"...We found that Timico's focus on the customer and in delivering a high quality service matched our own - anyone can go out and buy business but we pride ourselves on our ability to retain business.
Being a Timico Business Partner will have a real impact on our bottom line. Customers become 'stickier' the more products they buy from you. I'd rather have four revenue streams from one customer and be able to provide that customer with excellent service than to go out and find four new customers..."

A business number, or non-geographic number, is a telephone number with a specific prefix e.g. 0800, 0845, 0870. There are no connection charges, no monthly rental and no cancellation fees with these numbers.

Business numbers are quick and easy to implement within a few working days. Existing business numbers can be ported to us from most carriers, which offers businesses a number of advantages including:
- Gives you a national presence as you no longer publish a standard geographic telephone number with area code.
- A business number is yours for life provided it remains in use, so there will be no need for numbers to be re-communicated when national number codes change or when your business moves premises.
- The ability for you to pay for your customers to be able to call you free of charge or conversely, for them to earn income from an incoming call where appropriate.
- In the event of a disaster recovery situation calls can be quickly re-routed to another location.
