01How we work
What looking after your IT actually looks like.
No call-centre scripts, no waiting on hold, no surprises on the invoice. Three quiet promises about how we run.
A real person, not a queue
Your issue is picked up straight away by an engineer who already knows your setup — not “next business day”, not a phone tree.
One fixed monthly fee
No per-hour call-outs, no padded invoices, no surprises. You always know exactly what you’re paying for.
Proactive, not reactive
Most issues are caught and fixed before you notice. The few that need you come with a clear explanation, not a panic.
Included as standard
The quietly important stuff.
- 24/7 proactive monitoring that catches issues early
- Cyber Essentials certification support included
- A dedicated account manager who knows your business
- Transparent, fixed monthly pricing
- No long-term lock-in contracts
- Clear written reports, not jargon
02The difference
Drag to see what changes.
Four things that happen to every business, side by side: how they go on break-fix, and how they go with us. Drawn from real tickets, anonymised.
03What we do
Everything your business runs on, looked after by one team.
From day-to-day support to long-term strategy — seven services, all delivered under one fixed monthly fee.
04Who we work with
Built around how your sector works.
Regulated industries, fast-moving SMEs, schools and charities — we tailor support to the way you actually operate.
05Where we are
On-site across the North West, remote everywhere.
Engineers drive out from Southport to the towns on the map. Everywhere else in the UK gets the same helpdesk, the same monitoring and the same fixed fee — on-site by arrangement.
06Straight answers
The questions people ask before they call.
Short, plain-English answers on what we do, where we work, how fast we respond and what it costs.

Frequently asked questions about Britannia IT Services
Managed IT support is a proactive service where an external provider monitors, manages and maintains your business technology for a fixed monthly fee. Unlike traditional break-fix support — where you only call for help after something goes wrong — managed IT prevents problems before they occur through 24/7 monitoring, regular maintenance and strategic planning.
Our average response time is under 15 minutes for critical issues. All requests are handled by our UK-based helpdesk, and remote access tools let us resolve most problems without an engineer visit. On-site support is available across the North West and nationally when required.
We support businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to organisations with 200+ users. Our managed IT plans are fully scalable and tailored to your requirements — whether you have 5 or 500 devices.
