We'll only use your details to respond to your enquiry. No spam, ever.
You are not committing to anything
The most common reason people hesitate on a page like this is not price. It is not knowing what happens next, and whether one email turns into being chased. So, plainly: there is no contract to sign to have the conversation, no minimum term attached to an assessment, and no obligation afterwards.
If we run an assessment for you, you keep the written findings whether or not you engage us, and you are free to hand them to another provider. That is a term of how we work, not a courtesy. We would rather tell you a piece of work is not worth doing than sell you a project that does not fix the problem.
- Monthly or annual, your choice. Monthly is one month's written notice; annual commits you to the term.
- You keep the written output whether or not you engage us.
- We will tell you if a competitor, or doing nothing, is the better answer.
A person reads it, and you get a straight answer
Enquiries sent between 9:00 and 17:30, Monday to Friday, are answered the same working day. Anything arriving overnight or at the weekend is picked up the next working morning. If it is already clear what you need, you get a direct answer and, where relevant, a scope and a price. If it is not clear yet, we will ask for a short call to work out what the real problem is before quoting anything. There is no sequence of follow-up emails and no mailing list.
If you are an existing client with something urgent, call +44 (0)1482 770583 rather than using the form. The phone reaches an engineer; the form reaches an inbox. Cover outside office hours is available through a managed contract or as standalone on-call support for teams that already have internal IT.
34% Azure spend saved
How a continuous cost-optimisation programme recovered around a third of a client's Azure spend, funded from waste rather than capacity.
Read what we actually didA growing UK business. Our case studies are anonymised at our clients’ request, so they name no client and no sector.
Four ways in, and what each one is for
You do not need to know which of these you want before getting in touch, and the form is the same either way. They are set out because most people find it easier to say what they need once they can see the options, and because each one answers a different worry.
You have no IT function, or one stretched person
The worry is being trapped: a long contract, a provider who goes quiet after month three, and no clean way out.
Start with the walkthrough. We show you the monthly report a client actually receives, before you buy anything, because you cannot judge patching discipline from adjectives on a website.
See what arrives every monthYou have a team, but you are blocked on one question
The worry is paying for a document nobody acts on. It is the dominant failure mode of IT consultancy and everyone in the industry knows it.
Fixed scope and price agreed before anything starts, ending in a decision and a named output rather than a survey. If our answer is that you should not spend the money, that is the answer you get.
How the consultancy worksThe work is real but the volume is irregular
The worry is paying a retainer for months you barely use, or scope creeping into an open-ended day rate.
Buy a pack of days up front and call them off in half days, for support, projects or development. Unused days do not evaporate at the end of the month.
How call-off days workYou have won the work and need the skill in the room
The worry is a subcontractor who behaves like a competitor in front of your client.

How white-label delivery worksCommon questions
What am I actually committing to by sending this?
Nothing. There is no contract to sign to have the conversation, no minimum term attached to an assessment, and no obligation to buy anything afterwards. If we run an assessment for you, you keep the written findings whether or not you engage us, and you are free to hand them to another provider. That is a term, not a courtesy.
How quickly will I get a reply, and from whom?
Enquiries sent during office hours, Monday to Friday 9:00 to 17:30, are answered the same working day. Anything arriving overnight or at the weekend is picked up the next working morning. A person reads it, not an autoresponder sequence, and you are not added to a mailing list or chased by anyone.
What happens after I submit the form?
If it is clear what you need, you get a direct answer and, where relevant, a proposed scope and a price. If it is not yet clear, we ask for a short call, usually 20 to 30 minutes, to work out what the actual problem is before quoting anything. We would rather tell you the work is not worth doing than sell you a project that does not fix it.
Is the assessment really free, and what is the catch?
It is free and there is no obligation. It is worth our time because a review usually surfaces something specific and costed, and a proportion of the businesses we show that to decide to fix it with us. If yours does not, you keep the findings anyway. That is the whole mechanism, and there is nothing else behind it.
Do I have to be near Hull or Yorkshire to work with you?
No. The office is in Brough, East Yorkshire, and we attend sites across Yorkshire and into Greater London, but the majority of Microsoft cloud, security and licensing work is delivered remotely. We have clients who have never needed an engineer on site.
We already have an IT provider. Is it awkward to talk to you?
No, and it is a common reason people get in touch. A second opinion on a renewal, a licensing bill or a security posture does not commit you to changing anything, and plenty of these conversations end with us telling someone their current arrangement is fine. If it is not fine, you will have something specific to take back to them.
Can you help outside normal office hours?
Yes, through a managed contract with out-of-hours cover, or as standalone on-call cover for businesses that already have an internal IT team. See out-of-hours IT support for how that is bought separately.
