What we do for Gatwick businesses

IT support for businesses in Gatwick

The Gatwick area is a business district of its own: aviation services, freight forwarders, logistics and courier firms, hotels and car parks, travel companies, and the office parks at City Place, Gatwick Road and along the Horley side of the airport. Shift patterns, 24-hour operations and systems that cannot be down at 5am are the norm, which rules out an IT provider that works office hours and hopes.

We are about 40 minutes away in Brighton. Monitoring runs 24/7, the helpdesk is staffed 08:30 to 17:00 and the out-of-hours arrangement is agreed in writing before you need it, not improvised on the night. The rare on-site job around Gatwick and Horley is a planned visit straight up the A23.

Logistics and aviation businesses here often have a head office near the airport and depots or offices elsewhere in the UK. One helpdesk, one monitoring platform and one contract across all of them, with on-site visits from Brighton here and through our nationwide engineer network elsewhere, is a normal fit.

Business IT support in Gatwick: what is included

One monthly price per user, from £35, that covers the things a business of 10 to 250 people actually needs. No call-out fees for remote fixes, no surprise invoices for patching.

  • Unlimited helpdesk, answered by an engineer, not a ticket queue
  • Monitoring and patching of every laptop, desktop and server, 24/7
  • Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace administration and licensing
  • Email security, multi-factor authentication and Microsoft Defender
  • Backup of Microsoft 365 and any servers, tested restores included
  • New starters set up and leavers closed down the same day
  • A named engineer who knows your setup, and a quarterly review
  • Single points of failure removed, or written down with a price so you can decide whether to accept them
  • The rare visit in Gatwick or Horley from our own engineers, planned rather than panicked

Why a Brighton company for Gatwick IT support?

Set up so you rarely need a visit

Most call-outs are the symptom of a set-up that was never finished: a server everyone depends on, a laptop that cannot be rebuilt remotely, broadband with no backup. We remove those first, so an engineer in Gatwick is the exception rather than the routine.

Single points of failure named, not hidden

Where a risk cannot be removed cheaply, we write it down, say what it would cost to fix, and let you decide whether to accept it. Nobody is surprised on the day it fails.

When something does need hands

Gatwick is about 40 minutes from our Brighton office up the A23 and M23, so an office move, a network install or a batch of new laptops is a planned visit from our own engineers. Businesses around Gatwick and Horley get the same helpdesk, monitoring, security and pricing as the ones on our doorstep. Firms with a Gatwick head office and depots elsewhere are a common fit.

How it starts

  1. 1Free IT Health CheckA short online check that benchmarks your security and business risk and tells you where you stand.
  2. 2Discovery callAn engineer, not a salesperson. We look at what you have, what is broken and what it would cost to fix.
  3. 3OnboardingPasswords, licences, domains, backups and monitoring move across on a plan, with no gap in cover.

Comparing IT support companies in Gatwick

Five questions separate providers on a call, wherever they are based:

  1. Who answers the phone?

    Ask whether your call goes to an engineer or to a ticket queue, and what the average time to a fix is, not just time to a first reply.

  2. Is security included or an add-on?

    MFA, Defender, patching and backup should be in the base price. If they are line items, the base price is not the real price.

  3. Who owns your admin accounts and domains?

    You should. If the provider is the registrant of your domain or the only Global Administrator, leaving becomes hard.

  4. What is the contract, and what happens at the end?

    Ask what the initial term is, what it rolls into, and what you can take with you if you leave.

  5. How often will you need them on site?

    A provider that visits every week is fixing symptoms. Ask what they would change so that you do not need them: managed devices that rebuild from the box, no single server everyone depends on, connectivity with a failover, and the remaining risks written down for you to accept or fix. Then ask what happens the one time hands are needed.

Our answers: an engineer, included, you, an initial term stated plainly on the quote with the handover written into our terms, and rarely, by design. The longer version is in how to choose an IT support company.

Questions Gatwick businesses ask us

Do you have an office in Gatwick?

No. We are based in Brighton, about 40 minutes away up the A23, and we are honest about that. Site visits are rare with us, not because of the distance but because the set-up removes most of the reasons for them: every device managed and rebuildable from the box, no single server everyone depends on, connectivity with a failover, and the risks we cannot remove cheaply written down for you to accept or fix. When something in Gatwick genuinely needs hands, an office move, a network install, a batch of new laptops, our own engineers drive to you, and our nationwide engineer network covers anything urgent we cannot reach.

How much does IT support cost in Gatwick?

Managed IT support starts from £35 per user per month, with security monitoring and backup included, and the price is the same whether you are in Gatwick or next door to our Brighton office. We quote after a discovery call so the number reflects your setup, not a price list, and there is no lock-in.

We run 24 hours. What happens when something breaks at 3am?

Monitoring runs around the clock and fixes a lot of things before anyone notices. For the rest, we agree an out-of-hours arrangement in writing before you sign, covering what counts as an emergency, how you reach us and what it costs, so there is no argument at 3am. We will not sell you a 24/7 helpdesk you do not need.

Can you take over from our current IT provider?

Yes. Switching is a normal part of what we do. We start with a free IT Health Check to see where you stand, then plan the handover so passwords, licences, domains and backups move without a gap in cover.

Do you help with Cyber Essentials?

Yes. We prepare businesses for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, and the settings it asks for (MFA, patching, device management, malware protection) are the same ones we put in place as standard.

Do you support Macs as well as Windows?

Yes. We support Windows and macOS, and manage both alongside iPhones and Android devices through Microsoft Intune.

We have offices in Gatwick and elsewhere. Can you cover all of them?

Yes, and that is a common fit. One helpdesk, one monitoring platform and one contract covering every site, with on-site visits from Brighton where we can drive to you and through the engineer network where we cannot.
