18. Customer Contact Centre  one easy to remember number: 08000 514 514  This is not about limiting access, it is about making it easy  All divisional telephone numbers still exist, so you can still call them if you prefer  If you call this number, the request for action will go straight to the SMC for action  It is not a call centre – it is a contact centre  The staff will take ownership of the call, they will not just take a message
