The MM Group; PESTLE and SWOT Analysis

due to the number of companies that have been moving call centres to India due to the lower overall running costs. Compmaoes such as Dell and Powergen are two examples.  However, there are still many companies offering call centre services closer to home, for example the MM Group, established more than 50 years ago, offers quality call centre  services and counts the National Blood Service and Sainsburys among their clients.

They offer services that are available twenty four hours a day and are able to accept incoming calls or make  telemarketing calls (MM Group, 2004). Along with this there are also a range of complimentary services, such as database management which includes database cleaning, personalisation and analysis and profiling, printing  and mailing services, internet and e-commerce solutions, the provision of customer surveys using their own programme called Option 8, and list broking (MM Group, 2004).
