As part of the partnership, WeType are offering a Free Trial for all EWI members (worth £34.50 plus VAT) so they can try the service.

 

EWI Chair, Sir Martin Spencer said “We are delighted to be welcoming WeType as a supplier partner. The services they are offer are an excellent fit for our members offering opportunities to save time with an easy to use mobile app. We look forward to working with them over the coming months and encourage members to look into their services.”

 

Richard Phillips, Business Development Director at WeType said “WeType is delighted to be partnering with EWI. It’s on a shared value basis. We know how important data integrity is - our service is designed to ISO27001 standards – and we offer immediate encrypted access to UK-based typists on a pay-as-you-go basis.
