Grovelands Business Park – is situated off Boundary Way, one of the principal routes onto the large and successful Maylands Business Area of Hemel Hempstead.

Modern Networks are unknown to the office staff in our business because, to date, the service has never failed, stuttered, or slowed down. Our Business is 100% connectivity reliant because we host our own VoIP, 90+ site VPN, web, and database servers. Modern Networks were happy to allocate us IPv4 address space with this connection and so far, (2 years uptime), connectivity has been more reliable than our two Tier 3 Data centre colocations and vastly more reliable than a business broadband line installed by one of the major players. Thank you, Modern Networks!
