Summary
UKFast, the Manchester internet hosting firm, is achieving 100% year-on-year growth in its public sector division following major contracts with Thames Valley Police and Hampshire Constabulary. The division now supplies cloud services to most of the UK's 43 police forces and clients including the Cabinet Office, Ministry of Defence and NHS trusts.
The firm's cloud platform removes the need for individual police forces to manage their own hardware and software, reducing operational costs and freeing IT resources. Steve Jewell, head of UKFast's public sector arm, said health and social care networks represent another significant growth opportunity, with activity expected to accelerate over the next 18 months as organisations adopt the services.
