Boys and Maughan Solicitors
Introduction
Boys & Maughan is one of Kent’s most established provincial solicitors, with a proud heritage spanning over two centuries. With a team of around 160 partners and staff, the firm has built a strong reputation for offering accessible, friendly, and high-quality legal advice to both private individuals and businesses of all sizes.
Boys & Maughan has been working with Orbital Net since 2022, relying on our expertise to ensure their network and connectivity remain robust across their multiple Kent-based offices. As a firm that places great value on reliability and service continuity, they needed a trusted local partner who could provide enterprise-grade connectivity with a personal touch.
Research & Development
Why Were They Looking To Change Providers
For a professional services business where uptime is mission-critical, reliability and trust were essential. Boys & Maughan needed assurance that their chosen provider could deliver a consistent, high-quality connection and provide hands-on assistance whenever required. Our local presence and proactive communication gave them confidence that Orbital could meet those expectations. Following their merger with Gardner Croft, the firm also wanted to ensure continuity across all newly integrated offices.
Why They Chose Orbital Net
The relationship between Boys & Maughan and Orbital Net began through a local business connection. Our Business Development Manager, David, developed a strong rapport with one of the firm’s Partners and their external IT support provider. Through these early discussions, Boys & Maughan learned about Orbital’s solutions and extensive network infrastructure across Kent.
The Solution
Right To A Strong Connection
Orbital Net implemented a bespoke connectivity solution tailored to Boys & Maughan’s needs including.
- Full Fibre (FTTP) connections were installed at six of their sites.
- At one location, we leveraged our Maple Leaf Business Park PIA infrastructure to deliver FTTP, ensuring the firm benefited from ultrafast speeds and resilient connections even in areas where fibre access was limited.
The Result
Collaboration Is Key
Boys & Maughan now enjoy a high-performance, future-proof network infrastructure with greater speeds, reliability, and scalability.
Key benefits include:
- Ultra-Fast Speeds: Full Fibre (FTTP) delivers dramatically faster download and upload capabilities compared to fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) copper lines.
- Greater Reliability: Fibre connections are less susceptible to interference or signal degradation, ensuring consistent connectivity and fewer interruptions.
- Future-Proof Technology: FTTP supports growing data demands and digital transformation initiatives, positioning the firm for long-term efficiency.
- Centralised Support: With all sites now under one provider, the firm benefits from simplified management, faster fault resolution, and a single point of contact for all connectivity needs.
- Trusted Local Partnership: As a Kent-based provider, Orbital offers a more personalised approach with regular reviews, proactive advice, and solutions tailored to the firm’s business goals and future projects.
The collaboration has strengthened the firm’s confidence in their IT infrastructure and reinforced Orbital Net’s reputation as a trusted partner to professional service organisations seeking reliable, local, and technically advanced connectivity solutions.
