Case Study: A.F. Blakemore & Son Ltd achieves centralized endpoint security, better visibility and £300,000 cost savings with Kaspersky Lab

A.F. Blakemore & Son Ltd - Customer Case Study

A.F. Blakemore & Son Ltd, a major UK family-owned food manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer with over 8,000 employees and hundreds of SPAR stores, faced a fragmented IT security estate after acquisitions and divisional autonomy. Multiple vendors, inconsistent tools and varying contracts created management overhead, risk and extra cost, so the company selected Kaspersky Lab—initially deploying Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Select (and later Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business) to standardize protection across its estate.

Kaspersky Lab implemented a single, centralized endpoint security solution and management console, rolling out from an initial 1,000 licenses to about 3,500 after the Capper & Co merger. The consolidation gave A.F. Blakemore full visibility and control, eliminated cyber threat–related issues, delivered fast technical support and reduced administration, and generated measurable savings of more than £300,000 in subscriptions and other costs over five years.
