This team tackles a wide range of tech challenges including security and User Access Management (UAM). With the help of Vodafone, our experts also manage our network infrastructure (WAN, LAN, WiFi and Voice) and keep IT services running smoothly through a partnership with Computacenter. While efficient day to day support is key, so are longer term projects. It’s here that we deliver our capital programme for technology fix activities – making sure our tech is continually updated.
