Having two systems for incident alarms and public address meant that embassies abroad were having to operate two separate systems in the event of an incident. This meant a slower response, and they were not as cost effective because there were two separate systems to maintain.

Working in partnership

The FCO needed reliable and resilient IT communications channels protected to the highest standards of security. We answered their request.

Worldwide networks

With communications now global, organisations need to be confident that they can share information securely with colleagues around the world.

When the earth shook

When the earthquake struck in China in 2008, we assisted the local community to ensure they could safely access their homes and offices.

An Olympic challenge

Maintaining 'business as usual‘ in Beijing in the middle of the Olympics, provided a logistical challenge to the delivery of diplomatic mail.

Greening the FCO

From fitting low carbon hot water technology to measuring our freight footprint, we‘re helping make the FCO a greener and more sustainable place to work.

Improving services for visa applicants

Maintaining security across the world

Our priority is to ensure that the environment in which staff work and in which they process and communicate classified information is safe and secure.

Measuring global carbon
