Why Loughborough

The local picture, written by people who actually live here.

Loughborough's economy is shaped by the university. Loughborough University is one of the leading UK engineering and sports-science schools, with a long history of producing spin-outs and a steady research-and-development industry across LE11 and LE12. Brush Electrical Machines has been making generators here for over a century. The town also has a healthy professional services and finance population, plus the standard mix of independents and family businesses you'd expect.

We're about 50 minutes from Loughborough via the M69 and M1 from our Coventry office. Same-day on-site as standard. For routine planned work we tend to combine Loughborough visits with Leicester stops the same day, since the two are 20 minutes apart.

The kit we deploy is the same we run for our other clients: SentinelOne and Huntress for security, Microsoft 365 with Intune and Entra ID, Cisco Meraki or TP-Link Omada for networking. University spin-outs and engineering R&D firms tend to need clean Microsoft 365 from day one, sensible identity, segmented project networks for any defence or sensitive infrastructure work, and proper IP protection. We do all of that.

FAQ

Common questions from Loughborough businesses.

How quickly can you be on-site in Loughborough?

For a real P1 inside business hours, comfortably inside the day from Coventry. About 50 minutes via the M69 and M1 in normal traffic. Most issues are resolved remotely on first contact.

Do you support engineering R&D firms and university spin-outs?

Yes. Engineering consultancies and university spin-outs typically need clean Microsoft 365 from day one, careful identity management, segmented project networks (especially for defence or sensitive infrastructure work), and disciplined backup and version control on CAD and BIM files. We configure all of that.

Can you support university procurement frameworks?

Yes. We have experience with JISC, Crescent Purchasing Consortium and the direct-award processes universities and FE colleges use. We can quote into framework-compliant procurement vehicles where needed.

Are you a Microsoft Partner?

Yes. Microsoft 365, Intune and Entra ID is our standard setup. Comfortable building tenants from scratch and tightening up existing setups for Cyber Essentials Plus.
