Confero: FCA-regulated customer service
Confero runs outsourced customer service across inbound, outbound and digital channels, including call handling, customer support, specialist campaigns and dedicated project teams. The company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Clients include the EV charging company Pod Point. For KPMG it set up a crisis helpline after a major UK retailer went into administration, putting 40 agents in place over one weekend and handling 65,000 calls in the first two days.
A buy-and-build in outsourcing
Confero follows CC33, FM Outsource, AnsaCom and TCH in Isher’s current programme. Isher plans to combine Confero’s specialist service with group technology, infrastructure and operating capacity. Director David Freedman, who stays on, said the deal gives the company the resources for its next stage while keeping close client relationships.
