about Hargreaves PLC
"We're delighted to have Principle Networks as our network provider" David Lewis, Group IT and Projects Manager.
The Challenge
Driven by solutions.
Guided by process.
Network Assessment
A process which helped us understand the current and future state of the business, the technical requirements and the outcomes we needed to deliver.
Solution Design
Looking at the bigger picture and considering all options, we took the opportunity to redesign the network and look at opportunities to reduce the total cost of ownership.
Implementation & Migration
Due to legacy staggered contracts, we have adopted a staged migration process which minimises disruption and reduces unwanted dual running costs.
Operational Service
Hargreaves Services now benefit from a network which better suits their business requirements and one which offers a high degree of flexibility for change.
Continuous Improvement
On-going two-way collaboration focusing on network performance, security, resilience and running costs. Delivering a secure platform and appropriate technology to support the Hargreaves group of companies to deliver shareholder value and future growth.


Key results.
A modern, dynamic network to support continuous business change and growth.
A specialist, network support team to help IT support their business requirements.
