UK-based Cellhire has opened a new office in the Basel area – its first in Switzerland – to capitalise on the expanding Swiss market and build a platform to grow its large corporate, NGO and sports customer base.
Cellhire has a global footprint coupled with an unrivalled network portfolio which, in the context of the mobile telecommunications market, is unique. This helps Cellhire win worldwide business and differentiates it from other telecommunications companies, large and small.
Within the telecommunications industry Cellhire is famous for its ability to service many large international events including Olympic Games, FIFA World Cup, Cannes Film Festival and Tour de France, working with top-tier sponsors, print and broadcast media and sporting federations among others. Apart from events, Cellhire has a well-established base of corporate customers and also supplies the consumer travel and education markets.
Florence Lebranchu, Business Development Director, DACH Region at Cellhire, said: “Our new office in Switzerland is a fantastic opportunity for Cellhire to break into the strong NGO and sports market in Switzerland and build on the success achieved at the Rio Olympics in which Cellhire supplied 22,000 connections, including telecoms for 15 of the major Olympic teams.”
Cellhire has already secured major clients for voice and data connections in Switzerland, with some customers also choosing to partner with its sister company Vismo, to track and protect their staff operating overseas in high risk areas.
