Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland: the town and our work there
Newtownabbey covers a lot of ground, from the distribution sheds of Mallusk to the shops and trades of Glengormley. From our office in Lisburn, we look after the technology behind businesses across all of it.
One accountable partner for Newtownabbey organisations
Mallusk is one of the busiest commercial districts around Belfast, with warehousing, wholesale and manufacturing on its estates. Those businesses depend on warehouse systems, scanners, label printers and Wi-Fi across large buildings, and an outage there stops lorries as well as email.
Closer to the town centres, Glengormley and the wider borough hold many smaller firms: builders, electricians, plumbers and other trades who run the business from a van and a phone. For them we keep it simple: reliable mobiles and email, accounts that stay secure when a phone is lost, and quotes and invoices that are always backed up.
We are around twenty minutes away in Lisburn outside the rush hour, combining responsive on-site support with the proactive remote management that stops most issues ever reaching your team.
Newtownabbey: Mallusk, Global Point and Mossley Mill
Newtownabbey is less a single town centre than a group of settlements, from Glengormley to Ballyclare, and it is home to Mossley Mill on Carnmoney Road North, the civic headquarters of Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council since 2000 1Source 1Mossley Mill (Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, accessed 2026)antrimandnewtownabbey.gov.uk/contact/mossley-mill/See in Sources.
Its working heart is industrial. Mallusk, north of Belfast, is a long-established area of warehousing, distribution and light industry, with Mallusk Enterprise Park among its units. Global Point, the Invest NI business park off the Doagh Road, is focused on advanced manufacturing and is where the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre is being developed 2Source 2Invest in Antrim and Newtownabbey (Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, 2026)www.investantrimnewtownabbey.com/See in Sources.
Because the borough's council, its industrial estates and its advanced-manufacturing park all sit in and around Newtownabbey, much of the borough's working life passes through it.

Questions from Newtownabbey
Yes. We survey the building, place access points to suit the racking and the areas where scanners are used, and manage the network afterwards so coverage problems are found and fixed rather than worked around.
Often, sized to you. For a small team it usually means secure phones and laptops, Microsoft 365 set up properly, backup of your quotes and invoices, and one place to call. We will tell you plainly if you do not need more than that.
Yes. Newtownabbey is around twenty minutes from our Lisburn base outside the rush hour. We fix most problems remotely and come on site when the job needs hands, such as cabling, new equipment or a review.
