New Client Announcement: Thrive Homes - Conosco

Written by Conosco | Sep 22, 2020

We are delighted to announce the signing of a new client – Thrive Homes, a housing association which owns and manages properties across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

Thrive Homes began a tender process in April in search of an IT Managed Services provider to deliver Remote Managed Services, Security Services and projects. Throughout the process Thrive expressed that they were looking for a partner, who would not only provide IT support but align with the businesses strategy and keep them informed of future IT developments and emerging technologies.

John Stenton, Head of IT at Thrive says “I am really pleased to be partnering with Conosco who will be providing Thrive’s IT infrastructure support, user support and helpdesk. Thrive and Conosco both share the belief that people matter, and this will resonate with my users. We also have cyber security ambitions in common; automated responses to cyber incidents that further improve Thrive’s security. I think this will be a great partnership; Conosco will offer our users a fantastic service and manage our infrastructure, providing a solid foundation for Thrive to build its future IT strategy upon.”

This is now the second housing association that Conosco are working with, having won Croydon Community Housing Association (CCHA) in 2020. Both Thrive and CCHA mark a new and exciting development for Conosco, delivering IT support and services to the social housing sector.

As we begin the process of onboarding, we look forward to working closely with Thrive’s team to ensure the transition is seamless and service is consistently high quality.

Anders Reeves, Conosco’s CEO says “We are thrilled to be partnering with Thrive. Conosco’s mission is to support, guide and continually evolve the technology, communications and cyber capabilities of our partners – and it is our ambition to strive to work with those partners who are best aligned with our own primary value: the belief that deep-care and support for our people and teams are the keys to our success. We are excited to be working alongside John, and the broader Thrive team, who clearly share this team-first spirit. We very much look forward to delivering Thrive with quality services and enabling their continued transformation at a time in history when flexibility and dynamism are imperative.”
