Sean Boyd
Technical Director
Cardiff businesses get asked for security credentials earlier than most, because so much local work runs through the public sector and the insurance market. We help you clear that bar and prove it.
What to expect
Our average remote response is under 30 minutes in working hours, and monitoring flags plenty of issues before your team hits them.
Pricing starts at £39 per user per month and moves with your headcount. Nothing is billed per ticket.
We watch your systems overnight and at weekends, and build out-of-hours cover where your operation needs it.
If you hold client records we'll go through exactly how they're protected before you commit rather than after. You get a named lead who knows what you hold and why it matters.
How Support Works
Most problems get solved remotely, because that's the fastest route to a working laptop.
When something genuinely needs a person on site, we arrange a visit. We're honest about this: we're a remote-first provider with a South West base and engineers who travel, so we agree onsite visits with you rather than advertising a response time we'd be guessing at. In practice most Cardiff clients find they need us in the building for projects and hardware, not for day-to-day support.
How We Can Help
We run your technology so your team doesn't have to think about it. That covers the helpdesk your people ring when something breaks, the patching and monitoring that stops most things breaking in the first place, your Microsoft 365 estate, your security, and the hardware planning that means kit gets replaced before it fails rather than after. For Cardiff clients that often means getting certification-ready for public sector and housing association work, and supporting a workforce that commutes in from the valleys and the Vale.
We also handle the bigger moves. Getting off an ageing server, opening a new office, tightening security before a client audit, or working out what your technology needs to look like at twice your current size. See our managed IT services and IT helpdesk services.
Most Cardiff clients build on managed IT services, cyber protection and compliance, IT helpdesk services, cloud enablement, and IT consultancy. Which combination is right depends on what you already have in place and where you're heading, and that's the first thing we work out together.
We're a practical AI consultancy that cuts through the hype and only puts AI to work where it saves your team time and makes your business money.
We map the manual processes holding your business back and automate them, so your team can focus on growing the business rather than feeding the spreadsheets.
We move your systems to the cloud and keep them running well afterwards, so your team can work from anywhere and add capacity without waiting on a hardware order.
Your internal IT team knows your business better than anyone, and you want to keep them. Co-managed IT gives them a specialist partner behind the scenes, so round-the-clock monitoring and the heavy security projects stop landing on one desk.
We protect your business from attack and give you the documented compliance your clients and regulators now expect, so you can grow with confidence.
We turn the data you already have into answers you can trust and act on.
A fractional CTO gives your business senior technology leadership on demand, so the big decisions get the experience they deserve without the cost of a full-time hire.
We give you a clear, independent view of your technology, so every decision moves your business forward.
Your team should get unstuck in minutes, not lose half a morning to a laptop that won't connect. Our UK-based IT helpdesk gives them real engineers who answer fast, take ownership of the problem and keep it moving until it's properly fixed.
We give small businesses the kind of IT support that bigger companies take for granted, so your people can get on with the work that grows the business.
We keep your IT running and secure, then we keep making it better, so your people can focus on the work that grows the business.
The team
The same team looks after every city we cover, so the people here are the ones on Cardiff accounts. Each profile says what they work on and how to get hold of them.
Proof You Can Trust
We'd rather you verified us than took our word for it. We hold ISO/IEC 27001:2022, certified by UKAS, and Cyber Essentials, and we're a Microsoft Solutions Partner. We're also working towards B Corp certification, because how we run the business matters as much to us as what we sell.
More than 200 UK businesses trust us with their technology, with 24/7 monitoring and an average remote response under 30 minutes. You can read what clients say about us on Trustpilot, where we are rated 4.8 out of 5 from 160 verified reviews.
Our Process
We begin with a comprehensive audit of your current IT infrastructure. This detailed assessment reveals opportunities to improve performance, reduce costs, and strengthen security.
Based on our findings, we develop an IT strategy aligned with your business goals. Whether you need immediate support improvements or a long-term digital transformation roadmap.
Our experienced team implements agreed improvements with minimal disruption to your daily operations. We manage migrations, deployments, and transitions seamlessly.
IT support is an ongoing partnership, not a one-time project. We provide continuous monitoring, regular reviews, and proactive recommendations to keep your technology ahead of your needs.
Understanding the Area
Cardiff's commercial core has shifted towards the station. Central Square in CF10 1 is the newest Grade A cluster, with the BBC Cymru Wales headquarters and Hodge Bank. Callaghan Square holds Eversheds, AECOM, JLL, HSBC and Handelsbanken. Capital Quarter on Tyndall Street is genuinely SME-heavy, with serviced floors alongside the Development Bank of Wales, WSP and Public Health Wales.
The older professional layer sits around Churchill Way, Windsor Place and Park Place in CF10 1 to 3, full of small law firms, accountants and agencies. Cathays Park is the civic centre, with the Welsh Government, Cardiff Council and Cardiff University.
The working estates are east and north east. Ocean Park and Ocean Way in CF24 5 is Cardiff's SME workhorse, mixing offices and workshops. Cardiff Gate International Business Park in CF23 8 covers 100 acres at junction 30 of the M4 with more than 80 occupiers. Capital Business Park at St Mellons serves the east.
Insurance and financial services are Cardiff's genuine standout. Admiral was founded and is headquartered here, Confused.com sits alongside it, and Cardiff Capital Region material claims the region hosts three of Europe's top five online insurance aggregators. Add Principality Building Society, Hodge Bank and Legal and General's Cardiff operation and you have a deep local financial services base with the audit expectations to match. See fintech and financial services IT.
Legal and professional services around CF10 are core ground for us, from the large firms at Callaghan Square down to the dense tail of ten to eighty seat practices in the older streets. See legal practice technology.
We also work with charities, housing associations and not-for-profits, which have a strong presence in Cardiff and bring their own safeguarding and funder requirements. See charity and not-for-profit IT.
Cardiff is the only UK capital where the state is putting real money into lifting the local cyber baseline. The Cyber Innovation Hub, led by Cardiff University and launched in 2023, is backed by Welsh Government and Cardiff Capital Region funding, with partners including Airbus, CGI, Thales and Tramshed Tech. Its stated aims include training a substantial cohort of cyber-skilled people and growing the Welsh cyber sector significantly by 2030.
Combine that with the density of public sector organisations and the direction is clear. The questions Cardiff businesses get asked about their security are getting harder, not easier, and they're arriving from customers who increasingly know what a good answer looks like.
We think that's worth getting ahead of. We hold ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified by UKAS and Cyber Essentials, and helping firms reach and evidence those standards is ordinary work for us.
Fast response, real security, plain English. In Cardiff, the security question arrives earlier than it does in most cities, and it's worth being ready.
Public sector gravity is the reason. The Welsh Government, Public Health Wales, Companies House, Cardiff Council, the health board and the university are all here, and their procurement standards flow down into the private supply chain. A forty-person Cardiff firm bidding for Welsh public sector or housing association work faces certification demands that an equivalent firm elsewhere often doesn't.
So ask a provider what they actually hold, and who accredited it. There's a real difference between a provider who sells Cyber Essentials certification and one who has been independently audited themselves. Ask about ISO 27001 too, and whether the certification body is UKAS-accredited.

Common Questions
No. We're South West based with UK-wide reach, working from our office at Callow Park in Brinkworth, Wiltshire. Most support is remote with an average response under 30 minutes, and we travel to Cardiff for projects, hardware and planning work. We'd rather be straight with you than claim a local office.
Yes, and it's a common reason Cardiff businesses call us. Public sector and housing association procurement asks for evidence about your controls, and most of that evidence comes out of your IT setup. We put the controls in place, document them, and give you answers you can submit.
Yes. We put the technical controls in place and support you through certification. Worth checking separately whether any Welsh Government or Business Wales funding is currently open towards Cyber Essentials, since these programmes come and go. See cyber protection and compliance.
It's very common in Cardiff and it shapes how we set things up. When a large share of your workforce is on domestic broadband several days a week, security has to be built around identity and device rather than around the office network. We set it up that way from the start.
The CF10 city centre postcodes, CF24 around Ocean Park, CF23 at Cardiff Gate, CF14 to the north and CF3 to the east, plus Newport, Caerphilly, Barry, Penarth and the Vale.
Our average remote response is under 30 minutes, and monitoring means we pick up plenty of issues before you notice them. For work that needs someone on site we agree a visit with you rather than quoting a blanket arrival time, because honest scheduling beats a promise we might miss.
Pricing starts from £39 per user per month and scales with what you actually need. There's no per-ticket charge, so nobody in your team hesitates before asking for help. Send us your headcount and a rough picture of your systems and we'll come back with a costed proposal.
Less painful than most people expect. We document what you've got, take over in stages so nothing goes dark, work around your busy periods, and handle the conversation with your outgoing provider if you'd rather not have it. Most staff notice a new number to call and little else.
Yes, that's a large part of what we do. We become the IT department, and we explain decisions in plain English so nobody needs a technical background to sign them off.
Yes. Plenty of clients keep their own people and use us for out-of-hours cover, specialist projects and the strategic thinking, which stops one person carrying the whole business. That's what co-managed IT is built for.
Mainly 10 to 500 staff. Below that we can usually point you to something more proportionate, and above that we'd want a proper conversation about whether we're the right fit.
Yes. We put the technical controls in place and support you through certification. We hold ISO/IEC 27001:2022 through UKAS and Cyber Essentials ourselves, so we know what an assessor wants to see. See cyber protection and compliance.
Yes, and it's one of the more common reasons businesses call us. We document your controls and give you answers you can submit, rather than a technical export you have to translate first.
We monitor around the clock, and out-of-hours support is available where your business needs it. If you run shifts, weekends or overnight operations, tell us and we'll build cover that matches rather than selling you a nine-to-five service with an emergency number.
A short discovery call. We learn how your business runs and where technology gets in the way, then tell you plainly what we'd change. No obligation and no cost to that conversation.
