October 4, 2004 -- Kingston Communications has appointed Suzette Bouzane-Meadows as head of Contact Centre Solutions. Bouzane-Meadows will lead a new team created to build on existing strengths and determine and execute Kingstons contact centre product strategy.

The new Contact Centre Solutions team within Kingstons Business Services unit presents a single, customer-focused team offering full support from cost effective, manageable voice calls through to building state of the art contact centres and everything in between.     It combines product management and sales specialists with technical development expertise.

Along with Kingston Communications Contact Centres Ltd, (formerly Kingston InContact) which delivers recruitment, training, advisory and outsourcing services, Kingston now offers an unrivalled portfolio of support for contact centres.

Kingston is well-established within the contact centre arena, boasting high profile customers including Dixon Motors and Admiral Insurance, said Bouzane-Meadows.
