The Company
Pernod Ricard is a French company with world famous drinks
products including Pernod, Ricard, Jacob's Creek wine and Jameson's
Whisky. Each year Pernod Ricard sells more than 54 million cases of
spirits, 20 million cases of wine and eight million cases of

The Challenge
The company wanted to reduce its high levels of expenditure on
flights for meetings between international offices (including
France, UK and Australia), and also aimed to reduce its
environmental impact.
After completing a review of its telecoms expenditure and
infrastructure, Pernod Ricard decided it needed a new provider.
The Solution
Gamma Business Communications was selected to provide Pernod
Ricard with all of its line rental including ISDN 2 and analogue
functionality.
Pernod Ricard also use Gamma Business Communications for their
calls. Our Carbon Neutral certification means that Pernod Ricard is

Government environmental targets.
The overall key to Pernod's decision to work with us was our
ability to offer a full range of solutions. As a result, Pernod
Ricard reduced its net telephony costs by 21%.

of flights staff make, leading to savings on travel costs and
helping the company to reduce its environmental impact.
