Claire Fogg
Title: Business Development Manager
Email: claire.fogg@crowntelecom.co.uk
I joined Crown Telecom in May 2011. I build up relationships with new business customers as well as the Crown Oil customer base to introduce Crown Telecom. We look at the costs from their current phone provider and see if we can cut the costs saving you money. At Crown you get an account manager, excellent service and can talk to someone you can trust without the added hassle of waiting in a queue for 30 minutes.
