IT support in Brough
Brough is around eleven miles west of our office, straight down the A63. Close enough for regular on-site work, and far enough out that a lot of providers quote for it and then never come.
Businesses in and around Brough tend to fall into two groups. Engineering and manufacturing firms with a supply chain relationship to something larger, and professional or service businesses serving the villages along the Humber.
The first group gets security questionnaires from their customers. The second group usually has no IT support at all beyond somebody’s nephew.
We do both. And because we build software as well as support IT, the manufacturers get a genuine answer when the real problem turns out to be the planning spreadsheet rather than the server.

Local detail
What comes up in Brough
Engineering supply chains
Brough has a long engineering history and a supply chain around it. Businesses in that chain get asked to prove their security by the larger companies they supply, often at short notice. Cyber Essentials is usually what is being asked for, and we can get you there.
Production systems
Smaller manufacturers around here tend to plan production on a spreadsheet and a whiteboard. That works until it does not. We build production planning and stock systems around how a specific factory runs, which is the alternative to a full ERP nobody your size wants to pay for.
Rail and road
Brough is on the main line and the A63, so plenty of businesses here have people working between sites and at home. Making that secure rather than just possible is worth doing properly.

IT support in Brough: common questions
Is Brough too far out for on-site support?
No. It is a straight run down the A63 and we cover it routinely. Ask us to be specific about response times and we will put them in writing.
A customer has asked us to prove our security. Where do we start?
Usually with Cyber Essentials. It is the certification most larger companies ask their suppliers for, and it covers the five controls that stop the majority of common attacks.
We plan production on a spreadsheet. Is bespoke software realistic for a business our size?
Often, yes. The cost of bespoke software is driven by the scope, not by the size of your company. A focused system that does scheduling and shop floor capture costs a fraction of a full ERP licence.
