It's the personal touch that gets my vote everytime

As a company we've been with Blackstar for many years. We have always had exemplary service from Nick right back in the beginning, through to Dylan and Chloe more recently. They are always responsive and happy to help. I feel they always listen to our requirements and get us the best deals on mobile phones. 5* would recommend. Thank you!

Origin Workspace and Blackstar continue their strong working relationship

Origin Workspace has been working with Blackstar Solutions for over 4 years. During this time the service we have received has been outstanding. Given the fact that we do not have an in-house team providing such support, it is critical that the members within our co-working space experience a seamless communication process when dealing with Blackstar. This is achieved each and every time to the extent that the team at Blackstar are seen as a natural extension of our own.
The COVID-19 pandemic gave suppliers the chance to prove their flexibility and adaptability as well as empathy, a test that Blackstar passed with flying colours. Origin is proud to have Blackstar as a supplier and and part of our outsourced team. We look forward to a continued successful relationship.

Small Business telecoms support

Despite the fact that I am very far from being Blackstar’s ideal customer, as my business is still relatively small, I have always been treated as a valued client at every contact.

Blackstar have provided me with a local telephone number which diverts to my mobile, enabling me to create some separation between my clinic work and my home life.

Nick’s employees are very knowledgeable and helpful, and made the set up process incredibly easy. The only thing I had to do was choose a number. They are also easy to contact, should there be any issues, not that I have had any problems.

I think it says a lot about Nick and Blackstar, that they treat me as well as their much larger clients, and for that reason it will be easy to introduce them to my high value clients should the opportunity arise.

Whilst trying to work out how we could possibly manage our business, against the back drop of the beginning of a pandemic, Blackstar stepped up and provided us with the means and know how. There proficient manner in which we were provided with 24hr phone cover from home was amazing. This allowed us to keep our workforce safe whilst delivering the required level of service to our clients. Thanks very much.

5 gold stars for Blackstar! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recently approached Blackstar about my business mobile phone contracts and the experience has been 5 star, from start to finish!

After my initial enquiry I was assigned a dedicated contact who asked me the relevant questions to find the best network and available plans for my needs. This included ensuring my 3rd party answerphone and transcripting service was compatible. I selected a plan that not only provided the business with more mobile data but at a lower cost too!

Every step of the way my contact Chloe, was available to answer any question I raised. She contacted me to communicate when to expect the SIM cards and was again there on the day of the port, to assist with any issues. Thanks to the teams thorough approach everything went smoothly and I have to say the whole process was completely seemless.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Blackstar Solutions to fellow business owners, their professionalism and communication really is second-to-none.

Blackstar Solutions... professional and reliable

Blackstar Solutions have been providing an excellent service for nearly a year now, and I cannot fault their professionalism, expertise and enthusiasm to provide the best service possible. From the initial discovery process, they helped us identify our requirements, without bias, provided a seamless implementation, and have been excellent in after sales support with all the requests we've made. Big thanks to Nick, Elliot, Owen, and especially Simon and Jemma, who have gone above and beyond with assisting us!

Exceptional service

We moved our telephone and broadband to Blackstar recently. The process of switching over was made very simple and easy for us and despite being a smaller client of theirs, the service we receive from the team is impeccable. The support team really went above and beyond to recently rectify an external issue quickly for us to ensure minimal interruption to our business. I'm confident we wouldn't have received this same service from our previous supplier and would recommend Blackstar with confidence.

Superb customer service, with extremely tight timescales!

Blackstar Solutions delivered our new phone system. We migrated away from ageing, deprecated internal phone system to Microsoft Teams with Phone System.

The Blackstar team were professional and punctual throughout. Excellent communication from their engineers, who knew exactly the timescales and issues we were facing. Our timescales were extremely tight, and they bent over backwards to get our numbers ported before we moved into our new office. Would definitely recommend!

Blackstar have managed our mobile phone requirements for a number of years, after a disastrous experience with a competitor. They have been efficient, professional and astute and we are on the best tariffs we could be on, thanks to their expertise. I don't have to worry about this aspect of my business - they do that for me!

Blackstar are a breath of fresh air compared to the previous supplier of our telephone systems. Despite us (I am sure) being one of their smallest clients the level of service we recieve is second to none and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Keep up the good work!

On behalf of Two Rivers Housing

On behalf of Two Rivers Housing – and our call recording supplier, I would like to say a ‘huge’ thank you to all of the guys at Blackstar support, but in particular Steve O’Shea for helping us out with our call recording upgrade today!

It’s times like this, that we realise we really did make the right decision in acquiring the services of Blackstar for our telephony support.

Many thanks once again.

Blackstar are ace.

The team at Blackstar helped us understand what we need as a growing business in the technology sector and in turn understood our budgets. Their bullet proof solution has saved me endless sleepless nights and days of frustration! To top it all off, Jacob, our support contact, is wonderful, responsive and a good guy.

Blackstar Solution is an amazing company. Whatever I need (even short notice) I know for a fact the team will help me with the best option.

I have worked alongside the company for 4 years and they have been helpful, organised, buying products with a quick turn around, let me know any changes to our mobile network and they always there to help when needed. I will like to say a big thank you to Dylan and Chloe you have been my contact.

I highly recommend blackstar solution to any company.

First class service from Blackstar Solutions

First class service and technical support from Blackstar Solutions. We had a particularly complex problem involving our voicemail system recently, and the Blackstar team kept on top of the issue until it was resolved. Great company to work with, and a great support team.

Excellent Service as always!

A real relief and joy to have actual engineers on the end of the phone!

Your expert help meant that diagnosis of a complicated issue was both fast and straightforward.

One of the best operational decisions that I've made since taking on my role as Technical Director at Wessex Internet has been to put our telephone system in the care of Blackstar Solutions.
