Title: Kleeneze (Findel)
Post by debrawilliamz on May 25th, 2007 at 11:28am
[edit]by Dave:
This thread continues on from the old one here which was for Kleeneze's old location.[/edit]

Kleeneze has now moved to Accrington, therefore the old geograpical number is no longer working and we need to use the 0870 333 6688 number which is obviously costing money, particularly from a mobile.

Can anyone help me to find the new number? PLEASE

Can you provide some basic information?

  • What's the new address?
  • The St Ivel Way, Bristol address is on Kleeneze's contact page which is also given on the existing Kleeneze thread here. It suggests that the "service centre" is different from head office. So what are the addresses for both head office and service centre?
  • Is the service centre outsourced? In which case, who is the provider?

Putting the post code into Google, see here, finds quite a few pages. A glance at the pages of results in Google gives many that have a mail order theme to them, so probably connected.

At the bottom of this page is the Accrington Kleeneze address with 0870 phone number and fax 01254 303102.

Other results mention Express Gifts, including on Studio Catalogue's contact page. There are some 01254 numbers in the database for "Studio Cards (Express Gifts)".

Findel Plc have connections with this address. They also have a bought Kleeneze, see here:

Quote:
The division has been the main focus of strategic review in 2006/7 with the creation of Findel Direct to sit alongside Express Gifts and the recently acquired Kleeneze Distribution Network. The business provides a personal shopping service to around 1.5m customers and is the fourth largest direct mail order company in the UK. Sales via the Internet now make up a larger percentage of the division's turnover thanks to the addition of Letterbox, Kitbag, Confetti, I Want One of Those and The Cotswold Company.


Head office for Findel from contact page:

Burley House
Bradford Road
Burley-in-Wharfedale

A quick 192.com reveals this number - *Number removed*. It is not located at the same location as the service centre, but is called "Kleeneze (Europe) Ltd" so likely to be their switchboard. They might put you through.

Thanks for your help, but that number is for a private residential address where a Kleeneze distributor lives. Many distributors advertise with reference to Kleeneze. I would be interested to see that listing where you found the number. That guy is going to get lots of calls now I should think  ;D

I have all the information regarding address, fax numbers, switch board numbers. I know that Kleeneze has been bought by Findel and Kleeneze is no longer connected with Farepak.

I have been using the old geographical number for some time. However, as the company has moved they obviously have had to change their geographical number but kept the 0870 number for obvious reasons.

How does someone go about finding this number? Other than asking the company which I know they will not do.

Well it's good to know it's not connected to Farepak!

The answer to the question is to use the information we have and other connections like that to Findel. If you have phone and fax numbers, then you must post them.

If you have several numbers, perhaps employees' direct numbers, then that would be a real help. Quite often you find that the underlying number(s) for 08xx numbers are part of a block of numbers that are used for direct dialling in purposes.

As I said originally, post all information you have!

Another couple of threads on here that are connected with Findel are:

My apologies with that number - apart from the different address, it wasn't obvious they were a private distributor...

There are now two numbers in the database for Kleeneze that answer with the same menu. The 0117 fax number has now been removed as it appears to be a residential number. The 0117 9750350 switchboard number rings once and cuts off at the moment, so I've removed it from the database. I suspect that the 01254 number is the proper one and that the 0117 just diverts to it.

Other automated Kleeneze numbers are nearby to the 01254 one.  ;)

Good Afternoon

Apologies for resurrecting this thread...

I have found a Geographic contact number for Kleeneze...

I am not 100% sure if it's a direct alternative to the 0844 number as I have not called it... but I can try it later from my GiffGaff mobile (when I have signal), as they only charge 12p per min.. (and it will only take under a min to check)... However here is the info:

Kleeneze  0844 848 5000  01254 304171

To confirm the BOLD number works, and you select option 2.

Don't apologise for returning to an old thread - the purpose of this forum section is to amass information and evidence on numbers offered as alternatives.

I have promoted the quoted entry to the verified listings and removed a load of entries pertaining to Kleeneze, which I believe related to one or more distributors.

The above numbers answer with exactly the same options. One other unverified entry remains which apparently gives the switchboard number as 01254 872323.

I know a bit about Kleeneze. No i dont do the catalogues lol. :)

I can confirm that 01254 304171 is the alternative number to the 0844 one of the Kleeneze  service centre used by both customers and distributors alike. Many distributors are aware of it already.

They actually show it on their main facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/KleenezeOfficial/info

Some distributors add their own number,s to the unverified list in the hope of picking up some biz, or new recruits. :o

Kleeneze have now taken the 0844 number off the contact us page and just quote the 01254 one for the UK . :)

Interesting to see that when the true costs of running a non-geographic number are revealed, and the company has to pay them, they suddenly decide they don't need a non-geographic telephone number after all.
