Hardware Procurement
Dell Premier Partners & Ubiquiti Specialists: Enterprise Gear, Local Expertise.
Stop buying laptops from the high street. As Dell Premier Partners, we supply business-grade hardware from the Dell Pro range that is engineered to last. We don't just sell you a box - we custom-spec every machine to your exact workload, secure better-than-retail pricing through our Premier channel, and include a 5-Year Onsite Warranty as standard. Every device ships pre-configured with Intune & Autopilot, so your staff open the box, sign in, and start working.
For business networking, we deploy Ubiquiti UniFi - the same unified platform we run on our own network. One dashboard controls your WiFi, switching, and security gateway. No vendor lock-in, no recurring licence fees, and enterprise-grade performance at a fraction of the Cisco or Meraki price tag.

The Problem
Buying 'consumer' laptops from retail stores is a false economy. Flimsy plastic chassis crack within 18 months, 'Home' editions of Windows can't join your domain or run Group Policy, and the 1-year collect-and-return warranty means you're without the machine for weeks when it fails. Running end-of-life devices also creates security gaps that no amount of antivirus can plug. On the networking side, consumer routers and mismatched switches create blind spots - you can't see what's happening on your own network, and firmware updates are a manual, forgotten chore.
The Fresh Tech Fix
We supply Dell Pro business hardware - metal-chassis, military-spec tested machines designed to run 8+ hours a day for 5+ years. We pair this with Ubiquiti UniFi networking to give you a single, managed network stack from firewall to Wi-Fi access point. Because we spec and configure everything before it reaches you, your new kit arrives ready to work on day one.
Service Features
What's included in the package.
Custom-Spec Dell Pro Hardware
Tailored to your workload, not a shelf.
Every business is different. An accountant running Excel and cloud apps needs a different machine to a CAD engineer rendering 3D models. We spec each device to match the user's actual workload - choosing the right processor, RAM, storage, and display - so you never overpay for power you don't need, or underpay and suffer lag. Because we order direct through the Dell Premier channel, we access volume pricing tiers that consistently beat retail and online prices for equivalent business-spec hardware.
5-Year Onsite Warranty
Next-business-day repair, at your desk.
Most shop-bought laptops include a 1-year collect-and-return warranty - meaning you post it away and wait weeks. We include 5-Year ProSupport Plus with Onsite Service as standard on every Dell Pro device. If a screen cracks or a motherboard fails in Year 4, a Dell-certified engineer arrives at your office the next business day with the parts to fix it. Over a 5-year lifecycle, this alone can save thousands in emergency replacements and lost productivity. It also means your IT budget is predictable - no surprise hardware costs.
Ubiquiti UniFi Networking
One platform. WiFi, switching, and security.
We deploy Ubiquiti UniFi across your entire network - gateway, switches, and wireless access points - all managed from a single cloud dashboard. This means we can see every device, troubleshoot Wi-Fi issues remotely, push firmware updates automatically, and configure VLANs for guest networks or IoT devices without a single site visit. Unlike Cisco Meraki, there are no recurring licence fees - you buy the hardware once and manage it forever. The UniFi platform also includes built-in threat management powered by Proofpoint intelligence, giving your network enterprise-grade intrusion prevention without bolting on extra subscriptions.
Zero Touch Deployment
Intune-configured, out of the box.
Using Microsoft 365 Business Premium (Intune & Autopilot), we configure the laptop before it even arrives. Your staff just log in with their Microsoft 365 credentials, and their email, Wi-Fi profiles, VPN, security policies, and software install automatically in the background. This is a core part of our Managed IT Support - and it means we can ship a device directly to a remote worker's home without anyone from IT touching it first.
Lifecycle Management
Refresh, wipe, recycle - handled.
We track the age and warranty status of every device on your estate. When it's time to upgrade, we handle the entire lifecycle: we securely wipe hard drives to GDPR and Cyber Essentials standards, transfer the user's profile to the new machine via Intune, and recycle the old components responsibly. You get a certificate of destruction for compliance audits, and your staff experience zero downtime during the swap.
Dell Pro Laptops
The Dell Pro range (formerly Latitude) comes in three tiers - Base, Plus, and Premium - so we match the machine to the job. An admin on email and Sage doesn't need the same spec as a director running Power BI dashboards. We configure the right CPU, RAM, and display so you pay for exactly what you need.
Dell Pro Desktops
Need desktops? The Dell Pro desktop range (formerly OptiPlex) comes in Tower, Slim, and Micro form factors. The Micro is barely bigger than a paperback book and mounts behind the monitor with a VESA bracket - perfect for reception desks and hot-desking setups where space is at a premium.
Dell Pro Max Workstations
For CAD, 3D rendering, and engineering - Dell Pro Max (formerly Precision) workstations are ISV-certified for AutoCAD, Revit, and SolidWorks. They feature dedicated NVIDIA RTX Pro GPUs, optional ECC memory, and cooling systems designed for sustained heavy loads. We spec these for engineering and manufacturing clients.
Dell Pro Monitors
We supply the Dell Pro (P-series) and UltraSharp monitor ranges with USB-C hub docking - one cable charges your laptop, drives the display, and connects your keyboard, mouse, and wired Ethernet. No docking station required. Sizes from 24" Full HD to 34" Ultrawide, tailored to the role.
UniFi Unified Network Stack
We deploy Ubiquiti UniFi gateways, switches, and WiFi 7 access points as a complete stack. One cloud dashboard manages your entire network - no per-device licences, no annual subscriptions. We can troubleshoot a Wi-Fi dead spot in your warehouse from our office without a site visit.
Why One Stack Matters
When your firewall is Cisco, your switches are Netgear, and your Wi-Fi is from TP-Link, troubleshooting is a nightmare. With UniFi, every component speaks the same language. Firmware updates are one click, VLANs span the entire network, and you get a real-time topology map showing every connected device.
The Dell Pro Range - Explained
Dell simplified their business lineup in 2025. The old Latitude, OptiPlex, and Precision names are gone - replaced by a clearer tiered system. Here's our honest guide to which tier fits which role, so you never overpay or underspec.
A note from our team: We believe in transparency. Below you'll find the same spec guidance we use internally when quoting hardware. We'd rather you understood exactly what you're buying and why - even if you end up buying elsewhere. That's how we build trust.

The UniFi Stack - Our Pick for Every SMB
We run UniFi on our own network. We deploy it for our clients. Here's the complete product lineup we recommend, why we chose each model, and how they fit together into one unified, manageable network.
Why a unified stack matters for your business
Security Gateways
Your network's brain and firewall - the central command for everything.
Cloud Gateway Ultra
UCG-UltraThe perfect entry point for small businesses. This compact gateway manages up to 30 UniFi devices and 300+ clients. It runs the full UniFi Network application, giving you VLANs, firewall rules, and threat management in a device smaller than a smartphone. Pair it with a UniFi switch and a U7 Pro access point and you have a complete managed network at a fraction of the enterprise cost.
Cloud Gateway Max
UCG-MaxSteps up from the Ultra with five 2.5 GbE ports and optional NVMe storage for running UniFi Protect (CCTV), Talk (VoIP), and Access (door entry) alongside your network management. One box replaces your router, NVR, and phone server. Ideal for businesses that want a single pane of glass for their entire office infrastructure.
Dream Machine Pro Max
UDM-Pro-MaxThe rackmount powerhouse. Manages 200+ UniFi devices and 2,000+ concurrent clients with dual 10G SFP+ uplinks, dual HDD bays for RAID1 camera storage, and full IDS/IPS at 5 Gbps. This is what we install in server rooms for businesses with multiple floors, VLANs, or site-to-site VPN requirements.
Managed Switches
The backbone connecting every desk, AP, and camera via PoE.
Pro Max 24 PoE
USW-Pro-Max-24-PoEPowers your access points, VoIP phones, and cameras via PoE while providing 2.5 GbE to every desk. The 10G SFP+ uplinks connect back to your gateway at full speed. Layer 3 routing support means you can segment your network with VLANs without extra hardware.
Pro Max 16 PoE
USW-Pro-Max-16-PoESame enterprise features in a more compact form factor. Perfect for branch offices, server rooms with fewer connections, or as a dedicated PoE switch for access points and cameras.
Switch Lite 8 PoE
USW-Lite-8-PoEAn affordable, fanless 8-port switch with 4 PoE ports - enough to power an access point and a VoIP phone. Whisper-quiet for meeting rooms and small offices where noise matters.
WiFi 7 Access Points
Enterprise wireless coverage, zero dead spots.
U7 Pro
U7-ProOur go-to recommendation for most SMB deployments. The U7 Pro delivers WiFi 7 speeds with a 2.5 GbE uplink, tri-band radio (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz), and a coverage footprint that handles a typical office floor with ease. At this price point, it offers performance that rivals access points costing three times as much from competitors.
U7 Pro Max
U7-Pro-MaxWhen you have a lot of people in one space - conference rooms, training centres, open-plan floors with 40+ staff - the Pro Max handles the load. Its 4x4 MIMO antenna array on the 5 GHz band and dedicated spectral scanning mean it actively identifies and avoids interference. Think of it as the U7 Pro with more headroom.
U7 Outdoor
U7-OutdoorIP67-rated for rain, dust, and temperature extremes. We deploy these for outdoor working areas like loading bays, agricultural yards, and hospitality terraces. They also work brilliantly in warehouses and workshops where ceiling-mounted indoor APs would be impractical or damaged.
