A SHOPPING centre in Huddersfield has joined forces with a technology firm to increase the efficiency of its IT systems.

Kingsgate brought in Lockwood-based business IT specialist P2 Technologies to help the retail complex enhance its business operations – by delivering an outsourced proactive IT service with 24/ 7 monitoring of systems together with cost controlled on-site and remote support.

In addition, P2 will provide strategic IT advice and guidance to ensure that the centre’s IT systems are continually updated and at the forefront of all technological developments – while allowing centre staff to focus on the day-to-day running of the business.

Andy Wood, operations manager at Kingsgate, said: “P2 have provided us with a cost-effective IT solution which will provide us with the support we need. Their customer service is excellent and I am confident there will always be someone on the end of the phone should we need it.”

Martin Page, director of P2 Technologies, said: “We are pleased to be working with Kingsgate to provide the centre with the ongoing IT support it requires.

“Our service provides Kingsgate with the reassurance that any IT problems or issues will be dealt with immediately – often before the client is even aware there is a problem. We will also be on hand to offer ongoing strategic advice, providing the business with up to date IT solutions.”
