Why Leicestershire

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

Leicestershire is a big, varied county. Leicester itself is the largest urban centre and one of the more diverse city economies in the UK, with strong textiles, food and drink, and a growing space and tech sector around Space Park Leicester. Loughborough has the university and the engineering R&D that surrounds it. Hinckley sits close to the M69 / A5 junction, mostly residential plus light industry. Melton Mowbray is food production (Mowbray pies, Stilton). Market Harborough and the south leans professional services.

We work across all of it from our Coventry office. Hinckley is 25 minutes up the M69, Leicester is 35 minutes, Loughborough is around 50 minutes via the M69 to M1. Same-day on-site as standard everywhere in the county. For routine planned work we tend to combine multiple Leicestershire stops on a single trip up the M69.

The kit we deploy is what the larger UK MSPs run: SentinelOne and Huntress for security, Microsoft 365 with Intune and Entra ID, Cisco Meraki or TP-Link Omada for networking. Different sectors want different configurations. Food-production clients want clean traceability and segmentation. University-spin-out tech firms want clean Microsoft 365 from day one and proper identity. Manufacturers want OT kept separate. We handle all of it.

FAQ

Common questions from Leicestershire businesses.

Which Leicestershire towns do you have dedicated pages for?

Leicester, Hinckley and Loughborough have their own pages. The smaller towns (Melton Mowbray, Market Harborough, Coalville, Lutterworth, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Oadby, Wigston) sit under this umbrella and get the same service.

How quickly can you get to Leicester?

35 minutes from our Coventry office via the M69. For a real P1 inside business hours we're typically there inside the hour. Most issues are resolved remotely first time so we don't drive up for routine work.

Do you support university spin-outs and tech businesses?

Yes. Loughborough and Leicester both produce a steady stream of engineering and tech spin-outs. Spin-outs typically need clean Microsoft 365 from day one, sensible identity (Entra ID with MFA enforced), and a sensible security baseline so they can answer enterprise customer questionnaires when the time comes. We do all of that.

Can you support food-production clients in Melton Mowbray?

Yes. Food production has particular traceability, GFSI and BRC audit requirements. We handle the IT layer (clean Microsoft 365, MFA, segmented networks between office and production, off-site verified backups). For the food-safety side itself we partner rather than pretend to be specialists.

Are you a Microsoft Partner?

Yes. Microsoft 365 with Intune and Entra ID is our standard setup. Comfortable building tenants from scratch, migrating from Exchange or Google Workspace, and tightening up existing setups for Cyber Essentials Plus.
