Corporate Virtual Firewall
Our firewall service removes the need for a customer to install their own hardware firewall. It allows them to host services from their office which need to be accessed from outside of the office – for example, an email server.
We also offer dedicated bandwidth to customers in our hosted buildings because, for some businesses, a shared connection isn’t always sufficient to keep their network services online and performing at the right levels. Dedicated bandwidth guarantees access to a fixed amount of bandwidth which is unaffected by increased usage of other businesses in the building.
Our standard offering for dedicated internet access is as follows:
10 Mbps – £250 per month & £500 installation fees
25 Mbps – £350 per month & £500 installation fees
50 Mbps – £450 per month & £500 installation fees
100 Mbps – £600 per month & £500 installation fees

Session Overview
Breathing is the only way that we can consciously control our autonomic nervous system, it has the power to calm us down, wake us up, pull us out of a funk, help us sleep better, feel better, manage emotion better and generally get better at this old thing called life. In this session, Lucy will give you a brief introduction into the magic of breathing properly but rather than just stick with the science, you’ll also dive into a few breath practices which you can use to give yourself an energy boost, help you sleep at night and help you get centred before that big pitch at work. The secret is all in the nose.
About Lucy
Lucy spent close to 10 years working in sales on the trading floor at two US investment banks but made the difficult decision back in 2020 to take a leap into the unknown and start over again which she wrote (and embarrassingly went viral) about here. Having secretly struggled with the pressures of juggling corporate life with a drive to find purpose, she spent a lot of time on her commutes diving into the world of self development, eastern philosophy and psychology in an effort to better manage her mind & find some sense of purpose. This journey led her to qualify as a yoga teacher back in 2019 whilst she was still working in finance and then subsequently as a Reiki practitioner, Breathwork facilitator, Ayurvedic consultant & coach. She is now working as a transformational coach, helping people transform their thinking, and in turn their lives, through deep guided self-reflection blended with bodywork, yoga & breath.
