Sean Boyd
Technical Director
Northampton doesn't work nine to five. When a scanner network goes down at two in the morning with a trailer waiting, an emergency number isn't support. We build cover that matches how you actually operate.
What to expect
Our average remote response is under 30 minutes in working hours, and monitoring picks up a good share of issues before anyone reports them.
From £39 per user per month, scaling with headcount. Nothing is charged per ticket.
Around Brackmills and Moulton Park plenty of operations run overnight. Monitoring is 24/7 as standard and we build cover around your shift pattern rather than bolting an emergency number onto a weekday service.
You deal with the same account manager throughout rather than whoever's free, which matters most when something breaks at three in the morning and nobody wants to start from scratch.
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 Northampton 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. In Northampton that usually means cover that spans nights and weekends, and network design for warehouses rather than offices.
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 Northampton clients build on managed IT services, IT helpdesk services, cyber protection and compliance, cloud enablement, and business process automation. 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.

Understanding the Area
Northampton's economy is shaped by the M1. Brackmills in NN4 is the anchor: 730 acres, around 150 companies and roughly 13,000 employees, five minutes from junction 15, mixing logistics and manufacturing with substantial office occupiers. Moulton Park in NN3 is the SME and light industrial heartland, alongside Northampton Science Park. Round Spinney in NN3, Grange Park in NN4, Swan Valley and Pineham, and Lodge Farm in NN5 fill out the rest.
The town centre in NN1 holds professional services and agencies, with Vulcan Works on Guildhall Road as a creative hub in a converted Victorian works, and the University of Northampton's Waterside campus nearby.
The logistics story is still growing. SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton at junction 15 connected its rail freight terminal to the West Coast Main Line in 2025, with the first train arriving that June and the whole scheme due by 2028.
Logistics and distribution define the local economy. Northamptonshire sits in what the industry calls the golden triangle of logistics, and Brackmills alone hosts operations for a long list of national names. Our work here is about availability and coverage: keeping a warehouse management system up, making sure handhelds work at the back of the racking, and supporting people who are never at a desk. See construction and professional services IT.
Financial services and payments have a real local presence too, anchored by Barclays' Northampton campus at Brackmills, which handles the group's card and payment operations. See fintech and financial services IT.
Manufacturing remains genuinely important, including the town's footwear industry, where several long-established makers still produce here. High-performance engineering sits nearby too, with the Silverstone technology cluster around twenty miles away.
This is the point most IT providers marketing into Northampton miss entirely. On an estate where the day is governed by collection cut-offs, the expensive failure isn't slow email. It's a warehouse management system, a scanner network or a label printer going down overnight with a loaded trailer waiting on the yard.
With SEGRO's rail freight terminal now taking trains at junction 15, that pattern is becoming more pronounced rather than less. Two things follow. Support windows and escalation have to genuinely span nights and weekends, not nominally. And the network estate you need managed is industrial: radio coverage over high racking, cameras, gatehouse systems and rugged devices rather than a floor of laptops.
We'd rather design cover around your actual operating pattern than sell you a weekday service with an emergency number attached. Tell us when you run and we'll build to it. Brackmills also became Northampton's first Business Improvement District in 2009, so there's a genuine business community on the estate rather than just a collection of units.
Fast answers and solid security, yes. But in Northampton the first question should be about hours.
On an estate like Brackmills the working day is set by carrier collection cut-offs, not by office hours. If your warehouse management system, scanner network or label printer fails overnight, you need someone who answers properly rather than an out-of-hours voicemail. Ask what genuine cover looks like, and what it costs.
The second question is about the kind of estate you actually have. Northampton IT is often sheds rather than desks: radio and Wi-Fi coverage over racking, yard cameras, gatehouse systems and vehicle-mounted devices. Plenty of providers steer away from that work without saying so. Ask directly.
Third, if you supply into a large customer, expect security questions and check your provider can answer them with evidence.

Common Questions
No. We're South West based with UK-wide reach, and we'd rather be straight about it. Most support is remote with an average response under 30 minutes, and we travel for projects and hardware work.
Yes, and in Northampton it's usually the first thing worth sorting out. Monitoring runs around the clock as standard, and we build out-of-hours cover around your actual operating pattern rather than selling a weekday service with an emergency number bolted on.
Yes. Radio and Wi-Fi coverage over high racking, handheld scanners, label printers, yard cameras and gatehouse systems are a different discipline from desktop support. We survey the building rather than assuming an office design will carry.
We won't claim to be the vendor, but we'll learn how yours behaves and support the infrastructure it depends on rather than handing you back to the supplier every time. Tell us what you run and we'll be honest about how well we know it.
NN1 to NN5 across the town and its estates, plus the wider county including Daventry, Towcester, Wellingborough, Kettering, Rushden, Corby and out to Silverstone.
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.
