With all Advance-Galatrek's Platinum service customers, the company promises to arrive within 4h of callout, and an engineer arrived at the MOD's Malvern depot in under an hour.
Once there, the Advance-Galatrek engineer made an analysis of the defective unit - a third-party uninterruptible power system, and was informed that this was a mission-critical component in the mains power supply to none other than Number 10 Downing Street.
The maintenance and retest were promptly carried out, and the unit returned to active service before 11.00pm - just two hours and forty minutes after the initial call was received.
