Originating in 2010 and formed in 2013, we have been successfully building our company on good old fashioned principles; honesty, integrity and second to none levels of service.

Our mission is to simplify the provision of IT support and services to SMBs, schools and home users. Technology is such a fast moving environment that it is nigh on impossible for existing/potential customers to decide what is the best solution; it is our ‘role’ to bridge this knowledge gap and offer solutions that are ‘tried and tested’ as well as undertaking bespoke project work upon request.

A few words from some of our recent clients

From start to finish the whole process was fast and efficient. Great communication and creative with ideas. I now have the professional looking website that I was unable to create myself. This is something I should of looked into from the start, as I have a better web presence after using this service. Would highly recommend….

Mark 1 IT Solutions have been providing a high level of quality technical support to our company since January 2016. The support has included provision of equipment, server maintenance, as well as consultancy in a timely and cost-effective way to meet the needs of our business.
Mark, the Director, has always proven to be accessible and his team wholly reliable, taking away any worries we may have had in an area that is vital to so many businesses in today’s world.
I would recommend Mark 1 IT Solutions as an all-round IT provider without hesitation.

Lee Fry, Director, B & M Associates

We had explored various options for our IT support but it was only when we spoke to Mark 1 that we felt we had found a company that not only understood our needs but they were also interested in getting to know our school and what we are trying to achieve. We have always found them to be professional and easy to contact, nothing seems to be too much trouble.
Since starting their work with us we have been particularly impressed by their level of technical competence. They have unearthed problems that we were not even aware of and have made vast improvements to the speed and stability of our network. They have also helped us to save money through auditing our provision and ensuring that we do not pay for more software licences than we need. We have no hesitation in recommending Mark 1.

Starting with the thank you for even the smallest issues solved quickly and ending with a bigger thank you for you saving the day!

Kimberley Smith, Director, Effekt Ltd

Today 01/11 /2017 two engineers from Mark1it Solutions arrived onsite at the time requested, they were instructed to carry out an office move which included rerouting cabling to our existing server (which Mark1it had installed previously). Both engineers from Mark1it solutions were helpful and accommodating, even though we were painting and moving furniture around them while they were working. The job was completed within the time allocated and we will continue using their services as we have done for the past few years.
