She has begun her intense training by tucking into a packet of chocolate chip cookies! However intends to pack in lots of training between now and the 5k race in a few weeks.

Cancer Research is a great cause and a charity we love to support  here at Amelix and it would be great if you could sponsor Chloe for the run. It is a sad fact that everyone at somepoint in thier life will know someone who looses thier life to Cancer and every penny raised will go to help fighting the horrible disease.

To sponsor Chloe  please go to the JustGiving page link below: http://www.justgiving.com/AmelixChloe

Many thanks and we will keep you updated!

Oh Chloe is new to twitter so why not follow her now @chloeamelix – and find out how the training is going!

Amelix founding Director Louis Hurst said “We are delighted to support Rostmond FC in all the work they do, not only are they doing well in the local leagues they also do a lot of outreach work with many young people some from disadvantaged backgrounds  across Dartmoor and Devon. I am delighted that Amelix will now be associated with all the good work they do in the communities they serve”

Amelix will be supplying all the teams from the 1st X1 to the Under 7′s with new home and away kits in time for the start of next season as well as working with the club on some new youth initiatives with Amelix Telecoms sister company Amelix Youth Engagement.

Andy Sherman from Rostmond FC said “We are overwhelmed that Amelix is going to continue the support that Malcolm and Sandra and all of DevoCall have given us over the past few years and look forward to wearing purple on our shirts next season.”

Amelix is committed to helping the communities in which it operates you can find out more about our policy on sponsorship by clicking here.

DevoCall currently based in Torquay, Devon was established in 2008 by husband and wife team Sandra and Malcolm Grange with a clear purpose to provide the local businesses community a “No Frills” telecoms service that focused on customer service. It also offers schools and colleges bespoke communication packages.

Malcolm, who has decided to take semi-retirement commented “Selling DevoCall was one of the toughest things Sandra and I have ever had to do, we were determined to sell it to a company that cared as much about its customers as we do about ours. I genuinely feel that Amelix will be able to offer the same if not better standard of care we have always prided ourselves on”

Louis Hurst, Group Director at Amelix said, “I have spent a lot of time over the last few weeks getting to know Sandra and Malcolm and admire their passion for their business and their dedication to their customers who they have served so well for many years. I am delighted they feel Amelix is the best company to take forward those relationships in the future and I know our team are looking forward to serving them going forward”

Amelix will take full ownership of the company later in the year and will be working with Sandra and Malcolm on the best way of migrating Devocall’s current clients onto the Amelix billing platform. All customers will be offered Amelix services moving forward.

Louis Hurst added “We are going to be working very hard to make sure there is no disruption to DevoCall’s current clients during the handover period. Devocall customers should automatically see a reduction of about 12% on their phone bills when they have migrated to Amelix as our standard tariff rates are a lot lower than those currently in place, we hope this price reduction will help make the transition more pleasant for the majority of Devocall’s customers.”

If you’re a DevoCall customer and have any questions about the transition you will be receiving a more detailed letter or email over the next few days. If you have any other questions you can email devocall@amelix.co.uk or call the Amelix Telecom customer service team on 0844 801 99 55.

In theory this system will enable our communication and workflow to run more effectively across the company. However; as with any new systems we are anticipating some teething problems whilst it is setup and configured properly as well as training our people how to get the most out of the software.

The roll out is coming in four phases with phase one well underway. We will let you know how it goes with regular updates on our blog, but in the meantime if you speak to your contact at Amelix and they sound a little stressed it is probably down to the new system and if we miss something we apologise now.

It is hoped all staff accross the Amelix Group will be using the new software by the end of June 2012.

For more information on the system please do not hesitate to pick up the phone and call us on 0844 801 99 66 or email hello@amelix.co.uk.
