Company Background

Hedley 2000 Ltd is a company with a Head Office in Peterborough and a regional office in County Durham.

Hedley 2000 Ltd was formed in November 1999 as the management buy out vehicle for the original Hedley Incorporated Company. Hedley Incorporated started life in 1971 providing electrical services throughout the Peterborough area.

The Company then progressed to fire and security systems supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance. The Company continued to develop and in the late 1980's progressed into the data communications field initially providing data cabling services for a long-standing client Barclays Bank Plc.

These services further progressed to provide networking hardware and infrastructures. The Company then offered these services to all clients and has now established a turnover approaching £5million per annum supplying, installing and supporting data network infrastructures for clients throughout the UK.

The company now specialises in the design and installation of network infrastructures and associated electrical installations including any necessary builders work and now provides these services for numerous clients throughout the UK including NHS Trusts, local councils and Barclays Bank Plc within their retail networks across the UK.

These works generally involve the installation of data cabling networks and associated electrical installations i.e. power supplies for PC's, data cabinets, printers among others.

The installation works are generally carried out in occupied premises and can be during normal working hours or outside of normal working hours i.e. evenings and weekends therefore good customer care and excellent project management skills are essential in order to deliver the projects on time and within budgets.

We have been undertaking these types of works for over 10 years, both with Barclays Bank Plc and with numerous local councils where we have undertaken similar operations for upgrading IT networks in council offices, civic centres, schools etc.

The management buy out has allowed the Company further potential to develop the IT networking infrastructure operations within the Company and is now moving forward and developing the operations to be at the forefront of the industry having engineers fully qualified in Cat5, Cat5E and Cat6 data cabling installations, latest fibre optic installations and accreditations gained in most of the major network hardware manufacturers i.e., 3Com Silver Partner, Cisco Premier Certified Partner and HP Partner.

The company prides itself on the quality of works it delivers, not only in terms of price and quality but the service. We have had numerous commendations from clients who have commented on the fact that the works have been undertaken with such minimal disruption that they did not in fact realise that we had been working in the buildings.

This is a complete endorsement for the workforce who we employ, and they are all directly employed by Hedley 2000 Ltd, as we do not utilise sub contract labour. All of Hedley 2000 Ltd's engineers undertake specific Hedley induction training, Criminals Record Bureau (CRB) clearance, Construction Skills Certification SCheme (CSCS) Health and Safety Training, a key element of this is good housekeeping within customers premises.

All engineers are equipped with dust sheets, dustpans and brushes and vacuum cleaners, and are trained in the proficient use of all such items. It has been this strength in quality of service that has enabled the company to grow and maintain a 100% customer retention record.
