The Case in Brief

Over the past 16 years, we have had the pleasure of supporting DT Hughes as they steadily expanded into the company they are today.

The story started in 2005 when we supplied the team with five mobile handsets. As the company grew, it became clear they needed a communications solution to simplify day to day operations.
So we went away and designed a Unified Comms solution that included mobile, phone systems and connectivity, providing seamless communication across all three DT Hughes sites.
Since then, we have supported the team at DT Hughes with their IT hardware and comms, as they pull out all the stops to meet their customer’s needs with a leading internal enterprise system.

WHAT WAS WRONG?

DT Hughes noted constant replacement of contractors mobile devices was occurring due to outdoor conditions and damage.

WHY THIS IS A PROBLEM

Without reliable devices it’s difficult for onsite teams to communicate, access data and complete their jobs effectively.

WHAT’S THE IMPACT?

High cost, time wasted, communication issues, risk of delays and unhappy clients.

David Hughes

Managing Director, DT Hughes Group
To protect our business, adhere to our contractual obligations and allow our team to complete their tasks with ease and comfort, we needed robust devices that would meet our standards.
We needed a specific type of device – they had to be heavy-duty, so able to handle bad weather and accidental damage, plus have a flash function.
Curveball understood exactly what we needed, they worked hard, communicated throughout with our team and provided a great solution.

Why Curveball Solutions?

As a smaller, agile provider we can act quickly to ensure our client’s challenges are resolved without delay.
You can be confident of getting reliable, expert guidance and advice – without the hard sell.

David Hughes

Managing Director, DT Hughes Group
We need a reliable service partner for our IT and Comms provision, one who has the speed and agility to meet ours. It is refreshing to work with a local family run business that has a team to hand at every request, and with the best interest of our business at all times.
Curveball offer solutions that are proactive and cost-effective. I would highly recommend them, and I look forward to continuing our working partnership.
