Vodafone UK has become the first mobile operator to open a retail store dedicated to small business customers.
The store, in Londons Cheapside, is the result of local small businesses sharing what they want from their mobile operator and builds on the network of dedicated business advisers Vodafone UK has in its customer call centres, 150 of its 400 retail stores nationwide and its online store.
The business store offers support workshops and seminars to help small businesses manage their fixed and mobile communications needs; in-store technical support;  advisers, dedicated to small businesses; live device demos; and an appointment service to suit business schedules.
The store was officially opened yesterday by the former head of the Confederation of British Industries, Lord Digby Jones, who said: 
Small businesses are always looking for an edge and always looking to get that little bit more value for money. Vodafone's move to offer a dedicated service to the local business community will help to ensure that businesses get the most out of their communications needs.
