Mental Health businesses value the town's professional environment and access to a skilled local workforce.
Lewes's economy features a healthy mix of sectors including creative industries, independent retail, artisan production, hospitality, professional services, publishing.

IT company first, connectivity provider second. That's why your broadband actually works properly.
We configure your router, firewall and network properly — not just plug in a box and leave. Your connectivity is integrated with your entire IT infrastructure.
No dealing with call centres. You call us, and we deal with the carrier. One relationship, one phone call, one team that knows your business.
We recommend based on what you actually need — not what earns us the biggest commission. If SoGEA is enough, we'll say so. No upselling.
We monitor your connection and often know about issues before you do. When there's a problem, we're already on it — not waiting for you to call.
Through Fidelity Group, you get access to the same carrier-grade infrastructure used by large enterprises — at prices that work for SMBs.
We don't just install a line. We integrate it with your switches, Wi-Fi, VoIP and cloud services — making sure everything works together from day one.
Upgrading your connection? We plan the switchover carefully to minimise downtime, keeping the old line live until the new one is fully tested.
Already a Cloudswitched IT support client? Your connectivity slots straight into your existing support. Not yet? We can manage both together for maximum efficiency.
Need guaranteed uptime? We design failover solutions with backup connections that kick in automatically — so your business keeps running no matter what.

Got questions about business broadband and connectivity for mental health businesses? We've answered the most common ones below.
Absolutely. Mental health records are among the most sensitive personal data that exists. We implement the highest levels of encryption, access control, and audit logging. We understand that a breach doesn't just violate regulations — it can cause real harm to vulnerable individuals.
We deploy and manage clinical-grade video consultation platforms with end-to-end encryption, waiting room functionality, session recording controls, and integration with your practice management system. We ensure the platform is reliable, private, and meets professional body standards.
We implement role-based access controls ensuring therapists only see their own clients' records. We manage joiner/leaver processes to revoke access immediately when staff leave. Screen privacy filters, automatic session locks, and audit logging provide additional layers of protection.
We guide you through the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit assessment, implementing the technical controls and policies required. This includes staff training, access management, encryption, backup, and incident response procedures that satisfy NHS data security standards.
Tell us about your business and we'll recommend the right broadband solution — no obligation, no pressure. We'll check what's available at your address and give you a clear, honest quote.
