IT support for small businesses in York

Most of the businesses we look after are small and medium-sized firms without their own IT department. You get the same standards a large company would expect, from an ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials certified team, without paying for a full-time IT person. Start with pay-as-you-go and move to a retainer or managed contract as you grow.

Managed IT support explained

Managed IT support means we look after your IT proactively for a fixed monthly fee, rather than waiting for something to break. It covers all support requests from your staff, device management, ESET antivirus, and software and patch management to keep your systems secure and up to date. Pricing is based on your users and systems, so you only pay for what you have.

Remote and on-site IT support

Most problems are fixed remotely within minutes: your staff call or message our helpdesk, and an engineer connects securely to their computer. When something needs hands-on work, such as a server, network or new equipment, our engineers come to you from our office in Osbaldwick. Remote support is available anywhere in the UK, so staff working from home are covered too.

Support is available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm. Out-of-hours support is also available, charged at a different rate.
