Fixing some of the Stadium 5G this morning.
All confirmed good by 9:15am. Beauty of starting crack of dawn and have rest of day free (for yet more work!) 😂🔴⚪️

Very proud to deliver a sea of Premier League & Partners projects in conjunction with Sunderland AFC

Extensive upgrades covering multiple aspects starting with a full Stadium 5G install taking 7 engineers teams over 12months in all 4 seasons of weather!

Semi automated offside technology
Hawkeye & VAR works, Premier League upgrades, SKY Broadcast, SKY Compound fibre optics, EBARS, Kioks, new Quinn’s Bar and wiring up THAT screen wow!
…. new Founders Bar, 76 Yards Bar, WiFi upgrades infrastructure, cabinet upgrades, new Media Centres the list goes on and on. Think my own record was a 20 hour day.

The engineering teams have been brilliant and gradually culminated over the last month getting infrastructure ready for Women’s World Cup Rugby 2025.

Stadium looks truly amazing after its £10M refurb and SAFC staff have worked so hard in all Depts. They inspire us to go more than the extra mile day after day. Definitely a special relationship above any other.

Can’t wait to see the Opening Ceremony & hopefully an England win tomorrow showcasing our fantastic venue in its best light.

Quality does cost a bit more….

“When you buy your own clothes & shoes do you opt for the very cheapest you can find?” 🤔 🤦

Saturday open-heart cabinet tidy surgery on a 25+year old cabinet.

Absolute best it could be based on how it’s hard-wired but ideally after some on-site advisory some en masse modern Category 6 re-cabling is on the medium-term horizon for them.

Every IT system re-tested and they are all ready for a Monday morning operational re-opening ✅

‘Before’ & ‘After’

Premier Services indeed…

Quite the busy day today
21,500+ step count helping one of the engineers finish off a recent deployment of IP-CCTV, multi fibre runs, screened cabling and new data cabinets.

Last 4 x ‘fisheye’ cameras up 25metres and I’m pleased it wasn’t me up there!
Directors-prerogative and all that.

Nice fresh factory extension this site and the main site is 4 times larger off to my right (already kitted out last year)

All the engineering teams are flat out to the onset of Winter so fat chance of a slower work pace for my 56th birthday in a few days. Heyho, it keeps the Engs happy.

“Mad, You’re mad”
“45 year old and starting up a Company in this climate, madness!”

That’s what a few bodies said to me back in 2014. 😂
10year anniversary later. Just wow!

Fed up with being an ‘employee’ for 25years+ I bet on myself for once.

What a journey after a great IT career at some of the region’s best IT VARs.

Literally the best thing I ever did.

Special thanks to Paul Farn & Lorraine who ‘contracted’ me from day1 and immensely helped me with the transition from “employee mindset” to that of a company owner. It really helped me for 1st 12months+ and I will always be grateful.

We’ve carried out some amazing projects from basic installs, multiple nationwide rollouts for some large corporates and even multiple MoD works spanning England & Scotland across 100s of buildings.

Have a great ‘go to’ team of skilled bodies and quality & reputation at the forefront.
Not money-motivated so hence we don’t undertake ANY works for the M&E / builders industry but that’s another story!

Ten whole years of enjoying actually helping people with added value know-how. Ensuring they get their project more than correct and sharing with them maybe some ideas and tips taken from the 1000s of previous installations.

There’s nothing more satisfying to me than an end client expressing how our little idea or tip has helped them beyond expectation.

Thankyou also to anyone reading this that has helped me and Premier succeed; introduced me to folks, put me forward to try help someone. Partnered with me as their own ‘go to’.
You know who you are. 👏

I’m not really any ‘mentor’ but have and would help anyone thinking of doing their own modern day startup. What to avoid, things to consider. Just contact me (sorry i don’t use “reach out” terminology 😂)
….that’s what LinkedIn means - connecting ‘people’

Will have my celebratory coke-zero later (yes, im still tee-total at 55!) and think back to the best business 10years of my life for sure…..

Posh new 64TB HikVision NVR installed along with the 1st initial batch of 12 ‘fisheye’ cameras.

Quite extraordinary the 360degree high detailed quality views & footage they capture.

Our Factory FTP cabling, WiFi AP’s & fibre optics are all in so just needs a cable management bar installed in the gap, nice cable tidy up and the cabinet sides put back on.

Another local project for a very happy customer. That impressed, wants us to do their new factory. Needs must…

Helped pull a plane down & back
up a runway today with one of my corporate clients Capita PLC
- for Action for Children.

Alpacas on the way in were hilarious. They even spat at some of the Capita folks 😂😂😂😂

If you want to donate for the children’s “Secret Santa” here’s the link below.

We raised £5,000 today between about 15 bodies. 👏

“Wow, that’s neater than neat”
- engineers performing quality work again at one of the region’s Rugby Stadia for few weeks.

Installing a really special cctv-for-players on all the stands alongside weatherproof & well-hidden structured cabling.

Vital stats and all manner of player data info can be gleaned. Very high-tech indeed and apparently they “weigh a ton” said the lead engineer!

“Good for your fitness” as i pass by performing the usual in-project quality checks on site.

Hope the weather stays mostly dry after last week’s drenchings! 🌧️
