Central Services at Stonehills Complex

 
   

The Stonehills Complex provides a range of Central Services to assist the development of the businesses. All services provided by the Complex must be cost recoverable and use is totally at the discretion of the management of the Complex. None of these services is obligatory - any tenant has the right to provide their own resources at their own cost.

1. Telephone

The small business units only are linked to a Siemens Hicom 130 Telephone System providing a telephone answering facility when tenants are off site. Each unit has an individual extension number.

There will be no charge to be linked to the system.

Outgoing calls

These are connected through a computer call logger which records the duration and classification of the calls made on each extension on the system. This provides the information for an accurate monthly bill to be prepared in arrears for each tenant. There is no charge for internal calls on the system.

To cover the running costs of the system i.e. line rentals and system maintenance a small premium is added to the metered pulse.

Incoming calls

These are answered at reception as Stonehills and then transferred to the extension required. Calls, which are not answered within 1 minute, automatically return to ring at reception so that a message can be taken. This helps to give new businesses professional credibility from the outset.

Tenants should notify reception when leaving the site and check for messages on return. All messages are entered in a book kept at reception.  

2. Fax

Each tenant is provided with a four-digit code to enable them to use the fax machine. The machine is then able to log all transmissions made by each tenant for preparation of bills.

All incoming faxes must be entered in the Fax Record (kept near the fax machine) before removal from the fax tray. Incoming faxes placed in tenants' mail boxes have already been entered in the Fax Record by Stonehills staff.

Charges are as follows:

Incoming -

27p per A4 sheet

Outgoing (UK) -

75p per A4 sheet
