P1 response SLA
On-site county-wide
Independently certified & audited
Most people don’t switch IT provider because something dramatic happened. They switch because the small things stopped being tolerable.
You want a person who knows your setup, not a portal and a ticket number that never turns into a visit.
Some problems need hands on the kit. Remote-only support leaves you waiting when the hardware or network is the issue.
Instead of helping the business grow, IT has become the thing you firefight, and it eats time you do not have.
When IT goes down, every minute is your team sitting idle, and a local provider who answers and turns up is the difference between an hour lost and a day lost. You raise an issue and reach a local engineer who already knows your systems. Things stop breaking in the same old ways, and when you do need someone on site, they are there the same day, not next week.
You reach a real person who knows your business, first time.
Same-day on-site help across Gloucestershire when you need it.
Your systems are monitored and maintained, not just patched when they break.
You stop being the unofficial IT person and get your time back.

Priority-1 response SLA
Contractual, day or night
Gloucestershire businesses*
Local, not a national desk
We hold our own IP address allocation, something very few IT firms of this size do. It means connectivity we control rather than resell, and none of the local competition can claim it.
Support, security, phones, connectivity and the physical infrastructure. One accountable partner solves the problems that otherwise fall between three or four suppliers.
No outside investors pushing upsells. We answer to our clients, not a distant board. In a market being consolidated by private equity, that matters more each year.
The same audited security standard we apply to how we run your IT, certified and independently audited, not just claimed.
Every ticket is prioritised, and every priority has a response time we commit to in your contract, the same at 3am on a Sunday as at 10am on a Tuesday. Most providers quote an SLA percentage without ever saying what they are actually committing to. Here it is, in full.
Priority 1 · 30-minute response
A critical system has failed and nobody can work; everything stops until it is fixed. For example: your server is down, the site has lost internet, a suspected ransomware incident, or the phones are dead.
Priority 2 · 1-hour response
A team or a key function is badly affected, but the business as a whole is still running. For example: a department has lost a shared system, email is badly delayed, or a key app is barely usable.
Priority 3 · 4-hour response
One person is affected, or you have asked us to change or set something up. For example: a laptop playing up, a password reset, a new starter to set up, or a printer that will not connect.
One team, one number, and the whole of your IT looked after, not split across suppliers who blame each other.

3CX VoIP · Manufacturing
A family-run manufacturer replaced end-of-life ISDN with cloud-hosted 3CX ahead of the PSTN switch-off, unifying mobile, deskphone, headset and video on one platform.
CCTV · Manufacturing
A multi-unit industrial site needed continuous visibility across its production operation, with cameras specified and installed to keep a 24-hour operation covered.
Air conditioning · Horticulture
A wholesale nursery had an office running dangerously hot, threatening a business-critical server. We specified a Fujitsu heat pump that held safe temperatures through a 40°C summer.
