So why Cape Town?
It has been described as “a coastal gem, lying in the shadow of a cloud-hugged mountain” where “wine flows, penguins waddle and – not too far away – majestic beasts roam”
The Mother City offers an excellent lifestyle, world-class infrastructure, ease of doing business, stable government, and an innovative and skilled workforce ready to help your business grow.
SIMILAR WORKING HOURS TO UK
With a maximum of 2 hours time difference during daylight savings the working day is closer to the UK making it easier to manage a healthier work/life balance.
This compares favourable with other global BPO destinations where evening and night working is common place.
NEUTRAL ACCENT UNDERSTOOD BY UK CUSTOMERS
Access to a highly proficient English speaking talent pool, both written and spoken, with an easily understood and more neutral accent than in other South African cities. This neutral accent is a result of the unique blend of cultural diversity that exists in the Mother City.
“Made some test calls to Liberty London and sadly didn’t manage to talk to anyone in Cape Town, but was very impressed with the assumed UK service I received anyhow. I was then informed that all my calls had in fact been answered by the Cape Town team…”
EMPATHY WORKS WELL WITH CUSTOMERS
UK TV and sport is widely available throughout out South Africa with more people supporting an English Football team than a local team. There are many similarities due to colonial history such as driving on the same side of the road and legal system built on English law.
