July 2012: Recycled PDAs Support Charities

July 2012: Bristow & Sutor has donated all proceeds from a recent recycling initiative to two charitable causes - Marie Curie Cancer Care and the NSPCC.

Committed to re-using or recycling waste where possible, old handheld devices (PDAs) used by bailiffs in the field have been recycled as part of our environmental initiatives and corporate social responsibility.

Every little helps and we are certain that the contributions will support the visions providing high quality cancer care and changing the lives of children in the UK.

To ensure total data security, all information on the device was destroyed and the SIM card destroyed in accordance with IT security protocols.

Devices were recycled through an organisation called EMC LTD (Environmental Mobile Control Ltd), who work in line with European WEEE recycling standards (Waste Electrical and Equipment).

May 2012: Bristow & Sutor Launch New Website!

May 2012: Bristow & Sutor is pleased to announce the launch of its new website.

The website is designed into two sections; company information and my account. Company information provides information that is of more interest to our existing and potential client base such as news, events and service offerings, whilst the ‘my account’ section targets Account Holders and provides the ability to make payments, access accounts, make arrangements, access frequently asked questions and contact the company using a secure portal.

As part of the strategy, the company wanted to create both a professional and new look that was simple, streamlined, easy to use and directed users to the correct part of the site.

The benefits of the new website are:

It has improved navigation.
It is visually more stimulating.

Justine Wykerd, Marketing Manager commented, “we are all excited about the launch of the new website and debtor portal. In today’s culture, people expect to be able to access their accounts online. This new site has enhanced debtor accessibility and the user experience.”
