John Pett (pictured), Managing Director of Chess Partner, said: “We are delighted to be able to add Vodafone to our distribution portfolio and we know from regular feedback that adding the option to connect Vodafone via our industry recognised support team will ensure an increase in what can be offered to the end user. Chess are focussed on growth and along with our recent IoT launch, Cloud PBX offering, wholesale and our own billing platform ebiilz, we have a product set that will give us the foundation to continue to lead the UK distribution market place.”
Oliver Lofthouse, Head of Vodafone Partner Services in the South said “Vodafone is delighted to welcome Chess Partner to the Vodafone Partner Services channel. This new distribution relationship gives Vodafone and Chess a fantastic opportunity to win new customers and build market share across the Vodafone product portfolio.”
To support Partners with the introduction of Vodafone’s range of products, Chess will be hosting a series of webinars to ensure they are equipped with all the necessary tools to hit the ground running. Chess will also offer co-branded materials and a range of promotions to run parallel to Vodafone’s.
