Creative Virtual, a leader in customer experience self-service solutions for global enterprises, today announced the celebration of the company’s tenth anniversary. Founded in London, United Kingdom in November 2003 by Chris Ezekiel, Creative Virtual began trading in January 2004 with a focus on providing web-based natural language virtual assistants. Over the past ten years, the company has diversified their product offerings and embarked on a global expansion.

The first week of October marked National Customer Service Week (#NCSW13) and a quick Twitter search showed lots of organisations recognising their service teams and sharing their top tips for providing the best service possible. It’s no secret that the service and support you provide can make or break your customer experience. Hiring the right people for your contact centre is key when it comes to providing superior service, but just like any other profession, your team can’t be successful without the correct tools for the job.

Since 2004 Creative Virtual has been helping financial institutions—both large and small—implement self-service customer support solutions, and today works with organisations such as HSBC, E*TRADE, NIBC Direct, Lloyds Banking Group and Allianz to reduce costs and improve the customer experience.

Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said, “London 2012 is the perfect stage to show investors and entrepreneurs how much we have already achieved, and the exciting potential of what is to come.”
