Good Call social enterprise launches in Dundee

credit:

Colin Loveday, founder of Scotland's first dedicated mobile social enterprise, aims to secure better telecommunications services and improve phone services for charities in Dundee.

Colin Loveday, who developed the enterprise following collaboration with outreach service Cyrenians, is also the founder of mobile technology business 4G Scotland and represents Dundee and Angus Chamber of Commerce as a director on the board of the Scottish Chambers of Commerce.

Loveday's work with Cyrenians revealed that, even with good referrals, charities worry about dealing with commercial companies and don't have the resources or knowledge to get the best deals.
