IT For Growing Teams
IT that scales as fast as you hire.
Growth breaks IT in predictable ways: onboarding eats someone's week, access sprawls, and the first enterprise client asks questions nobody can answer. We give teams of 15 to 100 a full IT function that keeps pace: zero-touch onboarding, identity that scales, and strategic leadership, without a £50k+ hire before you're ready.
Where Growth Breaks IT
The three walls every scaling team hits
The hiring wave
At five people, setting up a laptop is a favour. At twenty-five, it's someone's job they were never hired to do, and every new starter waits days to be useful.
Access sprawl
Tools got adopted faster than accounts got managed. Shared logins, personal accounts holding company assets, and nobody certain what a leaver can still reach.
The enterprise deal
A bigger client's procurement asks for MFA coverage, device encryption, and a security posture. The deal is real, the deadline is real, and improvised IT can't answer the questionnaire.

What Scaling With Us Means
A full IT function, sized to now, built for next
The same foundation whether you're 15 or 100: it just does more of the work as you grow. Estate visibility and licence tracking come through the Stabilise Platform, included with every plan.
Want the strategic layer on its own? See Technology Strategy and zero-touch deployment.
Onboarding that scales
Zero-touch deployment through Apple Business Manager and MDM: every new device configures itself, every new hire is productive on day one.
Identity from day one
Single sign-on and role-based access, so growth adds people without adding password sprawl. Instant offboarding when someone leaves.
Security that wins deals
The baseline enterprise clients and insurers ask about: MFA, encryption, endpoint protection, and the evidence to prove it. Cyber Essentials Plus when a contract calls for it.
A roadmap and a budget
Quarterly technology roadmaps, vendor management, and board-level reporting. Strategic leadership without the full-time hire.
Procurement handled
Hardware specified, sourced, and shipped ready to work. Licences consolidated so you stop paying for tools nobody uses.
How It Works
Foundation first, then a rhythm that keeps pace
Free audit
We map your setup against where the company is heading: devices, identity, security, and the bottlenecks growth will hit first. Written report, no obligation.
Foundation
Identity, device management, and security built to scale: each new hire from here on is automatic, not another manual setup.
Rhythm
Managed support day to day, plus a quarterly roadmap: what to invest in, what to retire, and what the next stage of growth needs. Plain numbers, board-ready.
Scale events
Office moves, enterprise procurement, funding due diligence, a second site. The moments that break improvised IT are the moments this setup is built for.
Built For Scale-Up Pace
When a ~110-person company's enterprise customer set a security bar, it was met in under two weeks
This is what scaling IT looks like in practice: an AI software company's customer required phishing-resistant MFA before a contract. We enforced it across their entire Google Workspace and GitHub estate, at growth pace, without stopping the business.

FAQ
Scaling questions, answered
We're hiring every month. How do you stop onboarding becoming a bottleneck?
By making it automatic. New Macs ship straight to the new hire, enrol themselves through Apple Business Manager, and configure their apps, access, and security policies before first login. Accounts and permissions come from your identity provider based on role, not from someone's checklist. The result is a new starter who is productive on day one, whether you hire one person this quarter or ten this month.
When should a growing company get serious about IT?
At the trigger, not after it. The common ones: headcount reaching the point where onboarding eats someone's week, the first enterprise client sending a security questionnaire, the first compliance requirement in a contract, or investor due diligence on the horizon. Getting the foundation in before those moments is cheap; retrofitting it during them is not.
What does day one look like for a new hire?
They open the laptop, sign in once, and work. Apps installed, single sign-on live, security policies applied, file access matched to their team. No IT ticket, no borrowed login, no half-day of setup. That first-day experience is also what your new hire tells their friends about.
Do we need new hardware to get this?
No. Your existing fleet gets enrolled into management, without wiping machines where possible, and zero-touch applies to everything you buy from then on. Where old hardware genuinely is the problem, we say so with a lifecycle plan and numbers, not a blanket replace-everything quote.
How do we keep access under control as people join, move, and leave?
One identity for each person, granted by role, removed on departure in minutes. Joiners get exactly what their team needs, movers change once centrally, and leavers lose everything at once, laptop included. Shared logins and orphaned accounts are usually the first thing we retire, because they are the thing that fails an audit and the thing a leaver can still use.
What happens when we outgrow you?
You hire in-house with our blessing, and everything is already documented and owned by you. Some clients bring IT leadership in-house and keep us for the Apple estate; others hand over entirely. Contracts are 30-day rolling, so the relationship survives on being useful rather than on a lock-in. Either way the handover is clean, because clean handovers are how we would want to receive an environment too.
