Why Northampton

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

Northampton has been quietly important for a long time. The town is one of the bigger financial-services and insurance centres outside London (Barclaycard's UK HQ, Nationwide back-office, Carlsberg's UK HQ, and a long list of smaller financial-services and insurance SMBs around them). Travis Perkins is headquartered here too, plus a big retail and distribution layer reflecting the town's M1 / A45 / A14 position.

We're 30 to 40 minutes from Northampton on the A45 or M1 from our Coventry office, depending on which side of the town you're on. Same-day on-site as standard for NN1 through NN5 and the surrounding villages. For routine planned work we tend to combine Northampton visits with Daventry stops the same day.

The kit we deploy is the same we use across the rest of our client base: SentinelOne and Huntress for security, Microsoft 365 with Intune and Entra ID, Cisco Meraki or TP-Link Omada for networking. Financial services SMBs around Northampton tend to want FCA SYSC alignment and the cyber-insurance questionnaire handled properly. We do both.

FAQ

Common questions from Northampton businesses.

How quickly can you be on-site in Northampton?

For a real P1 inside business hours, comfortably inside the hour from Coventry. About 30 to 40 minutes via the A45 or M1 in normal traffic. Most issues are resolved remotely on first contact so we don't drive over for routine work.

Can you handle FCA SYSC for Northampton finance firms?

Yes. Several of our existing clients are FCA-regulated and we configure controls to meet SYSC expectations: access control, MFA, conditional access, encryption, off-site verified backups, third-party risk monitoring, a documented incident response plan. We're not your compliance officer, but we give the compliance team the technical evidence they need.

Do you support distribution and logistics businesses around Brackmills?

Yes. Multi-site distribution and logistics is one of our regular patterns: Microsoft 365 for office staff, scanner fleets and label printers for the warehouse, SD-WAN or VPN connecting sites, segmented networks between office and warehouse. Brackmills is a 30-minute run from Coventry on the A45.

Are you a Microsoft Partner?

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