πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ§‘ Blue, Orange, & High-Vis! πŸŽ½πŸ’™

Some of our team had the absolute best time volunteering at 5K The Centre Way in Victoria Park, Widnes on Saturday! The event was organised by the incredible team at Halton Cancer Support Group, who are celebrating a massive 30 years of helping people in our local community.

Our guys were down at the park bright and early from 9:30 AM helping to set up the event hub, move kit, and mark out the 4.5-lap course. Once the crowds arrived, we suited up in our high-vis vests to help marshal the route, manage donation buckets, and shout massive words of encouragement to all the runners, walkers, prams, and pups!

The atmosphere at the Victoria Park Bandstand was absolutely buzzing! From the beautiful live music by the Farnworth Community Choir to the brilliant pre-race warm-up with the legendary Pink Tutu Guy, the community spirit was out in full force. Local favourite The Grumpy Northern Foodie cut the ribbon at 12:30 PM to kick off the main event!

After helping with the big pack-up and clearing the park, our volunteers headed off to their own weekend plansβ€”a bit tired, but so proud to have lent a hand.

A massive shoutout to Event Managers Nicola and Dez, the charity staff, and every single person who laced up their trainers to raise vital funds. You are all superstars! ⭐

πŸ‘‰ Want to support their amazing work? It's not too late to donate to their campaign! Every penny raised goes directly to local people affected by cancer. Drop a donation here: https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/campaign/5k-the-centre-way-2026

Ever walked into a comms room, opened the rack, and been met by a terrifying wall of technicolor spaghetti? 🍝 We’ve all seen them, many inherit them, and honestly, it’s the absolute stuff of IT nightmares!

Ignoring a messy cabinet is a ticking time bomb for network performance, equipment lifespan, and troubleshooting sanity. ⏱️πŸ”₯

Our latest project was a complete transformation. We took this server rack from a chaotic operational nightmare and rebuilt it into a clean, uniform, and perfectly labeled work of art.

Swipe to see the ultimate "Before & After" satisfaction! πŸ‘‡

Why does proper cable management matter far beyond just looking pretty?
βœ… Drastically Reduced MTTR: Tracing a drop takes seconds instead of hours.
βœ… Optimized Airflow: No more trapped heat cooking core switches.
βœ… Zero Guesswork: Clean runs mean clear visibility for link lights and labels.

Check out the full breakdown of the journey and why a tidy cabinet is critical for your IT operations over on our new blog post!

Just completed a solid upgrade at a local warehouse! πŸš€
We replaced their old, sluggish Cat5 cabling with fresh Cat6 LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) – purple for easy spotting and extra safety in an industrial space.
Faster speeds, better reliability for inventory systems & devices, and much safer if there's ever a fire risk. No more bottlenecks or random dropouts!
From cutting access points and pulling bundles through trays...

Huge difference for their day-to-day ops.

Anyone else upgraded their warehouse or office networking lately?

Big shoutout to the legends on site today!

We almost got the entire crew in one frame this afternoon – close enough for a cracking group photo in the warehouse! From left to right: the guys who make it all happen – building, installing, problem-solving and keeping everything flying like pros.

Hard hats, hi-vis, a few flexes and big smiles πŸ˜„. Love seeing this international crew come together – different backgrounds, same top-notch attitude and graft.

Another milestone ticked off, and loads more ahead. Massive thanks to the team – you're the absolute backbone of this operation! πŸ’ͺπŸ› οΈβš™οΈ

Just finished another super-clean OS2 fibre termination job in Sheffield! πŸš€
Upgraded a client's setup with compact single-mode fibre splicing, perfect integration into existing BT/Openreach cabinets, and zero mess left behind.
Yellow pigtails neatly coiled, cables routed perfectly, rack looking factory-fresh – you genuinely can't tell we've been there! 😎
That's the kind of work we love: high-performance fibre (low-loss OS2 for future-proof speeds) + invisible install. No downtime, no eyesore cabling, just reliable connectivity that disappears into the background.
Proud of how seamless it turned out. If your business needs fibre upgrades, extensions, or just a proper tidy-up without the drama – get in touch! We're based in the North West and love making comms rooms look this good. πŸ’»πŸ”—

πŸš€ On-site in Bolton today! We're upgrading the network by installing high-performance fibre optic cabling between the remote comms cabinets and the main IT cabinet.
Clean fusion splices, neatly managed colourful fibres (love those purple pigtails!), and everything tidied up in the rack for maximum reliability and future-proof speeds.
Another step closer to faster, more reliable connectivity for the site! πŸ’»πŸ”—

πŸš€πŸ’‘ Future-Proofing Education in Lancashire! πŸ’‘πŸš€

We've been busy on-site at a fantastic education facility in Lancashire, giving their network infrastructure a serious upgrade! πŸ’ͺ

Digital learning demands robust connectivity, so we've installed Cat6a cabling for blazing-fast 10Gbps speeds right to the classrooms. This means no more buffering during online lessons or slow downloads for staff! πŸ§‘β€πŸ’»πŸ‘©β€πŸ«

For the backbone, we've implemented high-speed fibre optic links, ensuring seamless, lag-free communication across the entire campus. Plus, check out our meticulously managed racks – clean cabling isn't just aesthetic; it boosts reliability and makes maintenance a breeze! ✨

Investing in top-tier infrastructure like this isn't just about faster internet; it's about empowering students and educators with the tools they need to thrive.

Road Trip! 🚐 We headed over the Pennines to Yorkshire this week to give a fantastic day nursery a much-needed network upgrade.

In a modern nursery, reliable connectivity is vital for digital learning journals, instant communication, and safety. Patchy Wi-Fi just doesn't cut it anymore. πŸ‘ΆπŸ’»

Here’s a look at what we installed:

πŸ› οΈ The Engine Room: We tidied up the comms cabinet and installed a new Aruba Instant On PoE switch. This runs the whole show, sending power and data up to the ceiling devices without needing messy power sockets.

πŸ“Ά Wireless That Works: We mounted Aruba Access Points high up on the ceilings. This ensures killer Wi-Fi coverage for staff tablets and keeps the kit well out of reach of curious little hands!

πŸ“ž Crystal Clear Calls: In the hallway, we installed a central Yealink DECT base station. This means staff cordless phones now have rock-solid signal anywhere in the buildingβ€”from the play area to the kitchen.

A neat, professional job and one less thing for the nursery managers to worry about.

Does your business network have dead zones or messy cabling? Give Fathom IT a shout.
