Chris Smith, sales and marketing director of on365, commented: "Having worked with Harvey Nichols for the past 20 years, we knew the solution for the new location had to offer maximum use of space, effective power distribution and management, plus the ability to expand with the company's needs. We were able to design a service that enabled a quick build within a four-week period. The new centre will enable electrical efficiency, a better managed power distribution, overhead cabling and the centralised monitoring capability to ensure 100% service across the company's network at all times.
Colin Richardson formed on365 (known as Universal Power Systems until November 2007) in 1984 to meet the growing user demand for UPSs to be supplied with higher levels of pre and post sales support. When asked to explain the company's success, Colin says: "The long-term commitment to customers and the integrity of our staff has set us apart from other suppliers. We have always taken a longer term view of the needs of customers rather than cutting corners to make a short term profit."
