IT support for small businesses in Bolton

Reliable, plain-English IT support for offices, shops and sole traders, your outsourced IT support without the long contracts or the call centre. Fast fixes when something breaks, proper setup when you grow, and you deal directly with me, not a ticket queue.

No long contracts Remote or on site Often same day

What I look after

Fast fixes

When a computer, printer or system stops working and the business cannot wait.

Email & Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace set up and migrated, professional email, plus account and access headaches sorted.

Networks & wi-fi

Reliable internet and wi-fi across your office or shop, no dead spots.

Devices & setup

New machines set up right, old ones upgraded, staff ready to work on day one.

Backups & cyber security

Automatic cloud backups, plus practical cyber security: protection against scams, viruses and ransomware.

Beyond the fixes

When you are ready, I also automate the admin that eats your week.

Why local businesses use me

One person, direct. No ticket queues or account managers. You message me, I answer.

No long contracts. Use me ad hoc, or a simple monthly arrangement if you want cover. Your choice.

Plain English. You will always understand what I did and why.

Right-sized. Built for one-person firms up to about twenty staff, the businesses big IT companies ignore.

Common questions

Do I need a contract?

No. You can use me ad hoc, just when something needs fixing or setting up. If you would rather have ongoing cover, I can arrange a simple monthly agreement, but nothing is forced and there are no long lock-ins.

Do you work remotely or on site?

Both. Many problems can be fixed remotely the same day, and I come to your office or shop across Bolton and Greater Manchester when hands-on work is needed.

What size of business do you support?

Small businesses: sole traders, offices and shops, typically from one person up to around twenty staff. Big enough problems, small enough to be ignored by the big IT firms. That is exactly who I look after.

How fast can you respond?

Often the same day. Being local and independent means no ticket queues, you message or call me directly and I will tell you straight away when I can look at it.

Do you cover the towns around Bolton?

Yes. As well as Bolton itself, I look after small businesses across the surrounding towns, including Farnworth, Horwich, Westhoughton, Kearsley, Radcliffe, Little Lever, Walkden and Atherton, and the wider Greater Manchester area. Remote support reaches anywhere; on-site visits cover Bolton and the towns around it.

Can you take over from my current IT provider?

Yes. If your current IT person has gone quiet, retired, or you have outgrown them, I can take over and look after everything going forward. There is no contract to escape, and I get up to speed on your setup before anything changes so nothing breaks in the handover.
