IT support company of the year Orchid IT made sure that the city
remained open for business when Marketing Derby relocated to new
premises recently.
Orchid, the Midlands' leading supplier of IT support and
services, assisted Marketing Derby with its relocation to Pride
Park through its unique business mover service.
Marketing Derby Bondholder Orchid ensured that there was minimum
disruption to Marketing Derby's operation during the relocation.
Orchid took care of the transfer of all telephone lines and
internet connectivity through one of its ISP partners, along with
the installation of data cabling and the transportation of hardware
and other equipment.
Orchid has also carried out a review of the organisation's IT
systems and will be taking care of Marketing Derby's IT support
needs going forward.
Brett Critchley, managing director of Orchid IT, was delighted
that Marketing Derby remained open for business during the
relocation:
"Companies using our business mover service can be assured that
all their IT and communications issues are taken care of, so that
they will be up-and-running as soon as they arrive at their new
premises. This leaves the management team able to concentrate on
other aspects of the relocation.
"We are delighted to have been able to offer our assistance to
Marketing Derby, which is doing such a fantastic job in raising the
city's profile to inward investors," added Brett.
John Forkin, managing director of Marketing Derby, added:
"Thanks go out to Brett and his team at Orchid for working with
us to ensure a smooth transition to our new offices; we look
forward to working with them in the future."
Marketing Derby has moved to Pride Park courtesy of Bondholder
Geldards LLP after several years sharing city centre premises with
Derby Cityscape. The organisation promotes the city in order to
support and attract investment and works closely with partners
across both private and public sectors.
