Addiction Family Support
“While I’ve been thinking about Call Handling, I just wanted to say, overall, how much I’ve appreciated dealing with them.
I like that we have direct email addresses for real people in their accounts/customer services departments.
We can still directly contact with the person who set us up with CHS in the first place.”
“Our contract is only a few pages long – everything is in one place.
I really appreciate that they wait until just after the end of the month before issuing their invoices
No direct debits or demands for credit card details. No charging up front. No billing platforms/dashboards/apps.”
Natalie Archer | ACA Finance and Fundraising Manager / Board Secretary
New Kapporet Christian Helpline
“As a start-up charity in 2020, right in the middle of lockdown, we were looking for a reliable and efficient partner to explain and supply our call handling needs. The Virtual Call Centre, supplied by Call Handling, was the answer to our prayers. Our new listeners (agents) found the system easy and intuitive to master, and the support offered to us by the customer service and technical teams has been exemplary. The system itself is completely reliable. The help provided when we had a question, or an urgent need, has always been timely, understanding and comprehensive. I simply cannot fault the system, service and support which Call Handling has provided. As we have grown from a fledgling to a fully functioning organisation, they have become invaluable partners in helping us to achieve our mission and objectives.”

Stroke Association
Using Call Handling as a platform works really well for our team and for our customers. Lauren and the team are always on hand to deal with queries and to help us problem-solve whether that’s around performance data, customer feedback or delivering our service in a different way. We have recently moved to using Hubbub which has helped us to reduce our costs now that everyone is working remotely. Overall, we’re very happy with the service that Call Handling offers.
