A Sussex company has fought off stiff competition to win a major call centre contract.

Inkfish, based in Queen's Square, Brighton, will handle the Post Office's new HomePhone service being launched in January next year.

A fixed line service for domestic subscribers, HomePhone will compete head-to-head with BT.

Inkfish has already set up a small pilot team to work towards the launch date.

Steve Morris, Inkfish's operations manager, said: "It's a real compliment to the team here to have won this exciting new project for such a massive brand and I know all involved will give a fantastic service to the Post Office and its clients."
