Having experienced fourfold growth between Q1 2011 and 2012, the Company is creating a real success story with its world-leading contact centre service. MMC focuses on backing businesses that can succeed on a global scale and we think that NewVoiceMedia fits this criteria very well”.

Talking about their business Jonathan Gale, CEO of NewVoiceMedia, said: “The contact centre market has lacked innovation from traditional on-premise vendors for many years.
