About the company

East Northamptonshire Council (ENC)*, is one of the fastest growing districts in the country – with rural parishes and six towns. Rushden is the largest, with a population of approximately 29,000, and other main centres Higham Ferrers, Irthlingborough, and Thrapston, all ranging in size from 6,000 – 9,000 residents.

(*East Northamptonshire Council is now known as North Northamptonshire Council post a merge in April 2021).

The challenge

ENC’s current service offers continuous support, 24 hours a day, should their customers need assistance with any type of emergency. The contracted service runs from 5pm to 8.45am and needed to mirror the high levels of service already provided during normal office hours.

The solution and results

Appello tailored internal operator training to meet these varying scenarios and established ongoing reviews to monitor call quality.

Appello worked closely with ENC prior to contract commencement to understand the wide range of calls they would receive, such as reports of anti-social behaviour, domestic violence, flooding, and noise disturbances. The partnership has now been in place for over 12 years, with Appello continuing to provide a tailored, high-quality service to ENC’s 85,000 residents.

“Our strong relationship with Appello has continued to grow due to the frequency and ease of communications. Appello have listened to the needs of the council and been supportive in providing a tailored service that meets the needs of our 85,000 residents.”
