Another red rose for Radius - Chorley BC purchases Radius Financials

26 November 2003, Feltham

Chorley Borough Council has become the third Lancashire local authority to contract for Radius Financials. It joins Pendle and West Lancashire, two other district authorities who have already selected Radius Financials and are en route to successful implementations.

Chorley Borough Council is a progressive and forward thinking authority committed to using technology to improve service delivery and reduce costs. The Council has used the Radius SPS ledgers for almost ten years and has been very satisfied with the product and the excellent service provided by Radius during this time.

Gary Hall, Assistant Director of Finance at Chorley, said: “The implementation of Radius Financials will be a major step forward and will provide a firm base to help the Council achieve its ambitious targets. The excellent modern facilities provided, particularly in the area of e-procurement will enable us to streamline processes and operate a much more effective purchasing regime.”
