Greater Manchester Partners

AskBobster has worked with other leading Greater Manchester organisations, including Manchester Golf Club and the Families & Babies charity. The partnership with Manchester Golf Club highlights how AskBobster can be tailored to niche industries, providing seamless support for member enquiries, event bookings and guest engagement.

Nick Melvin, Chair of Manchester Golf Club Marketing Committee, said: “AskBobster has significantly improved our guest and member engagement. The chatbot is always there to greet visitors to our website and provide them with the information they need. With their done-for-you service, the setup was completely hassle-free. Their team handled everything, from integrating our brand to managing the bot’s updates, which means we don't have to worry about a thing. It's a valuable asset for our club, allowing us to focus on providing the best member experience while they handle the technical side.”

Elaine Edwards, Chair of Trustees, Families & Babies, said: “Working with AskBobster has been such a positive experience for us. Their chatbot is now helping families get the information and support they need, even after hours. We didn’t have the time or technical know-how to handle the setup ourselves, but AskBobster took care of everything. They really listened to our needs and customised the bot perfectly for us. It's already making a big difference for the families we support, and we're really happy with how smoothly it all went.”

Canine Inspiration

The idea for AskBobster was inspired by Bobbie (pictured) the office mascot and much-loved pooch at AskBobster. Bobbie, affectionately known as "The Bobster," is a cheerful cockapoo whose friendly demeanour and playful nature bring joy to the entire team. Bobbie is more than just a pet - she’s the heart and soul of the office, often greeting everyone with her wagging tail and brightening even the dullest of days.

The concept of AskBobster was born during one of Bobbie's walks, where her ability to effortlessly connect with passersby sparked an idea among the team: what if their technology could be as engaging and approachable as Bobbie? This inspiration led them to create an AI chatbot that embodied Bobbie's welcoming nature - warm, helpful and delightful.

Bobbie’s influence extends beyond being a mascot - she symbolises the values of accessibility, friendliness and support that are central to AskBobster's AI chatbot solutions. By infusing Bobbie’s personality into its technology, AskBobster has developed a tool designed to make business communications simpler, more efficient and as friendly as a wagging tail.
