Vodafone Qatar in franchise deal

Vodafone Qatar and Data Select Qatar have formed a partnership to meeting the growing telecommunications needs of the country’s customers and bring Vodafone products and services closer to all communities in Qatar.

This will be achieved by launching new stores next year. The first franchise presence was a kiosk at Hyatt Plaza and the other second is a store at Al Nasr Street with several more to follow in key locations across the country.

Speaking at the official opening of the Al Nasr Street Store, Vodafone Qatar’s CEO Richard Daly said “Vodafone’s aim is to be as accessible as possible and to give customers world class customer experience. Our partnership with Data Select will help us do this with their proven track record of delivering unmatched customer services and experience.”

Commenting on the partnership, Data Select’s Managing Director Holly Joint said: “Data Select is proud to be helping Vodafone achieve its aim of being the most admired brand in Qatar.  The Al Nasr store is in the heart of Doha and clearly demonstrates how Vodafone and Data Select put the customer and the community at the centre of their businesses.”

Established in 1998 by UK Entrepreneur Peter Jones CBE of Dragons’ Den and American Inventor fame, Data Select has grown into one of the most respected technology distribution businesses in the UK.  While product distribution remains core, the business has expanded into areas such as retail, fulfilment, logistics, M2M services and end-to-end solutions.

With a team experienced in both the UK and GCC markets, Data Select LLC was established in Qatar in 2012.
