Luke, we think your ears might be burning. 👏

The praise has been coming in thick and fast this week, with clients recognising his quick responses, helpful manner and ability to get them back up and running.

When you’re running a busy, successful business, your day is already full. You’ve got customers to look after, people to lead and plans to deliver. An IT issue needs a fast response from someone who understands why it matters.

Someone who’s approachable, takes ownership and makes getting help feel easy.

That’s exactly what Luke has been delivering, and we’re proud to see our clients recognising it.

Thank you, Luke. Technical expertise matters but the person delivering it makes all the difference. 💙

From Exeter to South Africa. 🌍
A week well spent, and two colleagues we're incredibly proud of ❤️
Last week, our very own Joshua Page and Mark Runciman swapped their usual working week at Nexus for something quite different, volunteering with the brilliant Footprints Foundation in South Africa.

From painting and practical improvements to preparing food and supporting local community centres, they rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in alongside a fantastic team of volunteers.

And judging by the photos, they certainly worked hard (and got through a fair bit of paint!).

Taking two valued members of our team away from the business for a week is a commitment. But it's one we'd make again in a heartbeat.

Because while we're passionate about helping businesses grow, protecting their technology and supporting their success, we believe our responsibility goes further than that.

We want Nexus to be a business that makes a positive difference. To our people, our communities and, where we can, to the wider world.

Giving our team the time and opportunity to contribute to something meaningful is part of that commitment.

We're incredibly proud of Josh and Mark for giving their time, energy and enthusiasm to such a worthwhile cause. And a huge thank you to the Footprints Foundation and the local teams for the incredible work they do.

Business success matters. But so does what you do with it. 💙

Welcome back, Josh and Mark. You've done Nexus proud.

“In time, it could become negligent not to use AI.”

That was one of the standout messages from a fascinating afternoon yesterday, as we hosted an AI session on behalf of Devon & Somerset Law Society.

A huge thank you to Akber Datoo and his colleagues Daniel Heymann and Emran Datoo from D2 Legal Technology, who travelled down from London to share their insight into what AI means for law firms and the legal sector.

There were plenty of takeaways, but a few really stuck with us:
👉 Embrace the change. AI isn’t going away.
👉 Refine your prompts. The quality of what you put in matters.
👉 Trust, but verify. A secondary check is mandatory.
👉 Keep the human element. AI can enhance expertise, not replace human judgement.

A brilliant afternoon with lots of conversation, questions and food for thought.

Huge thanks to Akber, Daniel and Emran for making the trip, and to Tony Steiner and DASLS for bringing everyone together.

We’re really looking forward to working with Akber and the D2 Legal Technology team as we help clients navigate this new world with confidence.

AI is changing legal services. The opportunity is to embrace it, responsibly.

What a brilliant night at the Funder Games Pub Sports! 🎯🎱
Nice work Joshua Page and Mitchell Faulkner 👌
Pool, darts, plenty of laughs and some surprisingly competitive moments…
We’re incredibly proud to sponsor the Funder Games and help bring local businesses together to support Hospiscare.

Last night was exactly what these events are all about: stepping away from our desks, meeting people in a relaxed setting and enjoying some genuinely great networking, without it feeling like networking!

Lovely to see College, Simpkins Edwards LLP, progressive, Tozers LLP and Hilton Ames Ltd!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such a fun evening.

We also can't wait for the Funder Ball on 16th October, and tickets are selling fast!

Don’t miss what’s set to be a fantastic finale, all in support of Hospiscare. 🎟️

If someone gained access to your network at 11pm tonight, would you know before you opened your laptop tomorrow?

Most businesses already have security tools.

But tools alone don’t stop an attack. Someone needs to be watching them, spotting unusual activity, investigating it and responding before a compromised account or device becomes a much bigger problem.

That’s what our fully managed 24/7 Security Operations Centre does.

And it’s more accessible than many businesses realise: a straightforward monthly cost per user, without the expense of building an in-house security operation.

Your IT team doesn’t have to watch everything, 24/7.

But somebody should be.

If you’re not completely confident about what would happen overnight, let’s have a 20-minute conversation.

Your systems go down tomorrow morning. Who does what first?

A cyberattack, power cut or critical system failure doesn’t just create an IT problem. It affects your people, customers, suppliers and reputation and that’s when gaps in your planning quickly become visible.

Our business continuity checklist covers the practical questions every UK business should be able to answer, including:

• Which systems and services must be restored first?
• Who makes the decisions during an incident?
• How will you communicate if your usual channels are unavailable?
• When was your recovery plan last properly tested?

Having a plan on paper is a start. Knowing it will work under pressure is what really matters.

Use our checklist to see how prepared your business actually is:

Would your team spot a convincing phishing email on a busy Friday afternoon?

A rushed invoice request. A Microsoft 365 password warning. A message that appears to come from a director...

Phishing simulations help you find out how people respond in the real world and where extra support is needed.

A few tips for making them genuinely useful:

🎣 Use realistic scenarios based on the emails your team actually receives
🔁 Run simulations regularly, not just once a year
🎯 Give short, targeted training straight after someone clicks
📊 Track reporting rates as well as clicks - spotting and reporting a threat is the behaviour you want to build
🤝 Support repeat clickers rather than embarrassing or punishing them

The aim isn’t to catch people out. It’s to help them recognise a real attack before it causes damage.

We’ve explained how phishing simulation training works, what a good programme should include and what to measure here:

Three words from a client... probably the best compliment a professional services team can get.

Not because the work was easy.

But because the client didn't have to carry the stress of it.

In a world where everyone's calendar is full and their to-do list is growing faster than they can clear it, clients don't want complexity. They want experts who can take a problem off their desk, get it sorted, and keep things moving.

No drama. No endless meetings. No technical waffle.

Just results.

The best project delivery isn't about showing clients how hard the work is. It's about making the hard work feel effortless.

That's what great IT Support should look like in 2026. 💪

🏢 Multiple sites. Multiple users. Multiple security challenges.

That's why we're proud to have helped Greendale Group achieve Cyber Essentials certification, strengthening cyber security across its organisation and providing assurance that essential protections are in place across every location.

The reality is that Cyber Essentials becomes more complex as businesses grow. Our team specialises in helping multi-site organisations assess their security posture, address gaps and achieve certification efficiently, without unnecessary disruption.

Congratulations to the Greendale team on this fantastic milestone. 👏

⚽ Business networking really shouldn’t be this much fun…
Friday night saw the latest Funder Games event: football. And it’s fair to say things got slightly competitive. 😂

We had not one but TWO teams representing us – Nexus and the Nexus Misfits, in partnership with the awesome guys at Triangle Networks.

We brought along family and children to bolster our teams there was plenty of questionable footballing talent on display, and somehow the evening ended with the fixture nobody knew they needed…

Nexus vs Nexus Misfits in the play-off for the bottom spot. 🏆

And we’re delighted to confirm that Nexus brought home the bottom place win. We’ll leave you to decide exactly what that means. 😂

Joking aside, it was another brilliant Funder Games event (even despite the gutting news that our friends at progressive couldn't make it 😭 ) .

Local businesses getting together, having a laugh, bringing families along and building relationships away from the usual networking environment.

And the best bit? It’s all helping raise money for Hospiscare. 💙

Business networking really shouldn’t be this fun… but we’re very glad it is!
