Keith Kentish - Director - TFC Europe
“CNC has supported Sweeptech Environmental Services’ as its exclusive IT partner since 2013. Their proactive service has been nothing but excellent and their ongoing commitment to understand our own business needs has unquestionably assisted our ability to expand our business into multi-operating sites with ease, without communication compromise.
We see CNC as a partner rather than a supplier”
Martin Smith – CEO – Sweeptech
“I started using CNC last year when, to survive COVID lockdown, we lost our IT manger & everyone started working from home. The change for the company was traumatic, but CNC successfully & without fuss guided us through the entire process.
I take great comfort knowing that for any issues we face going forward, I have them to contact & they will deal with any situation. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any company seeking 3rd party IT support.”
Bob Stubbins – Finance & IT Director – Staple Dairy Products Ltd
“CNC has provided us with outstanding service, ensuring that the IT experience for all our staff is high quality and that our systems are secure. CNC has provided advice and consultancy which has allowed us to keep pace with changes.
A result is that The Poppy Factory was well-positioned to enable home and flexible working required because of COVID restrictions. I am very grateful for the ongoing support provided by the whole CNC team”
Mark Louw – Finance Director – The Poppy Factory
“The service team have been a fantastic support to us throughout the pandemic. We had 125 users working from home within 24 hours, each set up with Microsoft Teams and full access to our servers, ensuring that the continuity of service to our clients wasn’t compromised in any way.
While we continue to work from home CNC have provided practical solutions to help us prepare for our return to the office. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CNC as an IT service provider, and I look forward to continuing to work with them”
NH – Operations Manager
“…I have personally enjoyed our interaction and your personal attention to our IT needs from day one. I must also reiterate I especially appreciated CNC’s work on the conversion from the disparate set of network systems in our group to a professional integrated structure over the last 10 years.
Without you and your team we would have struggled to achieve the levels of rationalisation and security of structure we enjoy today. It certainly made my IT responsibilities more comfortable.”
Robert B – Finance Director – Ethical Manufacturing Company
“Their quick response times and that they are able to resolve IT issues with just one phone call – which is great; speed is really important to our business! They recently provided us with one of the smoothest ever server upgrades with virtually a pain free transition.
CNC have consistently offered us great advice and IT support over the years, always looking to continually improve our IT Infrastructure, within our budget. I can highly recommend them.”
Ben Lloyd – Managing Director – Courier Express

CB – Financial Controller – Duncan Stewart

PETER BURRLUCK, INFORMATION SYSTEMS MANAGER, MDJ LIGHT BROS LTD
“From the outset of our journey to upgrade our internal project system, CNC were very proactive and efficient in dealing with our specific requirements. Even though there were the inevitable stumbling blocks along the way, CNC were quick to react and come up with solutions. We now have a quick and smooth project system which all members of the team agree is a huge improvement on what we had before.”
LEE MATTHEWS – PRE CONSTRUCTION DIRECTOR
‘’The service that CNC have provided for our IT is outstanding, they are always willing to go the extra mile. From the point we started working together, they have performed well, looking after our IT along with extending this more recently with an onsite-support presence.
They really think things through, considering all the issues that you might face, and if problems arise resolve them quickly. All of the projects they have undertaken for us have taken the business forward, they have always delivered on time and on budget. Very professional. ”

“CNC helped us create a completely customised internal hub system for our sales quotations. The system was created in a short time and has galvanised the way we work, making things easier and with much greater automation. Simple quotations have gone from taking 15 minutes to taking 2 minutes! Working with CNC is always a pleasure and we always see results”
Gregg Smith-Tilley – QA & Project Manager – Orbinox
“Working closely with CNC, Shoreham Port has been able to improve our IT security, transform and upgrade our IT Infrastructure and implement a robust fully redundant IT infrastructure. CNC has assisted in enabling us to provide a flexible approach to the provision of a broad range of IT services across the many different business operations involved in running a busy Port.
The Port’s systems operate in a challenging environment that is considerably more complex than a normal business; with Marine, Property and Cargo systems, as well as the usual business applications such as Financial and Office provisions.
The implementation of Microsoft Office 365 and Teams as well as Remote Desktop has changed the way we work at the Port, increasing operational efficiency, benefiting all stakeholders.
The CNC Portal simplifies the onboarding and leavers process and removes the administration overhead of provisioning IT services.
The Portal also provides a “single pane of glass” for tracking support cases, contracts and review documentation which includes useful support statistics.
By providing remote working, secure email, and internet access as well as excellent end user support, CNC have been a valuable partner helping Shoreham Port achieve our objectives in line with our Masterplan.”
Toby Elliott – Head of IT & Innovation at Shoreham Port
