118 520 Wins Best New Number in Europe

118 520 is the brand new Directory Enquiries number in support of the NSPCC.  The number's launch was marked by winning Best Newcomer at the Directory Assistance Awards in Barcelona.

118 520 stood out from the competition due to its unique fundraising strategy for the NSPCC.

Calling 118 520 costs no more than the leading directory enquiries numbers but Chess donates 9 pence to the NSPCC for every call made. This means every time someone requests a number, they go a little way towards helping the NSPCC to end cruelty to children.

The International Directory Assistance Conference & Awards was held in Barcelona between the 10th and 11th of October 2007. The only event in the Directory Enquiries industry, it continues to grow each year, attracting support from around the globe.
