David Allen IT solutions have an ever-growing presence supporting the businesses of West Cumbria.  We work with a wide range of clients varying from restaurants and luxury hotels, retail outlets and charities, to the manufacturing industry and the nuclear sector.  Over the years we have taken pride in engaging with these businesses, getting under their skin to understand their challenges and objectives, ultimately supporting them to build a solid and successful IT strategy.

This year our clients Britain’s Energy Coast and The Peddler have opened a new site in Whitehaven in the redeveloped Bus station.  We have been heavily involved in this project, supplying fast fibre leased line internet connectivity, full business wireless, public wireless and wired network infrastructure, Gamma business IP phone system and tablets for the restaurant EPOS ordering system.  Michael Pemberton, Chief Executive for BEC who developed the bus station wrote:

‘A few years ago, we, as a business, took the decision to outsource all of IT support.  A decision, which it must be said, was a tough one to make but looking back the best thing we ever did.  Why? Because it led us to appointing David Allen IT Solutions.  Gary Martin and his team at DAIT have been nothing short of superb, whatever the task, whatever the challenge, nothing is too much for them. They are professional, proficient, committed and nothing is ever too much trouble.  BEC is a better organisation because of DAIT.’

The Bus Station is a hybrid space blending work, creativity, learning, food and drink in an inspiring and collaborative environment.  The Bus Station supports start-ups and entrepreneurs to innovate, invent and thrive.   The high-speed Internet connectivity and IT support we provide to the Bus station makes this possible.

We have recently worked with our clients at the Port of Workington to migrate them over to a modern workspace built upon the Microsoft 365 suite and renewed their cyber essentials certification.  This will allow their staff to be more mobile and help them work remotely, maintaining strong security whilst providing their service to West Cumbria.

If you are a business based in Cockermouth, Workington, Whitehaven or anywhere else in West Cumbria and are needing support with your IT, or just a free review, we are the leading local IT provider so will be able to provide solutions that works for you.   You can contact us here.
