From referral to fully operational in just 7 days! 🚀

On Friday 21st August, we received a referral from Harwell.

The client was moving into their HQ building and had been struggling to get their Wi-Fi and connectivity set up. Their request was simple:

“We’re moving into the HQ building and I’ve been having a lot of issues getting Wi-Fi set up. I’ve heard you set up and provide connectivity for a lot of the buildings on campus. Would you be free for a call so we can discuss?”

There was one small problem… time!

They needed broadband up and running before 1st September.

A Teams call was arranged for Monday 24th August. Following the call, we put together a quote, and at 3:30pm on Wednesday 26th August, the order came in.

3:30pm is normally getting pretty late to place an order for next-day delivery.

But next-day delivery wasn't just preferable, it was imperative.

We needed the hardware on site quickly so our team could configure everything and complete the installation before the bank holiday weekend.

And then… it arrived! 🎉

Several switches.
Multiple access points.
Lots of cables.
And everything we needed, all delivered before midday!

From there, it was all hands on deck.

🔧 Thursday afternoon & Friday morning:
Switches configured, connectivity prepared and everything readied for installation.

🪜 Friday 12:30pm : Off to site!

Ladders loaded and ready, and thankfully, our two technicians had already completed their working-at-height training and were fully certified.

⚡ 6:00pm : Job done.

The hardware was installed, the network was up and running, and internet services were live.

From an initial referral on Friday 21st August to a fully operational fibre broadband service by Friday 28th August, all delivered ahead of the 1st September deadline.

That’s what we call connectivity without the wait.

So, what other network provider could move that quickly when the deadline really matters? 😉

Great work by the whole team! 👏

Is Your IT Ready?

If your IT works perfectly every day, it's easy to forget how much your business depends on it.

But what happens when something goes wrong?

🔹 A key member of staff can't access their emails.
🔹 Your internet goes down.
🔹 A laptop is lost or stolen.
🔹 Someone clicks on a phishing email.
🔹 Your backup hasn't worked when you actually need it.
🔹 A new employee starts, but nobody knows how to set everything up.
🔹 Your only IT expert is on holiday.

These aren't just IT problems. They can quickly become business problems.

That's why we're asking businesses:

Is your IT ready?

A good IT setup isn't just about having the latest equipment. It's about having the right systems, security and support in place to keep your business running.

At CTS Group, we can help you review areas including:

✅ IT support and response times
✅ Cybersecurity and user access
✅ Microsoft 365
✅ Backups and disaster recovery
✅ Devices and network infrastructure
✅ Internet and connectivity
✅ Staff onboarding and offboarding
✅ Business continuity

We'll help identify what's working well, where the gaps are, and what needs attention, before it becomes a problem.

🟢 Green — You're in good shape

🟠 Amber — There are areas to improve

🔴 Red — Action is needed

So, how would your business score?

If you're not sure, that's exactly why we've launched our CTS IT Health Check.

Get in touch with the CTS Group team to find out whether your IT is really ready for whatever comes next.
