer support company based in Wells, Somerset introduced a new support ticketing system as part of their programme of improvements to their support desk.

The previous system was email-based with a dedicated address for support for all service contract customers, however there was no central database to track support issues. This meant if an employee was away on a call-out all other employees could not track the progression of their particular support calls if needed. This also made it difficult to maintain an audit trail and analyse the history of support calls.

After a lengthy consultation process the decision was made to go with ZenDesk. Founded in 2007 by three men Danish men, ZenDesk is a web-based help desk software program with an elegant support ticket system and a self-service customer platform. Gatenby Services joins some of the worlds biggest brands in choosing ZenDesk including Adobe, Sony Music, Groupon and Lonely Planet.

The new system will enable all support requests to be logged and viewing by all relevant support technicians, as well as providing a central space for all query resolution. Support Engineer Brian Ely says of the new system "It means we can track requests accurately and respond to them much quicker than the previous system, which is what support is all about, resolving queries in a precise and quick way".

The new system is very flexible, customers need only send an email to support@gatenbyservices.co.uk and a ticket will automatically be created for them. The programme also supports Twitter integration and the ZenDesk iPad application is already in heavy use by the support team outside of the office.

Wells, Somerset -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/27/2010 -- Gatenby Services in Somerset has recently taken on a brand new Field Sales Representative based at their offices in Wells.

The role will include being responsible for the generating of new business in the local area, looking after existing clients and ensuring the company continues to meet their needs, and also setting up site visits and meetings with new customers. The role will include account management for some of Gatenby Services' larger clients, along with attendance at the main Trade Shows held all over the UK in order to represent the business nationally.

The need for a new member of staff arose due to recent company expansion, including the securing of a brand new contract which has increased workload significantly for the next 1-2 years. It was thought that the company could benefit from having a representative working outside of the office, canvassing the local businesses to generate new leads, as well as working with domestic users to provide or adapt their IT and Computing solutions.

It is thought that the new position will help to expand the company, which has recently been awarded a high value contract from the local employer to recommend and install a brand new IT suite along with hardware, and to maintain this for a number of years. The company has also recently acquired a brand new employee from one of its main competitors, which has further helped to boost the company and its capabilities in the local market.

The B & B Directory team prepare to raise more money whilst reflecting on past events

Wells, Somerset -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/31/2009 -- In the past year the team at TheBandBDirectory.co.uk have done some unusual things to raise money for Children in Need. In November 2008 they were all given £5 to go to the local charity shops and buy a complete outfit. This produced some considerably odd results! One staff member bought a long skirt and chopped it in half to make a complete outfit, others found and bought fur coats and pyjamas. One even wore a Santa's Helper outfit which she'd found for £4.99! Along with the clothing shenanigans all of the staff baked cakes and brought them in on the day. They sold them to each other and also to the local companies around the town on their lunch break. All in all £233 was raised for Children in Need.

The year previous to this, in November 2007, it was a fancy dress day, and more cakes were sold, with staff members even braving the cold outside to flag down passing motorists outside their building in a successful attempt to sell cakes to them. Needless to say, some members of the public thought it was a great idea and they gave generously to the cause, however some thought the team were a group of mad people!

The B & B Directory team plan to continue the tradition this year, getting out and about to sell goodies on the roads around their building. Although the theme is yet to be decided you can bet it will be hilarious! If you see a group of oddly-dressed people on the road this November, please stop and donate!

The B & B Directory, now in its sixth year, is received in excess of 4 million hits per month. You can view the site at http://www.thebandbdirectory.co.uk

The team at the Camping & Caravanning Directory get involved with raising money for charity!

Wells, Somerset -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/21/2009 -- In March this year, the team at the Camping & Caravanning Directory got together and decided to do something for Comic Relief.

The Director of the company came as 'Stiletto Woman' complete with a top hat with a high heel on top of it, while another employee came as 'Mystic Crayola' with a multi-coloured and stripy hat and dress. Yet another came as 'Zena the Warrior Princess' – with plaited hair and ethnic jewellery!

The team got out on the street during their lunch break to sell lots of home-made (some shop-bought!) cakes and cookies to the public and the surrounding businesses. All in all £350 was raised and donated to Comic Relief on March 13th. This is a brilliant achievement for the entire team and they hope to raise lots more money for lots of worthy causes in the future.
