In the ever-evolving world of business technology, having a reliable IT and telecoms partner is crucial. That’s where The Red Penguin Group comes in.

Established in early 2019 by experienced IT professionals David Hanley and Daniel Hunt, the company was founded on the principles of offering affordable, high-quality IT, telecoms, and security solutions while prioritising customer service.

About the Red Penguin Group

With over 20 years of combined experience in the Managed Service Provider (MSP) sector, David and Daniel saw the challenges many businesses faced with their IT infrastructure. They identified gaps in traditional customer service approaches and set out to bridge these gaps by forming The Red Penguin Group Ltd.

Their Mission

Their mission is to provide services and solutions that will enable your business to be more secure, effective, efficient and profitable. They take pride in delivering services that exceed your expectations, are responsive, and are built on a foundation of trust and mutual respect.

Meet the founders

David Hanley

David Hanley – Managing Director

David moved to Nottingham in the early 2000s, originally studying as a radiographer in Liverpool before shifting to IT. His career in IT support began with an independent provider in Nottinghamshire, where he quickly became the go-to expert for IT service jobs. After working as a lead engineer and later as a director at another MSP, he decided to launch The Red Penguin Group with Daniel, focusing on creating an IT service that prioritises reliability and security.

Daniel Hunt – Technical Lead

Daniel’s IT journey started after studying Business IT in college. His first role was with an MSP specialising in legal and financial sectors, where he quickly advanced to a lead engineer position. Over the years, he worked with several MSPs until he met with David in 2010.  Daniels technical expertise and deep involvement in daily operations make him an integral part of The Red Penguin Group.

Solving business IT challenges

One of the most common reasons businesses approach The Red Penguin Group is when they encounter an IT issue that they are struggling to resolve on their own or that their existing provider is unable to resolve. Many businesses find themselves stuck with unreliable IT providers who fail to deliver solutions, leaving them frustrated and unable to operate efficiently.

Ideal clients & sectors served

While The Red Penguin Group works with businesses of all sizes, their ideal clients typically have between 10 and 50 users. They cater to a wide range of sectors, including:

  • Manufacturing
  • Real Estate & Property Management
  • Accounting & Financial Services
  • Recruitment Agencies
  • Legal Services
  • Design & Creative Industries

Community Involvement

Recognising the importance of business networking, The Red Penguin Group has recently become a sponsor of the Rushcliffe Business Partnership (RBP). David will be the first to admit that networking was something he used to shy away from. However, he now understands the value of building strong relationships within the business community and has learned to step outside of his comfort zone to connect with others. Sponsoring RBP not only helps raise awareness of their services but also allows them to support local businesses in enhancing their IT infrastructure.

As part of their commitment to RBP members, The Red Penguin Group is offering a free Cyber Security assessment to help businesses identify vulnerabilities and improve their IT setup.
