Berry Bros. & Rudd is Britain’s oldest wine and spirit merchant. A supplier to the Royal Family since the days of King George III, it has traded from the same shop in St. James’s Street, London since 1698 and today has additional offices in Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong.

“Many of our team are located in Central London and travel in from elsewhere. The recent improvement works at London Waterloo station have made things much more difficult in terms of getting into the office. However, Surface as a Service has allowed the employees affected to work anywhere with exactly the same user experience as if they were at their desk in the office. This has been a real saviour for us.”

“We needed a partner who could get us where we wanted to be, quickly. We knew we wanted to deploy Windows 10 across our entire environment in the future and Surface as a Service gave us comprehensive Windows 10 Pro availability on mobile devices. Centrality was the perfect choice: they had the expertise to get everything done, with a flexible business model to suit our requirements.”

Berry Bros.’ current agreement with Centrality lasts for three years, at which point it can choose to upgrade the devices and services if required – ensuring it continues to deploy the very latest technology in its business.

If this initial strong performance is sustained, Berry Bros. will consider extending Surface as a Service across its entire business – to some 300 users across its three offices
