Clogau: Broadband

by Amy Helliwell

Clogau is a jewellery manufacturer and wholesaler. Established 30 years ago in Wales, the second-generation family business has grown into stores across the UK. The designs have evolved from their Royal heritage and transition into more fashion-led pieces. Each item remains influenced by Celtic design and contains Welsh Gold.  In recent years, the company has expanded into stores along with its website and mail orders.

The Challenge

Clogau was experiencing issues with the level of customer service they received from their previous broadband provider. For Clogau, this meant that they were unable to contact support when experiencing technical issues.

“I couldn’t pick up the phone and speak to someone. The experience brought lots of unnecessary hassle trying to resolve technical problems.”  When they were able to get through on a call, there was an inclination that the support was lacking knowledge of Clogau’s account. Day-to-day this meant that Clogau had trouble within their retail stores. If the broadband was down, stores had a real issue with trading as they required an internet connection to use PDQ machines. The previous service was unreliable.

The Goals

Clogau wanted a reliable broadband provider who could install and improve the existing broadband lines.

“I wanted to be able to speak to someone if I had problems with the service or connectivity. I wanted to feel like someone was at the end of the phone who knew about our account and could fix problems before they escalated further.”

The Solution

After assessing the state of Clogau’s broadband and previous provider, it was clear that Clogau required a new provider who could supply a reliable and robust connection along with the enhanced customer service they deserved. “One of our retail stores had out of date Openreach data, and records showed that the installed lines were incorrect. UK IT Networks liaised with Openreach on our behalf and fixed the lines without our involvement.”

The Impact

The resolution that UK IT Networks provided has resulted in Clogau receiving an improved experience as a broadband customer and a more robust broadband connection.

“UK IT Networks fixed all the problems I had with our previous provider and we have had no problems with them since. This means that I do not have to get involved and the store can do what they do best.
Throughout the pandemic, we continued expanding and opening new stores. As UK IT Networks was operating, as usual, they were able to assist us in going ahead with our plans. I would highly recommend UK IT Networks, they cut out all the hassle we experienced from a larger corporation.”
