Carlisle
One accountable team for Carlisle's firms.
Carlisle is the commercial heart of Cumbria and the border country, with a base of independent accountancy, advisory and SME firms serving a wide rural hinterland, a less saturated market than the big cities. We have offices in Edinburgh and London, and Edinburgh is little more than an hour up the road, so we can be on the ground when it helps and remote the rest of the time.
It has a quiet place in industrial history. Carr's of Carlisle mechanised biscuit-making in 1831, applying printing-press technology to food, an early piece of factory automation. Tell us where your IT and security are now, and we will tell you what good looks like.

faq
IT support in Carlisle, answered plainly
We have offices in Edinburgh and London, and Edinburgh is little more than an hour away, and we look after firms right across Carlisle and Cumbria. Day-to-day IT and security are run remotely by the same team that knows your environment, and we are on the ground in person when it helps.
Most day-to-day IT and security is run remotely. When something needs hands on a machine, we draw on a trusted network of vetted on-site engineers, our smart hands, who come to your office to set up devices, make changes and handle the physical work, alongside our team. You get someone on site when you need it, not just a phone line.
Independent accountancy practices, financial advisers and SMEs, typically of five to fifty people, across Carlisle and Cumbria. The common thread is that they are regulated or handle sensitive data, and want IT and security run as one accountable job rather than split between suppliers.

Carlisle mechanised the biscuit
Automation, 1830s
Jonathan Dodgson Carr founded his Carlisle bakery in 1831 and adapted printing-press machinery to stamp and cut biscuits, one of the earliest examples of mechanised food production. The Carr's water biscuit is still made today.
