Established in 1993, we are the UK's largest independent supplier of Standby Power solutions.

We specialise in Standby Power for IT, with a track record of successful projects throughout the UK - from the smallest computer room to the largest Data Centres.  Our leadership in fuel cell Standby Power has allowed us to implement the UK's first two fuel cell systems supporting IT infrastructures (see case study).

All our sales engineers are specialists in Standby Power and their role is to help define your requirements, and then recommend the most appropriate solution from the technology available.  An initial discussion could cover your business continuity needs, the specification of equipment to be supported, your power load and runtime requirements, the characteristics of your incoming power or the location and positioning of power protection systems.

Unlike manufacturers and most power solution re-sellers, we are totally independent of any vendor and not tied into any single product family.  The advice we provided is both impartial and unbiased.

To support our customers we have built the UK's largest cross-matched database of UPS, generator and fuel cell solutions.  This comprises both mainstream and specialist products from all the major manufacturers and is constantly updated with specifications of every new product released or upgraded.
