Batelco Welcomes VIP Guests

Batelco’s senior executives expressed their delight at meeting a number of Batelco’s key business customers at Batelco’s BIC Corporate Lounge on the final day of the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix 2010.

Batelco’s Group Chief Executive Peter Kaliaropoulos, Chief Executive Bahrain Gert Rieder, Consumer Division GM Muna Al Hashemi and Enterprise & Government Division GM Dr. Abdulla Al Thawadi, were in attendance to welcome a number of VIP guests and major business customers.

Batelco is an Official Partner of the BIC and additionally the circuit’s Official Telecommunications partner. Both organisations signed a new contract last week that will see the successful Batelco – BIC partnership continue for the next three years.

Mr. Rieder said that he welcomed the opportunity to meet with Batelco’s major business customers in such a superb setting as the BIC on Grand Prix day and listen to their comments about Batelco and the services provided for them.

“We are fully committed to the role we play in supporting business in Bahrain. We offer a comprehensive menu of communications options delivered over our Next Generation, all IP fixed and 3.5G wireless networks. We also offer businesses the flexibility to have their telecoms services customised to meet their particular requirements,” said Mr. Rieder.

“Furthermore, all of our business customers have access to a designated account manager whose role is to address all requests for provisioning of new or upgraded services and to tend to any issues that may arise. This is a value added service that sets us apart from the competition and is very much appreciated by the customer,” he said.

Dr. Al Thawadi elaborated by saying that Batelco is providing the best services from its Business Point located at Batelco’s Hamala HQ.

“The Business unit consists of 260 employees dedicated to serving the enterprise and government customers,” he said.

Through its ongoing investment in Bahrain’s telecommunications infrastructure, Batelco is fully supportive of the Kingdom’s 2030 vision to grow and diversify the economy.

“Looking forward, we will strive to keep businesses in Bahrain in the forefront amongst their regional competitors. By ensuring that businesses in Bahrain have the relevant communications tools to succeed, the Company is playing an important role in attracting further international investment to our shores,” Mr. Rieder concluded.
