Somerbys IT

20 years ago, Duncan joined Somerbys IT.

Two decades later, he's still here - still solving problems, still backing up our clients (and the rest of the team) when it counts.

That kind of loyalty says something about a person. It also says something about the company they choose to stay with.

Thank you, Duncan, for two decades of showing up 👏👏👏

Here's to many more. 🎉

99% CSAT last month 🎉

Not a vanity metric to us - it's what "IT support with a human touch" actually looks like in practice.

Every ticket, every call, every "can you just quickly look at this" - answered by someone who knows your business, not a queue number.

That's the difference between IT that's available and IT that's invested.

Proud of the team for keeping that number where it belongs, month after month. 👏👏👏

Confidence and trust - that's what IT support is really built on. 🌟

🎉 Happy Work Anniversary to our MD, Allan Page!

Today, we're celebrating an incredible milestone – 26 years of providing super-dupa IT support to businesses across the East Midlands.

Over the past 26 years, Allan has built a reputation for putting customers first, building long-lasting relationships, and helping businesses get the very best from their technology.

Here's to the next 26 years!

❗The news that the University of Nottingham has been hit by a cyber attack lands close to home for businesses across the East Midlands.

It's a reminder that the data we all hold: customer records, financial details, employee information, has become one of our most valuable assets, and that makes it a target. Not just for the big names. For organisations of every size, in every sector.

Here's the shift we'd encourage every business owner to make in 2026: stop asking "will it happen to us?" and start asking "how well would we cope if it did?"

Prevention still matters enormously. But the organisations that come through an incident with their reputation intact are usually the ones who'd already thought about the messy middle - who takes charge, how the team finds out, what happens when systems go dark, and how you keep customers informed when you're under pressure. Most importantly, whether any of that has ever been tested before the day it counts.

Resilience isn't a luxury bolted on after prevention. It's the other half of the same job.

If you hold sensitive data and you're not sure how your business would respond, that's worth a conversation - and a much calmer one to have now than in the middle of an incident. https://f.mtr.cool/dwuitjvief

The University of Nottingham has apologised to those affected for "any anxiety" caused.

Some of our clients just want their technology to work - and the quiet confidence of knowing they're protected from threats.

Others want a clear hand on the wheel: how technology can grow with them and support where the business is heading.

We do both.

And whichever camp you're in, every client gets regular business reviews - a proper sit-down to make sure you're happy with everything we're doing for you, and that your IT is still pulling in the right direction.

That's IT support with a human touch.

"What should we actually be paying for IT support?"

It's one of the trickiest questions to answer when you're planning next year's budget.

Hardware prices are climbing globally. Support quotes seem to vary wildly from one provider to the next. So how do you build a realistic number into your forecast - without sitting through three sales calls just to get a ballpark?

We can't change what's happening with global hardware pricing. But we can make the support side of your budget genuinely transparent.

Our online pricing calculator gives you a clear estimate in seconds:
✔ No sales calls
✔ No commitments
✔ Just an honest starting point

Five common trip-ups we see in Cyber Essentials assessments - all fixable before you submit:

1. "We have MFA — mostly." One user without it is an auto-fail.
2. The cloud app nobody mentioned. If your team uses it, it's in scope.
3. The old Windows machine in the corner of reception.
4. The ex-employee still sitting in your accounting software.
5. Patching that "usually" happens, with no report to prove it.

Our April readiness guide walks through all five, plus a full checklist you can work through yourself.
