Small Business Saturday is a non-commercial UK campaign which takes place on the first Saturday in December every year. The aim of the campaign is to encourage consumers to ‘shop local’ and to support those small businesses in their local community.

Being a small local business ourselves, we would like to reflect on what it means to support us as a local business and how you can make a difference.

One key benefit that comes with choosing us as your local broadband provider, is that the money generated is used towards the further development of our network and infrastructure within other neighbouring local communities. This further supports those who are wanting faster and more reliable internet speeds in rural areas, for both home and business owners.

As a local business we are committed to building a stronger relationship with our local community. That’s why we have worked throughout so many of our local areas already on community-based projects to ensure that these small communities are gaining the quality of service they deserve and not being left behind. As a result, it has allowed us to bring communities closer together and further progress our existing relationships.

Another benefit which comes from choosing us as your local provider is the level of customer service we provide. Here at Beacons Telecom, we are committed to providing a top-quality service when it comes to our customer care. With these bigger providers, do you really want to be waiting days before any repairs or issues have been dealt with? Or being stuck in endless telephone queues to then get connected with someone over the other side of the world? Here at Beacons Telecom, we understand the importance of being efficient when it comes to dealing with our customers no matter how big or small the enquiry may be!

Rather than being based in a far-distant office hundreds of miles away from your local area, we are only based at The Pavilion on the beautiful grounds of Glanusk Estate, Crickhowell. This means that our staff and engineers are regularly out in the local communities engaging with our customers, various individuals and businesses first-hand. In turn, this allows us to connect more with how you might be feeling by providing answers to any questions or queries you may have.

We are more than happy and prepared to listen to every one of our customers’ needs and wants, allowing the experience received to be of distinct value.

The strengthening of the local economy within communities is another important factor. Being a small internet service provider, our internet speeds are far faster and more reliable than the other much bigger providers. Alongside our fast internet speeds, you can gain much more value for your money. We understand the importance of saving money and that’s why our affordable prices were created with our customers in mind!
