DB Comms has been one of our trusted technology advisors for several years, they’ve always gone the extra mile to understand our business and offer solutions that fit our requirements. As a result, myself and my fellow Directors would have no hesitation in recommending DB Comms to any other company looking to review and upgrade their current technology solutions.

LED Project at IQ Aberdeen

‘Following a tender process to replace all light fittings in our undercover car park to LEDs DB Group were awarded the contract. The car park is beneath a hotel, used by tenants during the day and members of the public in the evening proved a challenge. An initial strategy was agreed for the installation of the light fittings which had to be reviewed and amended not long after work commenced. DB and their sub-contractor were very accommodating and flexible in their approach allowing the project to be completed within an acceptable timescale.

Light fittings suit the car park environment and to date, we have achieved a 60% reduction in energy costs. A saving in maintenance costs should also be achieved over time due to the reduced replacement of parts.

DB Group met the needs of the project and provided this service with very limited disruption to our tenants’

— Sandra MacDonald at Knight Frank

George Watson's College

Just thought I would drop you a brief note of thanks for the work you have done for the School in auditing our water bills and in identifying potential water saving measures for the future. I have been very impressed with the way in which you have worked with the School, causing minimal disruption and inconvenience to staff and in achieving real savings. I will certainly consider you for future work on our gas and electricity contracts next year and have passed your details on to our Director of IT Services to consider for telecoms.

We have no hesitation in recommending their services.
