Why teams anchor here

Everything Google gives you, plus the part Google doesn't.

Licences are the easy bit. What decides whether Workspace feels calm or chaotic is the migration, the DNS, the admin policy and who answers when something breaks at 03:00. That's the part we own.

Better commercials than buying direct

As a reseller we hold volume agreements you can't reach alone. Same Google-native product, on terms shaped around your headcount, renewal cycle and growth plan — reviewed together, not guessed at.

Annual or flexible terms · one consolidated invoice

Migration handled by people who've done it

Mail, calendars, contacts, shared drives and distribution groups move across from Microsoft 365, Exchange, IMAP or a legacy Gmail tenancy. We pilot first, sync in the background, and cut over on a night you choose.

Zero-downtime cutover · full history preserved

Deliverability configured properly

SPF, DKIM and DMARC written, published, verified — then monitored. We reconcile every third-party sender on your domain, move you to enforcement safely, and read the aggregate reports so you never have to.

SPF · DKIM · DMARC · MTA-STS · BIMI-ready

24/7 support from actual humans

A named account manager who knows your tenancy, backed by an always-on engineering rota. No chatbot mazes, no reciting your case number to a new agent each time. Escalation to Google when it truly needs Google.

Named contact · 24/7 rota · direct escalation path

Why buy through a reseller

Same Google. Far shorter path to working.

One partner, one invoice, one phone number

Licensing, migration, DNS, security policy, training and support all sit with the same team. Nothing gets lost in the gap between a vendor, a consultant and an IT contractor who each think it's someone else's job.

01

Migration from Microsoft 365 or Gmail

Exchange Online, on-premise Exchange, IMAP hosts or an old Gmail tenancy — mail, calendars, contacts, shared mailboxes and file shares move across with folder structure and permissions intact. Delegations and aliases are rebuilt, not retyped.

02

Admin console configured for your org chart

Organisational units, groups, delegation, sharing rules, device policy and app access set up to match how your company actually works. You get a documented configuration, not a default tenancy with everything switched on.

03

Deliverability that survives the audit

We inventory every service sending as your domain, publish correct SPF, rotate DKIM keys and walk DMARC from none to quarantine to reject without breaking your billing system or your newsletter.

04

Gemini AI in Workspace, rolled out sensibly

Enabling assistive AI is easy; making it useful is not. We scope which teams get it, set data-handling boundaries, run practical sessions on drafting, summarising and meeting notes, then measure real usage.

05

Local billing and clean invoicing

Invoices in your local entity's format, with your PO reference and cost-centre breakdown, so finance can reconcile per department. Renewals flagged well in advance — no surprise auto-charges on a forgotten card.

06

A dedicated account manager

One person who knows your domain, your history and your quirks. They run quarterly reviews, right-size licences before renewal, and are the same name on the thread whether it's a new starter or an outage.

How it works

Three steps from where you are to a calm inbox.

Most teams go from first conversation to fully migrated inside two weeks. Larger or regulated organisations run to a longer plan — either way you'll know the dates up front.

01

Scope and quote

A 30-minute call covering headcount, current provider, domains, compliance needs and any awkward legacy systems. You get a written recommendation and a quote tailored to your team.

Day 1–2
02

Build and migrate

We provision the tenancy, configure the admin console, publish DNS and authentication records, then sync data in the background. A pilot group runs live before anyone else is touched.

Day 3–10
03

Cut over and settle in

MX switch on an evening you pick, delta sync to catch late mail, then floor-walking support next morning. Training, documentation and your account manager stay with you afterwards.

Day 10 onward

What moves across

  • Full mailbox history with folder structure and labels
  • Calendars, recurring events and room resources
  • Contacts, distribution lists and shared mailboxes
  • File shares and SharePoint or OneDrive libraries
  • Aliases, delegations, forwarders and auto-replies
  • Signatures and per-department footer policies

How we protect the cutover

  • Pilot group runs live before the wider rollout
  • Dual delivery available during the transition window
  • Delta sync after MX switch so nothing is stranded
  • Old tenancy kept read-only for an agreed grace period
  • Documented rollback plan agreed before we start
  • Engineers on call throughout the cutover night

What your team experiences

  • A short guide sent before anything changes
  • Mobile and desktop reconfiguration instructions
  • Live floor-walking session the morning after cutover
  • Two recorded training sessions for Gmail and Drive
  • A named contact for questions in the first month
  • Follow-up review at 30 days to tidy loose ends
Security & deliverability

Mail that arrives. Data that stays where it should.

Inbox providers have tightened sender requirements sharply, and attackers spoof small domains more often than large ones. We configure the controls that keep your mail trusted and your tenancy locked down — then keep watching them.

SPF, DKIM & DMARC

Authentication records written, published and validated across every sender on your domain, moved to an enforcing DMARC policy in controlled stages and monitored monthly.

2-Step Verification enforced

Multi-factor rolled out with enrolment tracking, grace periods and backup-code handling. Security keys and passkeys for admins and any role touching payments or customer data.

Data loss prevention

Rules that catch card numbers, national identifiers and confidential documents before they leave the building — clear warnings for staff, not silent blocks that get worked around.

Admin controls & audit

Least-privilege admin roles, device management, context-aware access and alerting on suspicious sign-ins. Every change logged, reviewed and documented for your auditors.

  • Google Vault retention
  • MTA-STS & TLS reporting
  • Phishing & malware defence
  • Context-aware access
  • Endpoint & mobile management
  • Offboarding & data handover
Support

A quiet harbour is one where someone's always on watch.

Support isn't a tier you buy from us — it's the point of buying through us. Every client gets the same access, whether you run twelve mailboxes or twelve hundred.

A named account manager

One person who knows your setup, joins your quarterly review and picks up the thread without you re-explaining the history every time.

24/7 coverage, every day of the year

An always-on engineering rota for anything urgent — delivery failures, suspected compromise, lockouts — including weekends and public holidays.

Email, phone or shared channel

Reach us however suits your team, including a shared Chat or Slack channel if you'd rather not open tickets for small questions.

Direct escalation to Google

When an issue genuinely belongs with Google, we raise it through our partner channel and manage it end to end. You never chase a case number.

Client stories

The part people remember is the week nothing went wrong.

We'd been on Microsoft 365 for nine years and everyone assumed moving would be a nightmare. Port Cove piloted with our ops team, cut over on a Thursday night and by Friday lunchtime the only question anyone asked was where the calendar button had gone. Nine years of mail, all there.
Rhiannon AchebeHead of Operations, Tidewater Logistics
Our invoices were landing in spam and we had no idea why. Port Cove audited every system sending as our domain, found two we'd forgotten existed, and had DMARC enforcing within a month. Payment chasing dropped off a cliff. I wish we'd done it three years earlier.
Desmond MarekFinance Director, Northaven Foods
What sold us was that the same engineer who designed our organisational units still answers the phone eighteen months later. We've grown from 40 people to 210 and never once had to explain our setup from scratch. That continuity is worth more than the licence terms, honestly.
Ingrid KovačChief of Staff, Bellwether Labs

Questions we're asked most weeks.

Request a quote and we'll share pricing tailored to your team size. What you pay depends on the edition, your headcount, your commitment term and whether you need migration or ongoing managed support. We quote in writing, itemised, with nothing hidden in the footnotes — and we'll tell you honestly if a lower edition would serve you better.

No. We move complete mailbox history including folder structure, attachments, calendars, recurring events, contacts and shared mailboxes. Data syncs in the background while your old system is still live, and a delta sync after the MX switch catches anything that arrived during cutover. Your previous tenancy stays read-only for an agreed grace period, and we agree a rollback plan before a single record moves.

A team of under 50 people is usually fully migrated within two weeks of signing, with the cutover itself taking a single evening. Larger organisations, multiple domains, heavy shared-drive estates or regulated environments run to a longer staged plan — but you'll have firm dates before we begin, not a moving target.

The product is identical — the same Google Workspace, the same admin console, the same Google infrastructure. What changes is everything around it. As an authorized reseller we handle your licensing, run the migration, configure the tenancy, own your deliverability, invoice you locally and answer the phone ourselves. You get one accountable partner instead of a self-service portal.

Yes, and it's one of the most common reasons teams come to us. We start with a full audit of every system sending as your domain — CRM, invoicing, marketing tools, ticketing, that one legacy server nobody owns. Then we correct SPF, set up DKIM signing and move DMARC from monitoring to enforcement in stages so nothing legitimate breaks. Reports are reviewed monthly, summarised in plain English.

Message your account manager and new users are provisioned the same business day, pre-configured to the right organisational unit with the correct groups, sharing rules and device policy applied. Leavers are offboarded properly — mail delegated or archived, data handed to the right manager, access revoked cleanly. We review licence counts quarterly so you never carry seats for people who left in the spring.

Bring your email into a harbour that holds.

Tell us your current provider and roughly how many people you have. You'll get a written recommendation, a migration plan and a quote shaped around your team — usually the same working day.
