Case Study: Accrington and Rossendale College achieves 42% cost savings and improved mobile communications with Daisy Group

Accrington and Rossendale College - Customer Case Study

Accrington & Rossendale College, which provides further and higher education across Hyndburn, Rossendale and the Ribble Valley, faced an expensive, inflexible mobile contract on the Orange network that used a shared business plan with uneven call/data allocation, excess handsets and no easy billing or portal access. The college engaged Daisy to secure a competitively priced mobile solution with 4G service, an online portal and a clearer billing platform.

Daisy deployed 48 mobiles (a mix of standard Nokia devices and iPhones) on the Vodafone network with SIMs pre‑installed and local account support, plus usage alerts to prevent bill shocks. As a result of Daisy’s package and handset reduction, the college cut mobile bills by 42%, eliminated billing surprises with real‑time warnings, reported trouble‑free service and redirected savings into student learning resources.
