£5.6 million! In 2007 NTT raised £5.6 million for our charity partners

08 July 2010

The Institute of Fundraising award ceremony was held in London this last Monday and boy what a night to remember. NTT was up for best donor development award in conjunction with the Brooke for a fantastic deeply lapsed campaign that way surpassed all our expectations. We narrowly lost to a really innovative campaign from ActionAid. A great time was had by all, even the food was really tasty!

Thanks for all the hard work from our fundraisers and all the way up to senior management to make this a really great year so far for us and our charity partners.

Bring on the rest of 2010!

We knew that every member of NTT fundraising would make an extra effort in their role when news of the devastating earthquake in Haiti broke. Our charity partners ActionAid, Care International, World Vision and World Emergency Relief responded to the disaster immediately, and we in turn restructured our campaigns to both raise immediate funds and to generate long term support.

Our fundraisers also wanted to raise funds themselves in the office, and test their pitch and negotiation skills on their colleagues and managers, with all donations going to the DEC. They did us all proud by  organising a huge raffle and a thrilling, adrenaline pumping cake auction. Its great to want to help. Its great to eat cake. Its great that eating cake can help!

I am delighted to inform you that we have recently moved into bigger and better offices. It was definitely time to move on as 'homely' and 'lived in' were kind words to describe our previous surroundings.

 

The main reason behind this was to have a larger calling floor with increased capacity for both inbound and outbound campaigns. It also allows us to provide far greater technical support whilst increasing our ability to design and implement new media strategies.

 

We can now be found at the following address:

 

2nd Floor

The Pithay

All Saints Street

Bristol

BS1 2NB

 

It's just around the corner from our previous offices so still right in the centre of Bristol.

We are incredibly proud of the fact that we have been recently awarded the ‘People Development Award’ for Southwest Contact Centres. The event was held on the 18th June 2009 and we beat strong competition which was dominated by commercial organisations.


The award was testament to the hard work that we have carried out over the past twelve months in revolutionising our approach to quality. This involved restructuring our coaching process and the roles within it and refining our training procedures to enable us to offer the high standard of service that you require.


Jez O’Neill, Operations Director at NTT Fundraising says “We are proud of our achievements in the past 12 months. We’re a young, dynamic and creative team with our people at the heart of every decision we make”.

NTT celebrated our 20th Birthday on 17th March 2008.  This has been a fantastic milestone and highlights our vast experience in telephone fundraising.  Originally starting as part of ActionAid, the overseas development charity, NTT has developed and expanded to become one of the country's leading telephone fundraising agencies.

The next decade is going to see further developments in new media and viral communications, and integrated bespoke campaigns.  This is a clear and exciting vision for the future.

In July 2007 NTT appointed a new Managing Director, David Clark.  It was a busy year for Dave as his first baby was born just before he started, but luckily his lack of sleep did not affect his ability to fit in brilliantly with the team. 

Dave is looking to move NTT into an exciting new phase, with his focus on areas such as data security and maximising the analysis and reporting for clients.

Alongside Dave, Natalie Bailey is heading up the Client Services team and Jez O'Neill is the Operations Manager.  They will be maintaining NTT's culture, values and ethics, but also looking to continually improve quality and results.

New products and approaches are being introduced at NTT, with integrated telephone and new media campaigns to give clients a new service.
