Lurgan, Northern Ireland: the town and our work there
Lurgan grew on linen and still makes things, with manufacturers and trades across the town and the wider Craigavon area. It sits just down the M1 from our base in Lisburn.
One accountable partner for Lurgan organisations
Lurgan firms are practical about technology: they want the systems that run orders, production and accounts to work, and someone to call who will sort a problem rather than pass it on. Much of the business here is family-owned, with the owner making the decisions and often wearing the IT hat too, until we take it off them.
Older premises and long-serving equipment are common in a town with this much history, so unsupported Windows versions, ageing servers and untested backups are worth checking for. We take stock of what you have, replace what is a risk on a planned timetable, and keep everything after that patched, monitored and recoverable.
Being around twenty minutes away means on-site support in Lurgan is genuinely local—backed by the proactive remote management that prevents most problems in the first place.

Questions from Lurgan
Yes. Lurgan is around twenty minutes from our Lisburn base, so on-site support there is genuinely local. Most problems are fixed remotely first, and we visit when hands-on work is needed.
Plan to replace or upgrade them. Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 in October 2025, so without paid extended updates those PCs no longer receive security fixes. We check which machines can move to Windows 11, replace the ones that cannot, and schedule the work around production.
Yes. We manage the network, Wi-Fi, PCs and servers that production depends on alongside your office systems, and keep them separated where that reduces risk. Changes are planned around shifts so the floor is not interrupted.
