IBDG, the International Business Development Group, is a specialist business development consultancy operating in Europe; Eastern Europe; USA and Middle East. IBDG are a rapidly growing company and have experienced so much success that they have had to expand their operation and move their base from Newport Pagnell to larger premises in Fox Milne, Milton Keynes.
IBDG specialise in Consultancy Services, International Trade Development, Foreign Direct Investment, Market Intelligence & Planning, and Business Development & Strategy Meetings. Their clients include many of the leading Government Agencies in the world and over 150 top companies and their drive is to generate growth of 50%, year on year, for clients.
Planning to move such an operation was a difficult and time-consuming process. Not only did they require an environment where they could enhance their service to clients but also wanted to create a great working environment for their staff. Sales Manager, Tam Sheikh says ‘At IBDG our staff are just as important to us as our clients and we wanted to create a workplace in which talented people could grow professionally and personally, therefore the working environment has to enable us to achieve this aim’.
Selecting suppliers to work with them on the move was a critical part of the process. With 45 Consultants and their PC’s and telephones to accommodate, data cabling was an important part of the move. After receiving quotations from a number of data cabling companies, IBDG selected Direct Data Cabling to install all the data cabling within the new building.
‘We chose Direct Data Cabling because they clearly understood my position. I required a solution provider that would liase with my PBX and PC Network suppliers on a technical level, as the installation project rolled-out, and also be able to work within the budget, & tight deadline.’ said Tam.
‘Their flexibility and overall approach was excellent, they were also very helpful in explaining the pro’s & con’s of the options available, without a bias toward their margin. I drive a hard bargain, and know I got an excellent deal; we will be working with them again for the next expansion of IBDG.’
The requirement was to install 144 Cat5e outlets to house 45 workstations. Direct Data Cabling provided a full solution for IBDG, from laying the cables underfloor, installing floorboxes and connecting all outlets back to a main communications cabinet.
