GML has been supporting Nicholas Anthony, the leading kitchen retailer, with all aspects of its IT infrastructure for the past eight years.

The systems encompass five showroom locations, the newest of which being the flagship Poggenpohl showroom at Harrods, plus head office, specialist contracts division and data centre facilities.


Each location employs technology connecting it via the network to the other showrooms and to central servers reliably and securely.
