Senior, independent IT help for businesses in Ormskirk — cloud, security, networking and phone systems, plus fractional IT leadership. Roughly fifteen minutes away, on-site at no extra travel cost.
Working with Ormskirk businesses
Ormskirk has a high concentration of professional practices — solicitors, accountants, dental and veterinary surgeries — alongside independent retail and the university. Those are businesses where client confidentiality and regulatory obligation matter, which is squarely the environment I have spent my career in.
Professional firms in particular are increasingly being asked security questions by their own clients and insurers, and often have no one able to answer them. That is work I do routinely, including taking a business through Cyber Essentials certification.
What I help Ormskirk businesses with
- Fractional IT director — senior IT leadership a few days a month
- IT and provider assessments — an independent view on whether you are getting value
- Security and Cyber Essentials — hardening and certification support
- Microsoft 365 — setup, migration and tidying up
- Azure and cloud migration — off ageing servers onto something manageable
- Networking — firewalls, wi-fi and multi-site connectivity
- Phone systems — reviews and cloud voice migrations
- Ad-hoc IT support — a senior pair of hands when you need one

Why use an independent rather than a managed provider
Managed providers do a genuinely useful job, but they are selling a monthly contract and every recommendation carries that incentive. I am not reselling anything and I do not want a three-year commitment. If the honest answer is that your current setup is fine, I will tell you that.
You also deal with me directly rather than a rotating helpdesk. Same person every time, someone who currently runs an IT function for a living.
Costs
Ad-hoc work is £85 an hour or £450 a day, projects start at £750, and fractional IT leadership runs from £350 a month. No VAT to add. Full guide prices are published openly.
Response times: within 2 hours during working hours, and never more than 24 hours.
