Applied IT wins SME Business Growth Award
Friday, March 26, 2010 The Swan Hotel Bedford
Last night at the Conquest Business Events Annual Awards Evening, organised and run by Pam Woods, Applied IT scooped the hotly contested SME Business Growth Award 2010.
In front of a packed audience of local business people at the Swan Hotel, the awards ceremony was opened by Alistair Burt MP who in his speech stressed the important contribution made by SME business to the recovering economy, he made it clear that the quality of entries had been very high and the judges had had to work hard in their deliberations.
The SME Business Growth Award was presented by Councilor Ken C Matthews, the Portfolio Holder for Economic Growth, Skills & Regeneration. He highlighted the impressive and consistent track record of Applied IT over the three year period and attributed their success to a straightforward business model that aligns the interests of the customer with that of their IT provider. He went on to explain that Applied IT charge a fixed fee on a rolling monthly contract, for which they provide the complete service normally enjoyed by companies with an in-house IT department, including unlimited help desk, same day equipment repair or replacement, advice on IT, hardware and software at the right price and 24/7 system monitoring. He was impressed that their strategy of business networking had been the source of a stream of referrals from satisfied customers and business partners.
The award was accepted by Stewart Peart, MD of Applied IT and Mandy Andrew the Operations Director.
In an interview conducted later by Judy Oliver for Local News TV, Stewart said that the award was recognition of the hard work put in by Applied IT’s skilled and enthusiastic technical team who go beyond the call of duty to deliver great customer service.

Office Move Goes to Plan
On Friday 2nd July Applied IT moved to new, larger premises at Unit 1, ARC Progress, Mill Lane Stotfold, Hitchin SG5 4NY, our telephone numbers remain the same.
The move went according to plan and by redirecting phones and using a backup broadband service we were able to complete it without disruption to the service
We would like to thanks all our partners, customers and suppliers for their help in making this run so smoothly
Applied IT Office Move – Friday 2nd July
On Friday 2nd July Applied IT will be moving to new, larger premises at Unit 1, ARC Progress, Mill Lane Stotfold, Hitchin SG5 4NY. Our telephone numbers will remain the same.
We have been working against the office move plan for several weeks ensuring that it goes smoothly with minimum disruption.
The new offices are now ready to start working in and we have arranged for phone lines and broadband to be transferred on Friday 2nd
BT cannot do this without some outage so we have arranged for an alternate broadband service during the move and a single line phone on 0845 3652010
Support will be provided throughout the day but when the phone lines are moved there will be a period of time when only the 0845 number is available and when you might get an engaged tone.
As usual we will deal immediately with urgent requests but during the move period we may have to defer less urgent requests to the next working day
