IT Reseller Selected as Comic Relief Call Centre

March 3, 2009 - PRLog -- Volunteers from Misco, the e-tailor of technology and electrical products based in Northants are donating their services on the evening of Friday 13th March to help staff the official donation line for Red Nose Day ’09!

The 120 strong team will be taking calls throughout the live TV extravaganza on BBC One, which will be hosted by some of the biggest names in TV, including Davina McCall and David Tennant.

Over £67 million was raised for Red Nose Day ‘07, and this year Misco hopes to help Comic Relief go even bigger when Red Nose Day hits screens across the country on March 13th.  

‘We are delighted to once again be involved in this event. In July 2004,  Misco acted as a call centre for Sport Relief taking in a staggering £172,000  in donations, the second largest amount of donations out of the 54 call centres that participated throughout the country,’ commented Sandy Price, UK General Manager.

On the support from call centres, Jan Brown, Comic Relief’s Campaign Logistics Officer, said:

‘Misco is one of a team of call centres helping us to manage these all important calls, and we’d like to say a massive thank you to all the staff that has given up their Friday night to be a part of it. Thanks to our brilliant volunteers and BT, Red Nose Day call centres will form a virtual network of a staggering 12,000 lines, which will really help us raise our total and change lives. “

The seven-hour TV bonanza will be on Red Nose Day, March 13, BBC One, from 7pm.
