Real world successes
Ormiston NEW Academy
I recently had the pleasure of working with the 2580 Group, and I must say that they did an exceptional job! From start to finish, their dedication and professionalism were truly impressive. The 2580 Group’s team was not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and accommodating. One of the standout moments during our collaboration was when they came through for the academy with a quick turnaround, especially considering the short notice on our request. I was pleased with their willingness to go the extra mile to ensure the project completion.
Thank you, 2580 Group, for your outstanding work.

How we help clients
CAT6a Wi-Fi Roll Out For Schools
Client: Classified
Location: Portsmouth
Brief: The client is part of a school trust upgrading their Wi-Fi cabling infrastructure to CAT6a; this also included Wi-Fi Access Point installation. A new fibre had to be run from the main communication cabinet to an external modular building for a remote cabinet.
