About PNZ Group
PNZ Group is doing something pretty special. They've created a closed-loop renewable ecosystem that finances decarbonisation of British homes without costing the government or homeowners a penny.
They operate three companies:
- PNZ Energy - domestic decarbonisation
- PNZ Carbon - localised carbon credits
- PNZ Advisory - Net Zero advisory services
They've already partnered with Bristol Airport, Camden Council, and tons of housing associations. But their IT was nowhere near ready for the growth they had ahead of them.
The Problem
Our Solution
We rebuilt everything from scratch.
The plan was simple: create a unified, secure platform that could handle their current workload while supporting aggressive growth and M&A activity.
Microsoft 365 was the foundation, backed up with enterprise-grade security and disaster recovery.
What We Delivered
Microsoft 365 Transformation
We migrated everything to a proper Microsoft 365 setup:
- Teams, SharePoint, One-drive for seamless collaboration across all three companies
- Advanced email security to stop phishing and malware attacks
- Secure document management with proper access controls
- Full cloud migration so they could work from anywhere
Enterprise Security
We locked everything down:
- Multi-factor authentication on all accounts
- Advanced threat detection to spot problems before they hit
- Centralised device management for all company devices
- Data protection policies tailored to their sensitive commercial data
Backup and Disaster Recovery
Made sure they'd never lose anything:
- Automated cloud backups for everything critical
- Tested disaster recovery procedures
- Business continuity planning to keep them running no matter what
Network Infrastructure

The Results
Everything Works
The unified Microsoft 365 platform means all three companies can collaborate seamlessly. No more tech frustrations - just productivity.
Bulletproof Security
With Cyber Essentials certification and enterprise-grade security, clients and partners trust them with sensitive data.

Ready to Scale

Zero IT Headaches
We handle all the tech stuff, so they can focus 100% on their mission to power the UK's Net Zero transition.
The Bottom Line
PNZ Group went from IT chaos to having enterprise-grade infrastructure that actually enables their growth instead of blocking it.
They're now confidently pursuing aggressive expansion and M&A activity, knowing their tech foundation can handle whatever they throw at it.
For companies tackling big challenges like climate change, having reliable IT isn't optional - it's essential. We've given PNZ Group the technological foundation they need to keep revolutionising how the UK approaches Net Zero.
As they continue leading the climate transition through their innovative financing solutions, we'll be right there making sure their IT infrastructure never holds them back again.
