The right IT equipment, set up and ready to use

We source business grade laptops, desktops, servers, printers and networking equipment, set them up properly before they reach your desks and look after them through to secure disposal.

At a glance

  • Business grade equipment, sensibly specified
  • Delivered set up and ready to use
  • Asset tracking and warranty management
  • Secure data wiping and disposal

Honest advice

We recommend equipment that suits each role, not the most expensive model. Sometimes the right answer is upgrading what you already have.

Laptops and desktops

Business grade laptops and desktops, including HP equipment through our HP Business Partner relationship, chosen to last and to be supported.

Servers and storage

Where a server still makes sense, we specify, build and install it with the right storage, backup and warranty.

Printers and peripherals

Printers, monitors, docking stations, headsets and the other bits that make a desk work well.

Ready to use

Devices arrive with updates installed, security software running and Microsoft 365 and your applications set up.

Secure disposal

Old devices are securely wiped of data before they are recycled, so your information does not leave with them.

IT hardware

Equipment that works from the first login

Buying a laptop from a high street shop or online marketplace might seem simple, but it usually means consumer models, a home edition of Windows, hours of setup and no record of what you own.

We take care of the whole process. We help you choose the right equipment, order it, set it up with your software and security, deliver it and get the user started. We keep a record of every device and its warranty, and when it reaches the end of its life we wipe it securely and dispose of it responsibly.

Hardware supply works hand in hand with our managed IT support, so new devices are protected and monitored from day one.

How it works

From first conversation to fully looked after

Recommend

We talk about who will use the equipment and what for, and recommend suitable models with clear pricing.

Order and build

We order the equipment, then install updates, security software, Microsoft 365 and your business applications.

Deliver and handover

We deliver and set up devices at your premises or ship them to remote staff, and help each user get started.

Track and retire

Every device goes on your asset register with warranty details, and is securely wiped and disposed of at end of life.

Why business grade hardware matters

Consumer laptops are designed to be cheap on the shelf. Business models are designed to be reliable over several years of daily use. They tend to have better build quality, longer warranty options, management and security features, and parts that remain available for longer.

Business models also come with a business or professional edition of Windows, which you need to join devices to Microsoft 365 management, use full disk encryption and apply security policies. Upgrading a home edition later costs time and money.

That does not mean the most expensive option. We specify equipment that suits each role: a reliable mid range laptop for most office staff, more power for people working with large spreadsheets, design files or video, and rugged options where devices get a hard life.

Set up before it reaches the desk

A new laptop straight out of the box needs hours of work before it is ready for business use. We handle all of it:

  • Installing the latest Windows and driver updates.
  • Removing unwanted preinstalled software.
  • Installing endpoint protection and our monitoring tools.
  • Enrolling the device in Microsoft 365 and Intune where your licences include it.
  • Installing Office apps and your business applications.
  • Enabling disk encryption and security settings.
  • Setting up printers, shared files and email.
  • Transferring files and settings from an old device where needed.

The result is a device your team can sign into and start using straight away. For businesses on Microsoft 365 Business Premium, much of this can happen automatically when the user first signs in, which is ideal for remote staff.

Servers, networking and printers

Fewer small businesses need a server than used to, as files and email move to the cloud. Where one is still the right answer, for example for certain line of business software, we specify it with suitable storage, redundancy and warranty, build it and install it with backup from day one.

We also supply and configure network switches, firewalls and WiFi access points as part of our network services, and printers and multifunction devices that are set up to work for everyone, including people printing from laptops and phones.

Asset tracking and warranties

It is surprisingly common for a business not to know exactly what equipment it owns, how old it is or when the warranty runs out. That makes budgeting hard and can cause problems for Cyber Essentials, which expects you to know what devices are in scope.

We record every device we supply, along with who uses it, its serial number, purchase date and warranty. That record feeds into your IT roadmap, so you can see what is due for replacement and plan spending in advance rather than being caught out. When a device under warranty fails, we deal with the manufacturer for you.

Secure data wiping and disposal

Old computers, phones, servers and printers can hold a surprising amount of sensitive data: client files, saved passwords, email and scanned documents. Simply deleting files or resetting a device is not always enough.

When equipment reaches the end of its life, we securely wipe the storage or remove it for destruction, then arrange responsible recycling. We keep a record of the devices disposed of, which helps you show you have handled personal data properly under UK GDPR.

Repair, upgrade or replace?

Not every slow computer needs replacing. Sometimes more memory, a faster drive or a clean rebuild gives a device a few more useful years. But devices that no longer receive security updates from their manufacturer, or that cannot run a supported version of Windows, need replacing for security reasons. We will give you an honest view on each device.

Planning replacements in advance

Replacing every computer at once is expensive and disruptive. A better approach for most businesses is to replace a portion of devices each year, so spending is spread out and nothing is left running far beyond its useful life. Your asset register and IT roadmap make this easy to plan, and we will remind you well before devices need replacing.

Which laptop brands do you supply?

We supply a range of business brands and are an HP Business Partner. We recommend models based on the role, budget and how long you want the device to last.

Yes. We can fully configure a laptop and ship it to a remote worker, or, with Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Intune, have it set itself up when the user first signs in.

What happens to our old computers?

We securely wipe the data or remove the drives for destruction, then arrange responsible recycling, and we keep a record of the devices disposed of.

It depends on the model and how it is used, but a good business laptop typically gives several years of service. The key point is replacing devices before they stop receiving security updates.
