Bord Gais Energy, supported by Conduit, entered the Irish Electricity Market in February of 2009 with an intensive Marketing Campaign called ‘The Big Switch’. A discount of up to 14% from the existing primary supplier was available. Over 100,000 customers switched to this new service in the first 40 days. This was considerably more than expected but Conduit activated its ‘fast mobilisation’ plan and at the peak of the campaign had 120 Call Centre Agents working 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Bord Gais, and their new customers, were delighted by our ability and willingness to meet their requirements without comprimising on the quality of the service delivery.

In these times of recession, the Bord Gais Electricity service, supported by Conduit, has been deemed as one of the best new services to be introduced in the Irish Market in recent times.

With a new advertising campaign launching over the summer we can expect our success to continue well into this year with the focus on getting as many people as possible to MAKE THE BIG SWITCH!

O2 launched their Fixed Voice and Broadband SME service offering in October 2008. Conduit provided the Customer Care team to service all elements of the campaign including the TPV (Third Party Verification) solution. We also provided the technical support for any faults experienced in the fixed line transfer.

Due to the success of the campaign, Conduit has built a strong relationship with the O2 business team and continue to support the planned expansion in this area.

We have also worked with O2 for a number of their outbound Sales campaigns.
