Apogee Corporation Named Chosen IT and Telecoms Partner for Charities Buying Group Framework

The Charities Buying Group has selected Apogee Corporation as their chosen IT and Telecoms Partner, bringing comprehensive managed technology services to not-for-profit organisations across the UK. This partnership will enable charities to access enterprise-level solutions whilst maximising their limited resources and ensuring more funds can be directed towards their vital missions.

Formed in 2002 to address the lack of support charities receive with purchasing issues, the CBG uses collective buying power to reduce costs whilst maximising value. By 2004, they were commended in Parliament for helping their first 255 members achieve savings of over £1 million in their first year.

Through this new partnership, charity organisations on the framework will gain access to Apogee's full suite of managed IT and telecoms services, addressing the unique challenges facing the not-for-profit sector.

"I am pleased to announce our new partnership here at the Charities Buying Group with Apogee. We have both been working on providing the best IT and telecoms solutions for our membership and this is now available. We look forward to a long-lasting relationship for the benefit of our membership,"
Michael Hodgetts, CEO of Charities Buying Group.

Through the CBG framework, Apogee offers charities a complete suite of managed IT services designed to address their unique operational needs. These include Device as a Service (DaaS) for accessing contemporary IT equipment through manageable monthly payments, comprehensive cyber security services to protect against increasing cyber threats, managed telecoms solutions for secure business communications, and Estate Review & Analysis to optimise existing technology infrastructure. Each service is tailored to help charities maximise their limited resources whilst ensuring they have access to enterprise-grade technology that supports their vital work.

Charity IT teams are often plagued with resource shortages, resulting in repetitive, low-value tasks dominating operations whilst strategic initiatives remain untouched. Apogee's managed workplace services free up internal teams to focus on what's truly important.

"This partnership represents a fantastic opportunity for charities to transform how they manage, secure, and utilise their technology. These services are designed to boost value whilst minimising expenditure of resources, which not-for-profits desperately need."
Sam Procter, Apogee's Director of Managed IT Services.

Apogee already works with charitable organisations including Barnardo's, Change Grow Live, Milestones Trust, and Northern Ireland Hospice.

By partnering with Apogee through the CBG framework, not-for-profit organisations can expect significant cost reduction through collective buying power, enhanced productivity with contemporary devices, improved security posture, reduced IT burden on internal teams, and better cash flow management.

With over three decades of experience and as an independent subsidiary of HP Inc., Apogee brings enterprise-grade resources to the charity sector. This partnership represents a significant step forward in democratising access to professional IT and telecoms services for not-for-profit organisations across the UK.
