Southern Daily Echo 14th January 2012 – Excited Students from Minstead Training Project in the new IT Suite.
The Minstead Training Project has installed a new IT Suite with funds raised from a 3 Peaks walking and climbing charity challenge, where brave (and fit) volunteers had to climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Mount Snowdon within a 24 hour period.Minstead Training’s Roy Baker – Finance Director, Century IT Services’ Paul Marsh – Partner & Rick Burt – Partner
Ben Nevis is the highest mountain (1344 metres) in the British Isles and is located in the Scottish Highlands.
Scafell Pike is the highest mountain in England at 978 metres and is located in the Lake District National Park in Cumbia.
Mount Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales (1085 metres), located in the Snowdonia National Park.
Century IT Services were approached for their specialist I.T knowledge and expertise (as well as their flexibility with working with charities) to advise and install the new I.T suite of Windows 7 computers and Microsoft Small Business server so there could be maximum functionality and benefit to the students.
Century I.T Services provides I.T Support, I.T Installation and Maintenance Contracts to businesses in Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Sussex
In addition, the I.T Suite can easily be used as an Internet café as well, utilising a shared broadband internet access with Skype and webcams. There are a range of learning applications and software as well as copiers and printers.
The I.T Suite is already in use by the students and staff as well as Furzey Gardens so they can produce signs and photography for Furzey Gardens based near Lyndhurst, Hampshire. The IT Suite will be used by students and staff to offer training and research.
