Request a Brochure

12:58pm 26th January 2011 by Rob Smith

We're talking to charities full time at the moment, and have been getting some great feedback and new partners: right, left and centre.

We always send potential partners a copy of our glossy brochure, but if you're an environmentally friendly type (as we are) then you might prefer to receive an electronic version, and only print the bits you need.

For the first time, we've made our brochure fully available online. Just pick the topics you're interested in and off you go. You can also request information by mail, just stick your address in the form and we'll pop one in the post.

In scarier news, the Choose a Challenge team (Nick, James, James, Andy and I) are running Tough Guy this weekend. Wish us luck!

Give us a call

3:05am 18th January 2011 by Nick Ellison

Bit of a late one tonight...

Due to increased call volumes, we've made some changes to the Choose a Challenge telephone system. Previously (with one main incoming line) callers were immediately directed to voicemail when the operator was busy - our shiny new PBX system directs you to the person you need straight away, only sending you to voicemail if absolutely necessary. There are some fancy “queues”, “parking lots” and “IVRs” (fun telecoms vocabulary) - all designed to increase efficiency and reduce waiting time.

This upgrade covers the full scope of the Smith Ellison companies, so there may be some teething problems whilst we make the final upgrades. We appreciate your patience in the meanwhile!

Our number remains unchanged - 020 3137 2851 - why not call us to find out what happens?

Happy New Year and VAT

7:26pm 4th January 2011 by Nick Ellison

Well the 4th of January is upon us, and as most of you well know VAT has just risen to the 20% rate. The highest ever in the UK, putting us on a par with much of Europe. Fuel prices, food and all the rest are going up.

The good news is: our prices aren't budging because of it. You still get the same old Choose a Challenge low rates, with our price guarantee. We're still the cheapest in the UK and loving it.
