Challenger Mobile
Communications is targeting a £2 million increase in turnover in the
next three years. This will be partly driven by a brand relaunch this
month.
The Flintshire-based
dealer and O2 Direct Partner is chasing an increase in turnover from
£8 million last year to £10 million by January 2022, says managing
director and co-founder Jeff Eamens.
Mobiles constitute
about 60 per cent of the company’s current overall turnover,
alongside hosted products, vehicle tracking, lone worker protection,
voice telephony and other data products.
Eamens bought out
fellow Challenger co-founder Wayne Skellon earlier in April.
“The buyout was
prompted by Wayne wanting to retire, so we took it as an opportunity
to future- proof the business and ensure we were offering out
customers exactly what they needed,” said Eamens.
The buyout was
supported by funding of £1.4 million from the Development Bank of
Wales.
The brand relaunch will
include a new version of Challenger’s website, but does not include
concrete plans for the company to use 5G services.
“Although it is too early to know what 5G has to offer, the probability is that it will surpass the 4G revolution,” said Eamens.
“Our team stays up to date with all the latest information to ensure we are ready to provide any new services to our customers.”
