02.02.2012
Call 11890 has announced that it will be offering its directory enquiries service free to all eircom landline callers.
“There are so many aspects of life in Ireland we no longer control,"said the company’s managing director, Nicola Byrne. "The decision to use directory enquiries is one we can and with an average 700,000 calls made to directory enquiry services every week, we are urging the Irish public to use their heads and protect their pockets by choosing 11890."
Call 11890 Ltd operates call centres in Dublin and Galway employs 60 staff.
Byrne said the company will probably need to recruit additional employees based on the success of the free campaign and increased call volumes.
“Job creation for us is a simple numbers game,” she said. “If the Irish public avail of the free service they will not only save money they will directly create employment in an Irish owned and operated company. Think 'buy Irish' but without the cost.
She said she hopes this initiative will inspire other Irish companies and management teams to “look beyond the supposed complexities of job creation and find simple direct solutions such as the free campaign that will hopefully provide employment and help increase confidence amongst the Irish public.
"I believe it is important to do something positive and I urge other business people or businesses to follow suit and hope that the Irish people will support all those who are trying to get things moving forward in Ireland," she said.
