Efficient, versatile, and timely supply of IT

"Over that last Financial Year (08/09) and so far this FY we have placed in excess of 230 orders with SBL. These orders have varied from a single cable to 30,000 encryption products to 6500 Microsoft Enterprise Licences and, in monetary terms, have ranged from £10 to £370,000.

The performance of SBL on all has been exemplary in terms of product guidance, production of relevant and cost effective quotations, product delivery and through-life support.

The staff of SBL are knowledgeable in their specialist fields as well as MoD guidance and policy, they are professional in their approach, proactive, efficient, adaptable and, above all, polite and courteous in all dealings.

I would have no hesitation in recommending SBL to my colleagues both within The Naval Command TLB and wider within the other MoD TLBs as I feel that the services provided by them are essential to the smooth and efficient running of a volatile, in terms of constant change both operationally and technically, IT environment."
