Managed IT / IT support Berkshire

An outsourced IT department for Berkshire businesses.

We run a service desk with an engineering bench from our office at Unit 6, 60 Portman Road in Reading, and our engineers travel across the county for on-site work.

  • A service desk and engineering bench, so support never depends on one person being free.
  • On site across Berkshire from our Reading base, with remote support nationwide when that is faster.
  • Engineers who answer the phone and know your setup.
  • Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 support in house, not subcontracted.

FAQ

Common questions

Which Berkshire towns do you cover?

All of them. We provide IT support across Reading, Slough, Maidenhead, Windsor, Ascot, Bracknell, Wokingham, Newbury, Thatcham and Hungerford, on site from our Reading base, and remote support anywhere in the county. If you are just over the border in the wider Thames Valley, we cover that too.

Where in Berkshire are you based?

We are based in Berkshire. Our staffed office is at Unit 6, 60 Portman Road, Reading, and our engineers know the county and can be on site across Berkshire. See our Reading IT support page for the detail.

How much does IT support in Berkshire cost?

Managed IT support is £65 per user per month, excluding VAT, with endpoint and identity threat detection included as standard rather than charged as an extra. Volume discounts start at twenty users, and longer terms cost less. What you add to it, servers, firewalls, Wi-Fi, backup and certification, is priced as its own monthly line. See our pricing for the full rate card and what changes the figure.

We are a small business. Are we too small for you?

No. A lot of our Berkshire clients are SMEs from around five people upward. Co-managed and fully managed options mean we scale to fit.

We are switching from another provider. How disruptive is it?

We take over access in a controlled handover, put monitoring and security in place, and plan the move to minimise disruption for your team. We give you a realistic timeline once our initial audit has shown us what we are taking on.

Can you handle Cyber Essentials and compliance for a regulated Berkshire business?

Yes. We are Cyber Essentials Plus certified and a Cyber Essentials certification body, and we are certified to ISO 27001 by a UKAS-accredited certification body, so we support businesses in regulated, finance and defence-supply work. Preparation and formal assessment are distinct services, and we will tell you which one you need. See our cyber security and governance and audit practices.
