So bad, you have to laugh…
My business phone line was down for an entire month. Not a day. Not a week. A full month. Impressive, really.
Naturally, I then received the invoice… in full. Apparently, the idea of a phone line is chargeable now.
I left a Trustpilot review and was told to call Emily to discuss. I did. Emily was busy and promised a call back. I’m still waiting—perhaps it’s coming via carrier pigeon.
I then submitted a formal complaint, checked they had received it (they had), and was told I’d get a response within 10 days.
That was optimistic.
No reply. No follow-up. Nothing.
If you’re looking for a company that charges you for services they don’t provide and then disappears when you ask about it… look no further.
Otherwise, I’d strongly suggest staying well away.

Adam Hamilton was very informative in the training session we had regarding our new Cloud upgrade. Being quite a small business, we won't have the need to use it to capacity, but what we will use, Adams insight was very useful. Thank you.

Adam Hamilton ran a really clear and useful session that was easy to follow and relevant to how we’ll actually use the system.
He answered questions as we went and made sure I was confident with the key features by the end.

Jamie Bonner has been super helpful with regards to our office move. He has gone above and beyond to help make sure we have the correct broadband set up for our new office. He has been very patient with me, especially considering I am not technically minded. He explained everything clearly and I am confident that we have been given the best broadband option we could have.

I signed up for internet and phone services over 8 weeks ago, and the installation is still not complete.
At the time of signing, I was assured everything would be up and running within 10 days, especially as I signed with a manager present. That promise has been completely missed.
Since then, the experience has been extremely frustrating:
- The first installation appointment was a no-show
- The second was marked as “no one available,” which is simply not true — I am the owner of a café that opens at 8am, and I was there myself from 7am that day
The installation date has now been moved multiple times, and after countless calls, no one seems to know what is going on or take responsibility.
What’s most disappointing is the lack of care from both the sales representative and the so-called project manager, who have shown little urgency or accountability throughout this process.
This delay is not just inconvenient — it is actively affecting my business.
Overall, a very poor experience so far.

We upgraded our telephone system and needed a full tutorial from a member of the team. Robbie Holland was excellent and had the patience of a saint, as this 62 year old dinosaur was asking question after question.

Robbie was exceptional and gave me a detailed overview of the system and clearly had a great knowledge of the product!

Very informative. Thanks to Adam Hamilton for the training session.

Robbie (Holland) was a really good instructor. Taking time to explain everything in a way that even some as terrified of technology as myself could understand. The training was very necessary & very relevant, helping me to understand everything about the system, its administration, functions and its wider capabilities.

Had a training session with Robbie Holland on the new telephone system. If was very informative, Robbie was very professional and knowledgeable and taylored the training to our organisations specific requirements.

We’ve been clients for a long time, although I’m personally quite new to the system. I recently requested a training session to help me get to grips with it, and this was delivered by Robbie Holland. I was genuinely blown away by how knowledgeable, patient, and helpful he was.
Robbie took the time to work through all of my questions, while also correcting and configuring the system exactly how we wanted it. This would have taken me a huge amount of time to figure out on my own with my limited experience, yet Robbie extended the session, implemented the changes himself, and talked me through everything clearly as he went. He also ensured parts of the setup were future‑proofed, which was greatly appreciated.
As a result, when a colleague recently requested a change, I was able to access the system confidently and make the updates quickly myself.
For transparency, we have been reviewing the systems we use across the business. However, following this interaction with Robbie, we feel far more confident and satisfied with the service available to us, knowing we are in such capable and supportive hands.

The 1-1 training I received from Robbie Holland was great. I had a list of questions prepared prior to the teams call and Robbie answered them all. Worth working with the system a few days prior to the training to know what question to ask.

Reply from Focus Group
The online training from Robbie was excellent. Very clear and explained each process at a speed I could understand and follow. He also paused at key points for any questions I had. The training was about 45mins which was perfect, covered everything without dragging on.

Our recent training session with Focus Group, led by Robbie Holland, was highly informative and well-structured. Robbie delivered a clear, step-by-step walkthrough of the system.
The session was paced appropriately, allowing time for questions and clarification where needed. Robbie communicated each stage in a straightforward manner. His approach helped to build confidence in using the platform and ensured that key features and processes were thoroughly covered.
Overall, the training was engaging, professional, and effective. It has provided a solid foundation for us to begin using the system more efficiently, and we feel better equipped moving forward.

Reply from Focus Group
The training which Robbie Holland provided was incredibly helpful and informative, making what could have been a complex transition feel straightforward and well supported. Everything was explained clearly and in a practical way, which meant we were able to quickly get to grips with the system.
Since going live, we’ve been able to navigate the phone system with ease and confidence, with no issues or complications at all. It’s made a real difference to our day-to-day workflow, and the system has been running smoothly from the outset.
Overall, a really positive experience and we feel much more confident using the platform thanks to the quality of the training provided.

Why one star I would not give them that
6 weeks ago they put a digital phone system and internet in our offices from day 1 they have never worked right six weeks later there in the bin waiting for the refuge collection and we’re looking at another company coming in who know what there doing. Phone call after phone call pushed from this person to that person people pretending to be managers but just people on the phones 🤦♂️ employ this company at your peril not interested in you or your lost business. Well they won’t be getting any money from me, bring on the solicitors
