Who we work with

Since 2009 we have worked with further education colleges, sixth forms and multi-academy trusts, local authorities running training across networks of schools, defence and security organisations that need technology they can trust, and businesses that want the same open-source reliability without the enterprise price tag.

We are signatories to the Armed Forces Covenant, hold Cyber Essentials, and host in ISO-certified UK data centres. Most of our work comes from recommendation, which is why the same colleges have stayed with us for over a decade.

We are based in Telford, Shropshire, and deliver across the UK, on site where it matters and remotely where it does not.
