Replace the IT Headache With a Team That's Always On
Hiring a full-time IT person costs £50,000 or more a year before you add employer NI, pension, training, tools, and the inconvenient fact that one person can’t cover holidays, sickness, or the breadth of skills a modern business needs.
Outsourced IT support gives you an entire team – helpdesk, engineers, cybersecurity specialists, and a virtual IT director – for a fraction of the cost. Under 15-minute response times. 24/7 monitoring. CISSP-certified security. One fixed monthly fee.
The MD fixes the printer. Someone’s nephew set up the server. Nobody’s managing cybersecurity, backups, or updates. Everyone wastes time on IT problems that shouldn’t be their problem.
Outsourcing fixes this:
You get a full IT department from day one. Helpdesk, monitoring, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365 management, and strategic IT planning.
Scenario 2: You Have One IT Person and They're Overwhelmed
What's happening:
Your IT person is reactive – constantly firefighting. No time for projects, planning, or proactive maintenance. When they’re on holiday or off sick, nobody covers.
Outsourcing fixes this:
Either fully replace the role, or partner your IT person with our team. They handle the strategic work; we handle the helpdesk and day-to-day support.
Scenario 3: You've Outgrown Your Current IT Provider
What's happening:
Your break-fix provider was fine when you had 10 staff. Now you have 40, and they can’t keep up. Response times are slow. Cybersecurity is an afterthought. There’s no proactive monitoring.
Outsourcing fixes this:
We replace your current provider and bring proper structure – 24/7 monitoring, cybersecurity, documented processes, and quarterly reviews.
Scenario 4: You're Growing Fast
What's happening:
You’re adding staff, opening offices, moving to the cloud. Your IT needs to scale without hiring an army.
Outsourcing fixes this:
Add users to your plan. We handle onboarding, device setup, and infrastructure scaling. No recruitment delays, no training time.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Outsourced IT Support
How much does outsourced IT support cost?
Our plans start from £45 per user per month. Every plan includes unlimited helpdesk, 24/7 monitoring, cybersecurity, and Microsoft 365 management. We provide a clear quote within 24 hours.
Is outsourced IT support better than hiring someone in-house?
For most businesses with 10–200 employees, yes. You get a full team (helpdesk, engineers, security, strategy) for less than the cost of one in-house hire. No holiday gaps, no sickness cover issues, and a broader range of skills.
Can we keep our in-house IT person and outsource the rest?
Yes. Many of our clients have an internal IT lead who handles strategic projects while we provide the helpdesk, monitoring, and cybersecurity. It’s a common and effective model.
How long does the transition take?
Most transitions from a previous provider take two to four weeks. We manage the entire process, including parallel running, to make sure there’s no gap in service.
What if we're not happy with the service?
Our contracts include a break clause. We don’t lock you into long commitments because we don’t need to – our retention rate speaks for itself. We keep clients because we deliver, not because of contracts.
Will our team notice a difference?
Yes – for the better. Under 15-minute response times. Real engineers answering the phone. Issues resolved on first contact 98.7% of the time. Most teams tell us it’s the best IT support they’ve ever had.
