horizon7 operatives were carefully positioned within the management structure of the operator's organisation.   Each senior horizon7 member supported critical implementation activities and was held directly accountable for each task and its successful completion.

By supporting the senior levels of the organisation, horizon7 operatives aided a rapid deployment and a practical approach to objective completion, the development of an advanced telecommunications network deployment within Manchester City Centre.

Specific involvement within the Business Markets Division allowed access to the UK's 2nd largest Financial Centre and Commercial District, a key component to the success of the business. The rapid deployment of advanced services and infrastructure added much needed kudos to the organisation and raised the division's profitability to above business expectations.

Early resourcing of key positions by the operator helped ensure activities are commenced as soon as practically possible and thus benefiting the strategic objectives for early service delivery for consumers.
