To the rescue

June 22, 2009 Big Yellow Workshop

It’s little known that Cellhire provides emergency equipment as a preventative measure and in many rescue efforts.

Our satellite phones, BlackBerry’s®, data cards and 2-Way radios have seen first hand, up close and personal, natural disaster areas. We are proud to be part of the communication tools for those men and women providing aid to those who need it.

From the high adventures of various youth organizations to the disaster and rescue teams of the American Red Cross to the Missionaries who build schools to the vacationing safari folks, our solutions will allow any individual or team to call for help and to keep in touch with family while in areas where standard communications are not possible.

Strong orders for Twenty20 World Cup

June 19, 2009 Big Yellow Workshop

The international battle currently being waged on the cricket grounds of England has helped drive our connections for June.

Overall orders to date exceed 300 connections, with players, umpires, security staff and officials taking handsets, UK SIMs and a healthy number of mobile broadband solutions.

The tournament has already generated a surprise or two, but one thing our customers can be sure of is great connectivity, reduced call charges and flexible rental terms.

“Twenty20 has really taken off. It’s another great sporting event being held in England and as such we’re delighted to provide UK airtime to a wide range of clients associated with the finals.” Commented Chris Power, Senior Business Development Executive at Cellhire.

A Man to Mauritius

June 2, 2009 Big Yellow Workshop

Cellhire has supplied the technology to help Simon Prior undertake a once in a life time adventure.

Simon has chosen to compete in one of the world’s toughest rowing marathons, from Australia to Mauritius, in the first ever Indian Ocean Rowing Race. And we’ve provided Simon with a satellite handset to help him keep in contact with dry land as well as update his daily blog.

Given that more people have walked on the surface of the moon than have rowed the Indian Ocean, this is certainly a challenge of the extreme variety. There is however a very good cause – The Willow Foundation – set to benefit from Simon’s endeavors and you can make a pledge to his cause as well as monitor his grueling progress on his website.

Best of luck from everyone at Cellhire!
