Fordway - Data infrastructure specialists

Fordway is one of the UK's leading IT infrastructure specialists.  An ISO 9001:2000 quality certified company based in Surrey, we provide successful, cutting-edge business solutions to leading UK organisations in both the public and private sectors.

Fordway has brought together one of the most highly skilled teams of technical consultants in the country. It comprises qualified Microsoft MCSEs, Novell CNE/MCNEs and Cisco certified engineers, including CCIEs and CheckPoint CCSEs.  It includes people with a vast range of technical qualifications, such as an expertise in Micosoft, Vmware, Commvault, Citrix, Riverbed, Compellent, SUN/StorageTek, HP, Qlogic, Brocade and Cisco.

Founded in 1991, the company has evolved from focusing purely on technology to one where the focus is on building IT infrastructures that serve individual businesses. Developing and installing IT strategies and solutions that meet the demands of a business in the 21st century now lies at the core of everything we do. We have built up an impressive client list and now have nearly 60 permanent staff, more than half of whom are qualified technical specialists.

Fordway’s success is due to our people, our approach and our independence:

Our people are our greatest strength. Continual training ensures that our staff are well equipped to deal with the ever-changing demands of the IT industry. We employ people with exceptional interpersonal skills and ability, among them some of the most highly accredited consultants and engineers in the UK.

Our approach is to put business first. We believe that IT services are of real value only when they serve business needs and reflect business processes and priorities, and not the other way round. This ties in with our belief that, with the increasing complexity of IT systems, it is better for businesses to focus on what they are good at – running a business – while we use our extensive technical and business process skills to look after their IT services for them.

Our independence derives from being self-funded, privately owned and, most importantly, vendor neutral. We work with some of the world’s leading IT vendors but are not beholden to any of them. This gives us a great competitive edge when it comes to advising clients on IT solutions.
