Our History
We've been helping businesses to accomplish more since 2024.
OUR TIMELINE
2004
We incorporated the business and hired our first team member - laying the foundations for everything that’s followed.
2005
We shared a corner of the office with Waterfront Solicitors - just two desks and a lot of ambition. We are proud to say they are still a client today.
2006
We moved into our first proper office in Hatton Garden and won the contract to support our first barristers’ chambers.
2007
We embraced virtualisation, migrated our datacentres to VMware, and joined 10,000 others at VMworld in San Francisco - our first major tech conference, and a big step into the future of IT.
2008
We opened datacentre operations in the Isle of Man and Geneva, and grew to a team of 10 – steady progress, built on solid foundations.
2009
We achieved ISO 27001 certification – a key milestone in our commitment to security and doing things properly.
2010
We moved into a bigger office (still in Hatton Garden) and grew to a team of 15. Paul won our first office pool tournament - and, to his credit, held the title for one more year (but not since!).
2011
With Microsoft Office 365 now ISO 27001 certified, we became one of the first UK companies to migrate. We also formed our dedicated Cloud Infrastructure Team.
2012
We took the whole team sailing in Croatia - our first big company trip. We also attended our first Citrix Summit in Barcelona, keeping close to the latest in tech.
2013
We went sailing in Croatia again - with a bigger team we needed a bigger boat.
2015
Our final sailing trip to Croatia – with the biggest boat yet – was a great send-off for the tradition. It was also time for Paul to hang up the captain’s hat, having realised that skippering the whole team around the Adriatic isn’t the most relaxing summer holiday.
2016
The team kept growing – we reached 25 people, with more talent and energy than ever.
2017
We launched our own festival – InstaFest – taking over a field in Herefordshire for a weekend of music, fun, and time out with the team and their families.
2018
We began our move to Microsoft Azure, migrating all clients from Private Cloud in just 12 months. We also launched our Automation and AI project team to explore what’s next.
2019
We attended Microsoft Ignite in Florida for the first time, joining 30,000 others at the event – five of us, and barely a mention of AI. How things change.
2021
We went sailing again - this time on the south coast with three boats... and absolutely no wind. Still a great time, just not much sailing.
2022
We hit 50 team members – growing steadily while staying true to our values and culture.
2023
Ignite returned in person, this time in Seattle – and we were there. AI was definitely mentioned... every other word, in fact.
2024
We rebranded - and for the first time in 21 years, we’re not blue! A fresh new look that reflects who we are today and our ambition for what’s to come.
2025
We moved into a new, bigger office - a fitting milestone as we turned 21. With 75 brilliant people on the team, it feels like we’ve properly come of age.
