Why Birmingham

The local picture, written by people who actually live here.

Birmingham is the UK's second city and a huge mix of everything. Finance and legal in Colmore Row. Creative and design studios in the Jewellery Quarter. Manufacturing and engineering in Tyseley and Witton. Universities, hospitals, hospitality and a lot of growing tech businesses. The HS2 work and the wider city-centre redevelopment have pulled even more business into B1 to B5 over the last few years.

We work across B1 through B98 from our Coventry office, about 30 minutes up the M6. For the city centre we routinely run a single trip up the M6 covering multiple clients in Colmore Row or the JQ on the same day. For Tyseley, Erdington, Selly Oak and the wider Birmingham boroughs we're inside the same-day window without much fuss.

The kit we use is the same we run for our Coventry clients: SentinelOne and Huntress for security, Microsoft 365 with Intune and Entra ID for productivity and devices, Cisco Meraki or TP-Link Omada for networking. Different sectors get configured differently. Finance firms want FCA SYSC and conditional access. Creative studios want big-file workflows and Mac fleets. Manufacturers want OT segmentation. We do all of it.

FAQ

Common questions from Birmingham businesses.

How quickly can you be on-site in Birmingham?

For a real P1 inside business hours, typically inside the hour from Coventry depending on which side of the city you're on. The M6 is the obvious route. Most issues are closed remotely on first contact so we don't end up driving up for routine work.

Do you support businesses in Colmore Row or the Jewellery Quarter?

Yes. The professional-services firms in Colmore Row tend to need FCA SYSC, SRA-aligned controls or CE Plus for tender work. The JQ creative studios want big-file collaboration, mixed Windows and Mac fleets, and the security controls publishers and brand clients ask for. We support both patterns.

What about the NEC corridor and Birmingham Business Park (B37/B40)?

Yes, that area is one of our regular runs. From Coventry it is about 25 minutes via the A45, so it sits comfortably inside our same-day window. We work with several firms across B37 and B40.

Are you a Microsoft Partner?

Yes. We run Microsoft 365, Intune and Entra ID across the client base. Comfortable building a tenant from scratch, migrating from Google Workspace or on-premise Exchange, and tightening up an existing setup with Cyber Essentials Plus and conditional access.

How are you different to a Birmingham-based MSP?

Honest answer: if you want to drop into the office for tea, a Birmingham-based MSP is closer. If you want the security stack the largest UK MSPs deploy at a sensible per-user price, with a UK helpdesk that picks up in 40 seconds and a Coventry team that's 30 minutes up the road, we're worth a conversation.
