Our history

Proactive is in our DNA.

We were founded in 2002 as an alternative to the traditional break-fix IT suppliers we saw around us. If you can prevent from something going wrong before it impacts the user or your business, why wait?

Today, we go beyond that - we deliver secure IT services 24/7/365. We work with customers to transform the role of IT within their organisations so that it becomes a business enabler.

We've grown alongside our Customers

We proudly partner with many of the UK's most well-known, well-loved brands. From restaurants and retailers to not-for-profit organisations, from financial services to education institutions, our success is aligned to that of our customers - in everything we do, we put the needs of our clients first.
