Achievements

‘Resourcing is a core part of our offering. It is a great way to start a relationship with a new client, listen to what they need and build trust.’Phil Howarth, CEO, Sales

  • Bluefish provided a major British bank with a 25 strong team of specialists to roll out its new networks in sub-saharan Africa. The programme involved moving from satellite communications to a more cost effective IP system. This allowed the bank to use new technology, provide applications to its local customers and, as a result, increase financial services product sales.
  •  

  • When the head of project management for a major multinational vendor resigned, Bluefish was able to provide an interim replacement who helped the client to recruit the right person for the longer term, trained and mentored them before successfully handing over responsibility.
  •  

  • A leading financial institution had outsourced its network and was running into contractual difficulties and penalties. Bluefish sent a team of 23 specialists for 6 months to London, New York, Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong, and, within 2 weeks, customer satisfaction had radically improved. During the engagement, Bluefish helped recruit the permanent team and provided training for them.
