We want clients for the long haul. We're honest, transparent and fair, and we pull out all the stops so our clients know we're a rock they can always lean on. We want to compete on quality not price. That's why it's vital we all keep our knowledge up to date, jump on the opportunity to learn something new and help our colleagues master new skills. We want happy staff. I believe people who see opportunities ahead of them feel motivated, and that people whose managers listen to their ideas and praise their achievements feel fulfilled. We design computer and technology systems, meaning we plan everything from the hardware to the wiring to the software and hosting in the cloud. We also carry out the installation work, providing all the equipment and setting it up. We do this for schools and other large organisations at the building stage, or when major expansion or change is happening. We work a lot with the Department for Education and with major building companies. We are also the managed services provider through our IT helpdesk and onsite engineers for hundreds of businesses, schools and other organisations around the UK. We supply new equipment when they need it and we keep everything working. We have customers throughout the country, and employees located to support them.
