About Kennedy Redford
Founded in 2019 and based in Altrincham, Kennedy Redford is a multi-disciplinary consultancy providing Civil and Structural Engineering, Sustainability and Building Services Design, and Lead Consultant services across sectors including industrial, infrastructure, renewables, manufacturing, commercial and energy from waste. In 2025, the business expanded into Ireland, reinforcing its presence across the UK and Ireland.
With this growth came to need for an It partner that could deliver both technical expertise and proactive support – not just day-to-day fix-it responses but efficiency, clarity and a trusted point of contact.
The ChallengeScaling for Strategic Growth
Before switching to Apex Computing, Kennedy Redford faced several IT frustrations common to growing SMEs:
● Lack of clear communication and responsiveness from their previous provider
● Technical support that was slow or inconsistent with business needs
● No dedicated escalation procedures or reliable account management
These pain points made IT feel like a blocker rather than an enabler – especially as the business expanded its operations internationally.
“Everything is made clear, service is efficient and proactive… our main concern with our previous supplier was a lack of response to support tickets and lack of escalation procedures and account management.”
