Active Data Installations has been operating as a successful business for over Fifteen years. Our team comprises highly experienced, professional, and considerate individuals who are well-versed in the specific environments and businesses in which we work. The company is led by Mike Newbold and Dan Morphy, who together possess over forty years of industry expertise.

Dan Morphy and Mike Newbold began their careers as trainees at a Milton Keynes-based network cabling company. Dan joined in 1994, while Mike joined in 1998. Both quickly advanced to senior engineer positions, taking on responsibilities for managing a wide range of network installations. Their projects spanned from single data outlets in GP surgeries to complete fibre backbone upgrades in hospitals.

To enhance their skills and knowledge, Dan and Mike became BICSI approved installers. They maintained this accreditation by regularly attending training courses, including Fluke Networks cable analyser training and various vendors' cable installation and testing programs.

With their continuous progression, Dan and Mike transitioned to the systems/networking side of the business. Initially, their roles involved wireless surveying and the preparation of wireless survey reports, along with desktop support for small to medium-sized businesses. Over time, they deepened their expertise in enterprise wireless deployments and solutions from vendors such as Symbol, Cisco, Aruba, and Fortinet, working closely with senior network engineers.

In 2007, Mike left the company and established ADI, initially subcontracting to existing cabling companies. He built a reputation for delivering high-quality installations and maintaining flexibility to accommodate customer needs. Alongside our own customer base, ADI undertakes cabling installations for Cisco gold partners heavily involved in the healthcare sector and Aruba Platinum partners engaged in the education sector.

Dan's role evolved into project management, where he successfully managed major accounts, including IBM/Boots and 3Com. During this period, he obtained Cisco CCNA certification and passed the Advanced Wireless Specialist exam, further solidifying his expertise in wireless technologies.

In 2015, Dan became a co-director of ADI, bringing his extensive experience in cabling, wireless solutions, and project management to the company. In October 2019, he achieved another milestone by becoming one of the few individuals in the country to pass the Advanced ECSE (Ekahau Certified Survey Engineer) exam, thereby enhancing his Wi-Fi knowledge. Meanwhile, Mike focused his efforts on the cabling side of the business, obtaining the CNet Certified Network Infrastructure Design Professional (CNIDP) certification.

With our leadership's diverse skill sets and qualifications, ADI is well-equipped to provide comprehensive solutions in both cabling and wireless networking domains.
