ESB and Dell launch new employee purchase programme

By Aisling Kennedy

Staff will be glad to hear this month that a new deal has been negotiated with Dell which will benefit any staff member who may be thinking of buying a new computer, laptop, printer or accessories. The new Employee Purchase Program means that all staff in ESB are now eligible for discounts of up to 10% off Dell products.

There is a wide range of Home Products available for purchase through Dell including Inspiron Notebooks, Dimension Desktops, Printers and Peripherals. They come with a 1 year basic Collect & Return warranty with an option to upgrade to a 3 year Next Business Day On-Site Service.

Staff can build an order to their own specific requirements and have it delivered direct to their home in approximately 7-10 days. The deal was negotiated by Procurement, Shared Services and Group IS Brendan Kennedy of Procurement said, "We're very happy with the deal particularly as it means that the discount applies even to promotions and special offers."

Staff may need a special ESB reference number when availing of the deal. To place an order with Dell simply log onto www.dell.ie/epp or call 1850 40 70 70 quoting the ESB reference number.
