Our services

Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

Four services built around one principle: your technology should work for you. Every engagement starts with listening.

IT consultancy

Independent IT Consultancy

You've got a technology decision to make and you need someone in your corner who doesn't have a product to sell. That's us.

We don't have a single-vendor allegiance. We recommend what fits. Sometimes that's a cloud migration, sometimes it's keeping your on-prem setup for another two years because the migration cost doesn't make sense yet. Context matters.

Whether it's a full infrastructure audit, a cybersecurity posture review, or working out which of three competing vendors is actually telling you the truth, we bring the clarity you need to make a decision you can defend.

  • Technology strategy and roadmapping
  • Infrastructure audits and health checks
  • Cloud readiness assessments
  • Vendor selection and procurement support
  • Business continuity and disaster recovery planning
  • Cybersecurity posture reviews

Strategic leadership

Virtual IT Director

Most growing organisations reach a point where technology decisions start landing on the desk of someone who doesn't have time to evaluate them properly. The finance director ends up choosing the ERP system. The ops manager ends up negotiating the broadband contract.

A virtual IT director fixes that. We attend your board meetings, own the technology roadmap, manage vendor relationships and take responsibility for outcomes. Not quarterly check-ins, genuine, ongoing involvement in how your business uses technology.

We've done this for organisations from 30 people to 500, across multiple countries and time zones. The model scales because it's built around your decision-making rhythm, not ours.

  • Board-level technology representation
  • IT governance and planning
  • Vendor management and negotiations
  • Technology risk management
  • Digital transformation leadership
  • Team development and mentoring

Managed support

Managed IT Support

There's a specific kind of frustration that comes from explaining your setup to a new helpdesk person for the fourth time. We don't do that. You get named engineers who know your cloud tenant, your backup schedule, your printers, your pain points.

The proactive side matters just as much. We monitor your systems, apply patches, verify backups and catch problems before your users even notice. When something does go wrong, we already know your environment well enough to fix it without a twenty-minute preamble.

We're not the cheapest managed support provider and we don't pretend to be. What we offer is reliability and competence from people who genuinely know your business.

  • Helpdesk and remote support
  • Proactive monitoring and maintenance
  • On-site engineering when needed
  • Cloud platform administration
  • Backup management and verification
  • Patch management and security updates

Critical connectivity

SD-WAN, Bonded 4G/5G and Global IoT SIMs

A single broadband line is a single point of failure. When that line goes down, and it will, eventually, your entire operation stops. Card machines, VoIP, email, cloud apps, everything.

Alchemy SIM is our managed mobile data platform. Multi-network SIMs bonded into one resilient connection, with private APN options for organisations that need dedicated, secure data paths. Failover happens in under a second. Your users won't notice.

We deploy this for event venues, construction sites, defence operations, offshore platforms and any fixed location that needs a backup connection they can actually rely on. Multi-network IoT SIMs and M2M data across 190+ countries.

  • Bonded multi-network 4G/5G
  • Automatic failover and load balancing
  • Rapid deployment for temporary sites
  • SD-WAN and VPN integration
  • IoT and M2M multi-network SIM cards

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you start?+

For consultancy and vITD engagements, we can usually begin within a week or two. Managed support onboarding typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on the complexity of your environment. Alchemy SIM can be operational within 48 hours for standard configurations.

Do you work with organisations outside the UK?+

Yes. We have clients and deployments across multiple continents. For consultancy and vITD services, we work across time zones via video and periodic on-site visits. Alchemy SIM has coverage in 190+ countries.

What size organisations do you work with?+

Most of our clients have between 20 and 500 staff, though we also work with smaller organisations on specific projects. The common thread is that technology is important enough to their business that getting it wrong has real consequences.

Are you tied to any particular vendors?+

No. We recommend the technology that fits your situation. We have deep experience with a wide range of platforms and technologies, but we don't have sales quotas or vendor incentive programmes that would bias our advice.

What does a typical engagement cost?+

It varies by scope. A focused consultancy project is typically a fixed fee. A vITD engagement is typically a monthly retainer. Managed support is priced per user or per device. We'll always give you a clear quote before any work begins, no surprises.

Not Sure Which Service Fits?

Most of our clients end up using more than one. A quick call is usually enough to work out where we'd be most useful. No obligation, no hard sell, we've been doing this long enough to know that pressure doesn't close good deals.
