Set up in 1999, South Manchester based IT services company, Aspire IT Services Ltd have combined their personal interest in ecological good practice with their experience in information technology to introduce ecologically friendly IT solutions that save energy.

Leaving office PC's switched on overnight and during week-ends leads to the injection of tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere, damaging the environment and running up large electricity bills.

To combat these problems, Aspire IT Services Ltd have developed and implemented a strategy for their clients by installing software that works to save energy while the PC works as normal.
The total system energy use is lowered by 10-35% even when a system is working at 100%, reducing environmental damage but also making a yearly saving of over £25 per PC.
To ensure maximum energy is saved, shutdown scripts have been implemented so even when staff forget to shut down their machines – the system will still close down at a pre-agreed time with the client.

From July onwards, the introduction of these IT solution will be implemented free of charge to all Aspire IT Services Ltd client base as part of their commitment to drive towards greener IT solutions.


Mark Hodgkinson, The IT Director’s comments, “We are committed to the implementation of greener IT solutions within our business and for our client base. We have a track record in consistent quality standards with our clients – and we aim to be more than an IT supplier. We want to provide our clients with added benefits by helping them become greener businesses and saving them money too!.

Whether a small or medium size business, all companies can contribute to saving resources. Reducing energy waste is not only viewed as a friendly environmental action but also saves energy hence saves money. And all this with no detriment to the business.
Our pronged attack on energy waste will mean we will save our clients a substantial amount of money per year and energy prices are not going lower – in fact energy will shortly become a major issue for businesses as it is likely the UK has under-invested in power provision – this could mean rolling brown outs and many challenges for IT infrastructures”.
