Our History
Paul and David met in Leeds whilst working at one of Europe's leading hosting providers. Together they designed, built and supported the network, migrating from an entirely 3rd party provided solution to having a 100% in house managed infrastructure, including the launch of UK based Data Centres.
They have always had a belief that IT should be seamless and work for you. Businesses and people should be excited about how you can utilise the latest technologies to simplify your day to day tasks and gain insight into your own business or lifestyle. Rather than being seen as a frustration that must be wrestled and maintained, technology should be seen as a liberating tool that can help you focus on what really matters to your business.
