Picture of the Autocom Logo

As the logo says Autocom are makers of "Specialist Communications".

Cathy and Bernard are very pleased and proud that Autocom are providing the communication system for the journey. With this system we will be able to talk to each while on the road, handle Satellite Navigation instructions and also take calls through to the mobile phones. What more could we ask for? Autocom talked to us on Friday and the equipment was delivered on the following Tuesday by special courier. The word service does not do justice to what happened!
