We understand the unique challenges faced by these sectors and offer comprehensive IT solutions to keep these organisations running smoothly and securely.

We have long-standing relationships with our clients, many spanning over a decade, encompassing the journey from on-premise computing to a largely cloud-based IT as a service model today.

Our B2B and NFP clients are geographically dispersed and operate across a wide range of sectors including professional services, manufacturing, logistics, recruitment and 3rd sector. The bulk of our clients are mid-size SME’s ranging from 10 to 250 employees, often operating across multiple sites.

Greenlight Computers IT Services for Leading UK Universities

Greenlight HQ was based within the University of Manchester campus for many years, as a result, we have developed excellent links with many other universities. We have delivered IT services in partnership with university and faculty IT teams, where additional capacity or skills were needed. This background means we regularly discuss projects under NDA restrictions. It may be that a new client is moving from in-house IT support to a Greenlight-managed service contract where staff TUPE could be involved; we are very open to these discussions as the staff will bring valuable insight.

Greenlight pre-designs B2B IT strategies and early-stage data architecture to safeguard the high value IP of your new businesses, enabling teams to work flexibly from day one. Selecting and configuring Microsoft 365 for email, office, and secure collaboration is a low-cost activity and if completed correctly, can aid with attracting future investment.

How Greenlight Computers Supports B2B & Not-For-Profit Clients 

Regular Review

Our service to B2B and Not-For-Profit organisations is built around solid best practices honed and perfected to support highly regulated sectors. We approach each client with four main principles in mind: 

1. Minimise cyber security risk through standardisation and prevention. 
2. Understand the client strategy and build an IT strategy to enable its success. 
3. Don’t be shy; point out any gaps and the best way to close them. 
4. Be a one-stop shop option but remain flexible to hybrid solutions with other partners. 

Regular review meetings with director-level input maintain positive open relationships with a more comprehensive annual review for all clients to validate that the contract is still working for both parties. The chance to talk strategy and cyber security enhancement and look at other areas of opportunity for the client and how we can support that. Our mindset is simple: You Grow = We Grow. 

Office Relocations

Quite often, a point of location change or expansion is the trigger for reviewing IT services. By adopting cloud-based IT solutions from the outset, Greenlight Computers supports the client in making short-term changes to the team or locations without restriction. New computers can be procured, configured with software applications, added security protections, and readied for new team members. New locations can be pre-configured with networks and firewalls to enable flexible working. Using flexible IT solutions enables Greenlight Computers clients to manage any change in data flows or storage and backup changes without concern. 

Our senior team is regularly signed up to NDAs 3 – 6 months before a new launch or relocation to help ensure common mistakes are avoided. 

Cyber Security

Modern cyber security requirements share similarities across all sectors. Greenlights primary sector is Life Sciences, a sector renowned for some of the most demanding cyber security standards as they protect patient and intellectual property data. 

Greenlight Computers recently commissioned a cyber security research project with the UK Cyber Foundry and four North West Universities (University of Manchester, MMU, University of Salford & Lancaster University). The study looked at best practice cyber security for the Life Science sector by taking the requirements of large pharma, ISO27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and leading cyber insurers and creating an ideal set of protections. The study then compared that ideal set to the cyber toolset deployed by Greenlight Computers and the leading cyber protection products on the market. 

The study’s outputs were then consolidated into a comprehensive checklist uniquely available to Greenlight Computers and its clients. Each B2B or NFP client situation may be different, but the stringent cyber security demands in Life Sciences are ideal for less demanding sectors. The Greenlight Computers cyber security checklist and toolset can offer the optimum cyber security for any company.  

We use our extensive knowledge of complex cyber security standards in the life science sector to benefit all our other clients, regardless of their industry or field.

B2B – IT solution examples

The Greenlight Computers team has many great “war stories” to tell from 16 plus years of providing IT services and support. Below are just a couple of recent examples:

Warrington Truck & Van

Working with Greenlight for several years now, a relationship stemming from a great service provided at another client, a client who shared the same accountant at the time.

First challenge a virus issue on a company PC, where the in-house tech needed external help.

Many changes have occurred over the intervening years including:

• Expansion to a new location requiring:
  • Full rebrand
  • External & internal signage
  • Full re-cabling & WIFI installation
  • New VOIP Telephony with full transfer to mobile functionality
  • New Broadband provision
  • Computer migration desk to desk
• Expansion to include new services for cars via a re-branded website:
• • https://www.wtvmotandservice.co.uk/
  • System integration to new MOT platforms
  • SEO services to maximise local reach
  • Social Media platforms established for ongoing promotion

Operations Manager

“As expert mechanics we are not IT specialists, so we love the fact that Greenlight are just a call away and have the skills to keep our IT running well.”

Dog Detectives

A client we are very proud to support with our IT services and Digital Marketing expertise.

Dog Detectives is a Chester based canine training specialist for the global search and security markets. The team do a fantastic job working with some amazing animals and getting them ready for some of the most dangerous environments around the world.

Greenlight Web started working with Dog Detectives through an ERDF funded scheme to improve the marketing for the business with a rebrand and new website.

Subsequent works included transitioning the company email from a legacy pop3 system to Microsoft365, hosting and maintaining the website and design of key literature to be used at events around the globe.

Dog Detectives

“Our IT was grinding us down with slow broadband, legacy email and a poor website. We engaged Greenlight under a grant funded project to rebrand the business and build a new website, only to discover they had the skills to solve all of our key concerns on a modest budget and provide responsive IT support whenever we need it.”

IT underpins every 21st century company and weaknesses in tools and processes can present serious risk to operational viability. Preventing and mitigating against risks needs to be high priority for any company.

Please contact the Greenlight Computers team for confidential advice if you have concerns, don’t wait till the “horse has bolted”. We love working with B2B companies like ourselves and can be flexible on terms.
