We’ve been so impressed from start-to-finish by CRE. Jose and Billy in support are superstars - always friendly, always quick to help. And Ryan and Calvin were amazing in the initial set-up.
Michelle Cook
Director
Calvin and his team have been excellent in setting up our phone system. The integration is providing so much value to everyone internally.
John Newhouse
Managing Director
CRE have been such a great company to deal with. They went above-and-beyond and we’re super happy with our system. We’ve been working with them for a few years now, and they are excellent.
Ben Gee
Founder
Having recently switched our telecoms to CRE, we have experienced exceptional service from the initial discussions, through to the professional install with Sully. The integration with our Street CRM is a game changer!
Neil Bartlett
Managing Director
We're delighted with the service that CRE has provided. From start to finish - Calvin helping to get everything set up and Arben getting it all working. Finally, a telecoms company that actually does what they say they will!
Steve Wayne
Founder
We've been super impressed with everything that CRE has provided so far, especially the call intelligence dashboard. It provides us with so much useful information.
James Du Pavey
Founder
Our members are seeing a massive benefit from CRE's services. The ability to integrate into the CRM means their platform provides major time-saving, which our members love.
Iain McKenzie
CEO
I cannot recommend CRE more. From start to finish the transition has been seamless. The integrated transcript to our CRM is perfect and saves so much time by saving a summary of the conversation directly to the clients details.
Connor Quirk
Director
From the sales call initially which was a great presentation and offer, to the onboarding process and the installation itself CRE have lived up to their promises. Service has been brilliant
Paul Ashton
Director
Ben Gee from Hat & Homes tells us about his experience with CRE after a year and a half of service. As a multi-site agency, he needed a reliable phone system to increase the productivity of his team.
Because we're whole-of-market, our suppliers want more customers on their platforms - and they fund us to buy people out of existing contracts to make that happen. That cost never gets passed on to you.
We can cover the remaining cost of your current contract, so a bad deal doesn't have to run its course.
The buyout is funded through our supplier relationships, not added to your new contract.
No need to wait out another year (or two) on a system that isn't working for you.

Got questions? We've got you covered. Here are some quick answers to help you get the most out of CRE.
The current standard limit is £100 per transaction. The FCA is giving providers more flexibility to set their own limits from March 2026 onwards, though most are expected to keep £100 as the norm for now - we'll keep you updated if that changes anything for your setup.
Chip and PIN, contactless and mobile wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay in person, plus online card payments through payment links, QR codes and online checkout. All major debit and credit cards are covered.
Card takings are paid out the next working day, rather than the 2-3 working days many providers still default to.
No. You get a fixed transaction rate, and any terminal or monthly costs are explained upfront before you agree to anything - no hidden percentages added later.
Yes. You can send the client a secure payment link by email or text, or take the payment through online checkout, so holding deposits and fees can be paid without them coming into the office.
There are no long tie-ins. We'll walk you through the terms for your setup upfront, so you know exactly what you're signing up to before anything goes live.
Yes. Terminals use point-to-point encryption and online payments use tokenised card details, so full card numbers are never stored on your own systems.
