Onsite IT Support at Alderley Park
The longevity of Greenlight Computers at Alderley Park stretches back to 2014 when the site was acquired by Bruntwood SciTech following AstraZeneca’s relocation to Cambridge. This resulted in Greenlight Computers moving onto campus as an early tenant.
Alderley Park has been a great home for Greenlight Computers and in 2023 we moved into our new offices at the end of the Mereside atrium. It’s great to be visible and available for clients to just knock at the door.
Greenlight Computers at Alderley Park
The Greenlight Computers team at Alderley Park includes two permanent technical staff and a masters qualified scientist as on campus relationship manager. The onsite team backed by our full team of 25 technical and consultancy staff with a wide breadth of expertise. A similar model is adopted at several other science parks, and we have ambitions to build on the model across the UK.
At Greenlight Computers, we continuously innovate our services to stay at the forefront of regulations and compliance within the life science sector. With ISO27001 and ISO9001 accreditations, we provide professional IT support that rivals corporate-level service, all within an SME budget. Our clients trust us to support their IT infrastructure while ensuring compliance and security. Alderley Park has a complex campus switch network between buildings and 3rd party providers, Greenlight Computers is well placed to work with new tenants to ensure they get the best integration into site.
Alderley Park, is one of the largest UK science and technology parks, serving as a significant part of the UKs leading edge life science community. This premier location hosts a vibrant community of life science companies, fostering collaboration, and driving advancements in the industry. As a trusted IT partner, Greenlight Computers have trained our technicians to provide GxP compliant services, to enable the onsite companies in Good Lab Practice (GLP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). Additionally, our team includes masters qualified scientists who bridge the gap between IT and Science, allowing us to provide specialised support tailored to the unique needs of the sector.
To continue building our brand and reputation at Alderley Park, in 2023 we introduced a new style of corporate branded wear to provide suitable, smart and flexible workwear which designed by a small subgroup of the team. This enables current and potential clients to recognise our staff around site. The process of selection took several weeks but everyone is pleased with the new look.

Greenlight Computers ESG
Our dedication to minimising our carbon footprint aligns perfectly with the Alderley Park and Bruntwood Sci-tech ethos and the growing commitment shown by the life science sector in general. By offering both onsite and remote technical support to multiple companies, we eliminate unnecessary travel and contribute to a sustainable working environment. We believe that reducing our environmental impact is crucial for the long-term success of our clients and the wider community.
Greenlight Computers through partnerships with the likes of Lenovo and PlayitGreen offer unique solutions looking to extend the life of IT hardware and achieving best practice ROI. A good example is the Greenlight Computers approach to selling Laptops where we include:
- The best laptop suited to the job role.
- Option of a 5 year warranty upgrade from the 1 year standard.
- Carbon offset of planting 25 trees if the client goes with the 5 year warranty.
This type of approach is very appealing to the scientific community at Alderley Park as they are challenged by big pharma to demonstrate their own carbon footprint reduction action plans.
