IT and communications

Our IT systems are totally secure and robust, ensuring that all our data is completely safe, and that we will never let anyone down through computer problems.


We make it easy for our customers to deal with us in a safe and secure environment.

Business critical applications

We operate Navision, which controls all our stock and finance in a secure environment.

Secure network

Customers can come in and share documents such as technical specifications in a controlled secure area.

Electronic invoicing

We invoice electronically, saving our customers time and reducing paperwork.

Video Conferencing

We are in constant worldwide communication through our new state-of–the-art video conference suite, and also with our customers who have video conference facilities.

Consolidation of IT environment

We are engaged in the process of virtualisation, using external servers.  This provides us with high availability and more performance with faster operation and totally secure failover, while at the same time using fewer servers and less energy, and saving money for the company.  The system is based on Microsoft Hyper-V, with whom we are a preferred partner.

Disaster recovery

We have several layers of protection of our data, based on a system of disc to disc to offsite tape.  Data is transferred offsite every 15 minutes.
