Moving to 24/7 operations reflects our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our clients, many of whom operate in mission-critical environments where round-the-clock support is essential.”

The new contract will enable Alton Valley to expand its services and provide enhanced levels of support to its clients, cementing its reputation for reliability, security, and cutting-edge solutions.

The company has already established itself as a trusted partner in safeguarding critical systems and addressing the rapidly changing challenges of connectivity and security.

The decision to operate around the clock highlights Alton Valley’s readiness to support organisations requiring continuous operational excellence. With every team member holding security clearance, the company is uniquely equipped to handle sensitive and classified projects with the utmost professionalism and confidentiality.

Engagement partner Jacob Watts added: “This contract is not just about growth; it’s about evolving to meet the demands of a dynamic and challenging sector.

Service Partner Jack Gibson said: “Our move to 24/7 operations ensures we’re always there for our clients, providing solutions that keep their systems secure and their operations running smoothly.
