Independent IT support for small businesses

Your IT department, without hiring one.

Most small businesses can’t justify a full-time IT person, but still need IT that’s set up properly and looked after. Whether you’re a growing team or working on your own, I take responsibility for your IT, bring it up to a professional standard and stay on hand as you grow. You always deal with me directly.

What I do

Think of me as your IT department, part-time. I take over your IT from wherever it is now, put it on a professional footing and look after it from there.

Automation and AI

Exploring practical ways to save time, cut manual admin and get more from your business information, using automation and AI where they genuinely help. See an example below

Working on your own? I can help too.

You don’t need an office or a team. I often help people running a business from home get the basics right: a Windows laptop that works properly, files saved safely in the cloud, backups that run, and home Wi-Fi you can rely on.
