Phone offer to engage firms

SIR Thomas Hotel and Newz Bar owner the Flanagan Group are going on the attack to beat the recession by rolling out a service previously reserved for footballers.

Its Little Black Phone service – previously accessible to only Liverpool and Everton football clubs – allows clients to text or call with their specific requirements.

Director Paul Flanagan said: “You can either sit back or you can say 'I am going to go out and attack this’. We’re going on the attack.”

The group, which is also recruiting, having already added five people to its management and marketing teams, is looking to add to its staff at Cafe Sports England.
