Stewart Jordan

MDNX is an independent provider of managed networks and cloud services. It manages some of the most technically complex and challenging networks for major corporations in the UK, and delivers this same level of innovation and quality to thousands of smaller businesses directly and through its channel partners.

Moving to a ‘Managed Network’ is often cited as the best way for an organisation to take control of its infrastructure and cut costs, but for us this is just the beginning. Network transformation is the real driving force behind cost reduction, service improvement and maximising the business value of a communications environment – This is at the heart of what we do.

We have transformed some of the most technically complex and challenging networks in the UK, providing ‘Critical National Infrastructure’ to Government and Utility customers; delivering flexible/scalable network solutions to large Construction and Retail companies and managing resilient and secure networks within the highly regulated Legal, IT and Services sectors.
