At Your Co-op Mobile we're delighted to announce this partnership with the launch of three emporia's hero handsets. emporia specialise in designing mobile phones for people whose main priority is ease of use, without complex navigation or menus, and have the ability to connect to others through easy to access multimedia applications accompanied by detailed step-by-step training guides.
Lizzie Hieron, Chief Operating Officer at Your Co-op Mobile comments: “We’re the UK’s only co-operative telecoms supplier and an established MVNO. As part of the Midcounties Co-operative we’re committed to working ethically, treating our people fairly, and caring for our customers and our communities.
“Working with emporia means we have now positively expanded our product portfolio to bring on three new devices that are easy-to-use and enriching for customers that need simple communication.
“Supporting older people in our local communities has never been so crucial with many people feeling isolated or lonely following months of shielding because of Covid-19 and we hope that our new partnership with emporia will be a great help in keeping families and communities connected during these difficult times where face-to-face visits are unfortunately restricted”.
Chris Millington, UK and Ireland MD of emporia comments: “This partnership is another recognisable milestone for emporia. Our strategy for the UK and Irish markets was to reach the wide audience group in many familiar ways that mirror our different consumers’ habits and platforms. To have such a credible organisation like Your Co-op Mobile retail our devices is another success since our European expansion and launching here at the start of 2020.”
“We’re especially delighted about working with Your Co-op Mobile even more so because of its trusted membership model and growing reach in terms of customers and geographical locations. This partnership will see some of our devices available to their members and customers; of which we share a similar older demographic. A huge focus in the interface of our devices is around use ability and independence; enabling our users to learn at their own pace with handset training books and to have a phone that meets their needs. We hope this partnership will enable more retirees to access our devices and technology,” Chris adds.
