Yes,

These are standard phones with the GEC Reliance logo kiss printed on.

I used to work for the company, and have seen many a dozen of them.

The company started out as the Reliance Telephone Company in North London, then moved to Wellingborough in the 1960s. It became Reliance Systems dealing in PAX, PABX, Hotel Roomcall systems (it was on "Crossroads" I believe), and CCTV systems. Part of the GEC group.

Then rebranded to GEC Reliance, then GPT Sale & Service (part of GEC Plessey Telecomms), and finally Siemens.

Hope this helps, any other ex-staff out there?

Bob.
