IT consultancy built on trust

Founded in 2008. Clients and deployments across continents. Honest technology advice. No theater.

Our story

We exist for one reason: to give organizations access to the kind of strategic technology advice that used to be reserved for the biggest enterprises.

Delivered with honesty. Without the theater.

Too many IT companies thrive on confusion. They sell complexity instead of clarity, and their business model depends on clients not understanding their own technology.

We take the opposite approach.

Every decision, every trade-off, every recommendation is explained in plain language. Informed clients make better decisions. Better decisions lead to better outcomes for everyone.

Our team has spent over fifteen years working across a broad range of sectors and geographies. Live broadcast events in the field. Defence operations in difficult terrain. Enterprise networks spanning multiple countries.

That breadth gives us a perspective most consultancies don't have.

We've seen what works. We know what doesn't. And we'll challenge conventional thinking when it doesn't serve your interests.

We work across time zones, cultures and regulatory environments. Our connectivity solutions have been deployed in some of the most challenging locations on the planet, from London to Lagos and beyond.

We're deliberately lean. No bench of underutilized engineers to keep busy. No vendor quotas to fill.

When we recommend something, it's because we genuinely believe it's the right answer for your organization. Not because we need to hit a target.

That's the difference between a vendor and a partner. It's also why our clients tend to stay with us for a very long time.


How We Got Here

2008

Quimera Technology founded

Registered in England & Wales on 16 July 2008 with a simple mission: provide honest IT consultancy that businesses can actually trust.

Early years

IT consultancy and growing expertise

Focused on IT consultancy for growing businesses. Built a reputation for straight talking and hands-on delivery across enterprise environments.

Expansion

Managed services and strategic leadership

Organizations needed board-level technology leadership without a permanent hire. We introduced the fractional IT director model and expanded into managed support.

Critical connectivity

Entering events, defence and maritime

Developed critical connectivity expertise using cellular bonding, SD-WAN and satellite. Deployed in harsh and temporary environments worldwide.

Today

The Tech Factory and Alchemy SIM

Unified our consultancy, support and connectivity services under The Tech Factory brand. Launched the Alchemy SIM managed connectivity platform with global reach across 190+ countries.


How We Work

Honest advice, even when it's uncomfortable. We'll always tell you the truth about your technology. If something's working, we'll say so. If the best advice is to do nothing, we'll tell you that too. We'd rather give you an honest answer than an easy one.

Strategy is meaningless without delivery. A roadmap in a slide deck doesn't fix anything. We work alongside your team to deliver real change, solve real problems and build real capability. Hands on the keyboard, not just hands on the whiteboard.

Partnerships, not projects. We take the time to understand your business properly. The longer we work together, the more useful our advice becomes. Our strongest client relationships are measured in years, and that's deliberate.
