Here’s how my day went…

A proper mix of the day-to-day MSP hustle and some longer-term value-building work:

• Password resets, application updates & computer restarts
• Microsoft 365 tenant and licence management
• Asset management and device end-of-life planning
• Light disaster recovery (thankfully the client had listened and we had solid cloud backups ready)
• Ransomware & phishing attempts successfully blocked
• New starter onboarding
• Fresh proposals sent out
• R&D time building automations & workflows (internal + client-facing)
• Web development progress
• Further CRM audits with recommendations delivered
• AI development and knowledge base expansions
Quite the varied day! Really grateful to be able to support our clients through all of this while still carving out time for innovation.

If you’re running into any of the above headaches — Microsoft 365 headaches, security concerns, automation opportunities, or just need a reliable IT partner — feel free to drop me a message. Always happy to have a no-pressure chat and see how we might be able to help.

Managed to stay hydrated through it all… now looking forward to cracking on again tomorrow! 💧

Just back from some good conversations with other local business owners.

The themes that keep coming up are the same ones we’ve seen for years — keeping things secure without it becoming overwhelming, and making sure technology actually helps rather than hinders.

Always interesting hearing what’s on people’s minds.

AI is everywhere in the news, but for most SMEs the real win comes when it sits on top of decent basics (MFA, patching, backups, sensible access).

Anyone experimenting with tools in Microsoft 365 or elsewhere?

Microsoft 365 prices are rising for some plans in July.

A good time to ask yourself: are we on the right licence for what we actually need — especially around security?

Happy to share thoughts if anyone’s reviewing theirs at the moment

Quick thought for SME owners:
With the recent updates to Cyber Essentials, MFA on all cloud services (including Microsoft 365 and any third-party tools) is now much harder to overlook.

It’s one of those controls that sounds simple but trips people up when systems have grown organically over time.

Anyone else recently had a look at their full list of cloud logins?

Right, confession time…
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve walked into an office and spotted the sacred Post-it note on the monitor with “Password123!” proudly displayed for all to see.

Or the classic: someone rings up saying their computer’s “completely broken”… only to discover they just needed to plug the power cable back in.

We’ve all been there (or had that awkward conversation).
What’s your best (or worst) silly IT habit or “facepalm” moment you’re willing to admit to?

Whether it’s password-related, reboot-related, or something even dafter – share it below. Let’s have a laugh and remind ourselves why the basics still matter.

I’ll kick us off… after two decades in IT, I still occasionally find myself staring at a perfectly working machine wondering why it’s not doing what I expect, only to realise I’m looking at the wrong bloody screen. Every. Single. Time.

We support businesses across Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire.

While much of today’s IT support can be delivered remotely, there’s still real value in working with a team that understands the local business landscape and can be on site when it matters.

Our clients value:
• Familiar faces and consistent support
• Clear, straightforward communication
• Long-term relationships, not short-term fixes

Our focus is on providing reliable IT support that grows alongside the businesses we work with.

Most IT risks don’t come from dramatic cyber attacks or obvious failures.

They usually come from small things that haven’t been reviewed for a long time:
• Old user accounts still active
• Inconsistent security settings
• Backup assumptions that were never tested
• Systems that have quietly evolved without oversight

None of these are unusual.
They’re simply what happens when IT grows organically alongside a business.

Good IT support isn’t about fear or perfection.
It’s about understanding what’s in place, where the gaps are, and addressing them calmly before they turn into real problems.

Now that the busiest period has passed for many accountants, it’s often the right time to review IT and security.

Client ID, financial records, and access controls all deserve a second look when things slow down.
