👋 Meet the Team Monday!

Next up is Paul Smith, Director of Business Solutions at AME Solutions.

Paul spends his days helping businesses work smarter by improving processes, making better use of technology and finding solutions that deliver real business benefits.

When he's not helping customers, you'll probably find him:

🎸 Playing guitar
🎣 Fishing somewhere in the South West
🧠 Competing in local pub quizzes
🎬 Watching the latest film release
🍻 Spending time with family and friends

It's fair to say Paul knows a thing or two about solving problems, whether it's in business or trying to remember the answer to a pub quiz question! 😄

💬 Let's test everyone...

🤝 Why do so many businesses continue to trust local IT support providers?

Technology is about more than fixing problems when they arise.

Many organisations value having a trusted technology partner who understands their business, their team and their long-term goals. From reliable day-to-day IT support to cyber security, Microsoft 365 and staff training, a local provider can offer advice and support that's tailored to the way your business operates.

We've explored some of the reasons why local IT support continues to matter in our latest blog.

🎣 Could your team spot a phishing email?

Phishing emails are designed to look genuine and often appear to come from trusted organisations, colleagues or suppliers.

Before clicking a link or opening an attachment, take a moment to look for common warning signs:

⚠️ Unexpected requests for urgent action
⚠️ Suspicious links or attachments
⚠️ Unusual sender addresses
⚠️ Poor spelling or grammar
⚠️ Requests for passwords or sensitive information

Cyber criminals are constantly refining their methods, which is why staff awareness remains one of the most important lines of defence.

💭 What is the biggest giveaway that an email might be a phishing attempt?

🔒 It's Cyber Security Awareness Month

Cyber threats continue to evolve, but many attacks still succeed because they exploit everyday habits, weak passwords, phishing emails and simple mistakes.

The good news? Small changes can make a big difference.

Throughout October, we'll be sharing practical cyber security tips, advice and insights to help businesses improve their security and better protect their people, data and systems.

✅ Strong passwords
✅ Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
✅ Staff awareness training
✅ Software updates
✅ Cyber Essentials certification

These simple steps can help reduce the risk of becoming a victim of cyber crime.

📼💾 Remember floppy disks?

Workplace technology has come a long way.

From floppy disks, fax machines and dial-up internet to cloud storage, video meetings and working from virtually anywhere, the way we use technology has changed dramatically over the years.

What was once considered cutting-edge is now a distant memory, and it makes you wonder what today's technology will look like in another 20 years.

💭 What's the oldest piece of technology you remember using at work?

Was it a floppy disk, fax machine, pager, dot matrix printer or something else?

🧡🖤 A great result for Broadclyst U13s! 🖤🧡

3–1 winners against Exmouth Casuals, with Isaac grabbing an impressive hat-trick! ⚽️⚽️⚽️

A big well done to Louis on being named Players’ POTM, and to Otto & Isaac for Coaches’ POTM 👏

As proud sponsors of the Broadclyst U13s, we’re delighted to support the team and see the boys enjoying their football and doing so well.

Well done boys keep it going! 🧡🖤

🧡🖤Broadclyst U13's🖤🧡

Exmouth Casuals 1 vs 3 Broadclyst
Isaac ⚽⚽⚽

Great performance from the boys today on a big, hard pitch. Whilst free flowing football wasnt the order of the day the boys had to battle hard and adapt.

Some superbly taken goals relieved some pressure and the boys got a deserved victory.

Players POTM: Louis
Coaches POTM: Otto/Isaac
