At Lumina, we don’t treat company values and behaviours as mere checkboxes to tick off. Instead, we’ve diligently cultivated a culture that is rooted in these principles, making them the foundation of who we are.

Our Most Prized Values and Behaviours:

  • Professional: To us, professionalism means more than just technical expertise; it’s about how we conduct ourselves on-site when visiting a client, at our office and in our communication.
  • Respectful: We understand the impact that IT issues can have on your business. We prioritise understanding your needs by actively listening and ensuring our engineers take full ownership of your issue from start to resolution.
  • Resourceful: In the world of technology, challenges are inevitable. Our engineers are exceptionally resourceful, enabling them to tackle complex technical problems and optimise resources to avoid unnecessary expenses.
  • Reflective: We’re not content with the status quo. Our culture of continuous improvement and self-reflection fosters learning, adaptability, and accountability. Monthly meetings with our engineers and technical management keep us on the path of progress.
  • Family: As a tight-knit team in a small business, we collectively embrace the concept of ‘family.’ To some, family can be a controversial value, and we have discussed this at length with the team, and all have agreed that we wanted to keep it. Everyone at Lumina contributes to creating a positive and inclusive workplace environment that we’re proud to be a part of.

Being an IT engineer at Lumina is about more than just technical skills. Our IT Support team consists of highly professional and competent engineers who continuously undergo customer service skills training. We maintain transparent communication throughout the resolution process, ensuring you’re informed at every step.

No matter which department they’re in, all our team members uphold these values and principles.

At Lumina, these values aren’t just words on paper; they’re the driving force behind our dedication to exceptional service and continuous growth. We’re not just our clients’ IT solution; we’re their trusted partner on their journey to success.

Richard and his team are a real inspiration to anyone who meets them and I have watched Lumina’s growth over the last few years with interest and admiration. Richard has been an amazing supporter of the Hospice of St Francis, being a Gold member of the Corporate Partner Network for almost two years. He takes an active interest in the community and is passionate about his company and his town: nothing is too much trouble, he is always willing to help, to give up his time and to provide business advice when asked. Lumina is an inspiration to any company wanting to set up business in Hertfordshire.

The commercially sensitive and regulated nature of Lambert Energy Advisory’s business requires an IT provider able to maintain the highest levels of integrity and confidentiality, Lumina Technologies has consistently been unimpeachable in this regard over the nine years we have employed them.

It has been a great pleasure working with Lumina Technologies over the past two years. They have fully committed to being involved in the local community with volunteering and with professional advice and commitment, helping many local charities along the way. As a growing company it proves that being involved in the local community is helping them attract and retain a talented workforce and I look forward to working with them well into the future.

Hawkstone Management Services Ltd is a small company for which IT Outsourcing is realistically the only viable option. Lumina Technologies have successfully performed this role for over fifteen years. They also provide innovative solutions to keep pace with technological progress. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lumina to similar sized businesses.

Charles Douglas Solicitors LLP have been using Lumina Technologies for a number of years now and continue to be impressed by the technical know-how and contemporary knowledge of their senior management, who provide a timely, efficient and friendly service. Whether it is a small issue with one computer, or a strategic IT decision, they maintain a current knowledge of available technologies. Lumina are always at the other end of the phone to help resolve issues and minimise business interference. The technical knowledge of Richard and his senior team means that there has not been a problem that they can’t solve to date. I am sure we will continue to use them in the years to come.

Richard and his team at Lumina have provided Perrett Laver Limited with high quality strategic and practical IT Services for over ten years. During this period, Perrett Laver has grown from 10+ colleagues based in London to nearly 100 colleagues located in six offices across the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific. Richard and the Lumina team have not just been responsive to our ‘everyday’ IT needs, but have proactively sought to work with us on developing an infrastructure suitable for the type of operation we are today, and are planning to be months and years down the line. I would not hesitate to recommend Richard, especially for small to medium size business with growth in mind.

Society Limited has been supported by Lumina Technologies since our earliest start-up phase. From large logistical challenges like an office move, through to smaller fiddly issues like fixing a faulty e-template, we know we can count on their support and advice. They’ve also been able to engage with us strategically on the challenge of scaling-up our infrastructure as the firm continues to grow and evolve. We always feel confident going to Lumina with a problem, since we know they genuinely care about sorting things out and helping us to get on with our core business.

We worked with Lumina on a GDPR Audit. Richard was knowledgeable and professional throughout, and did the best he could to bring a dry topic to life through lots of real life examples and analogies. We were so impressed with the service Lumina provided and the value we got from partnering with them on this project – we couldn’t recommend them enough.

Holly Cottingham, Vintec Laboratories

We’ve been so well supported by Paige and the Lumina team. They’ve been highly professional, very responsive, friendly, supportive. It’s really validated the decision to engage an IT partner, and we’re glad it’s with Lumina.
