Our Story
Founded in 2006, entrustIT was born from the combined insights of two brothers with extensive experience in large-scale enterprise IT.
Empowering businesses through tailored technology
Recognising the power of technology to empower businesses of all sizes, the brothers set out to create a tailored and accessible approach for midmarket companies.
This foresight and dedication positioned entrustIT as a pioneer in the early days of cloud computing, establishing a track record of delivering innovative solutions for a growing market.
Initially, convincing businesses of the cloud’s future potential posed a significant challenge. Yet, through unwavering conviction and dedication, entrustIT secured early adopters who remain valued partners today. This testament to trust, the company’s core value, is a source of immense pride.
Over the years, entrustIT has evolved significantly. International accreditations and award-winning projects showcase a commitment to excellence. The strategic acquisition of like-minded regional MSPs gave birth to the entrust IT Group, a network of six businesses now spanning the UK. This unique model seamlessly unites the nurturing support of local presences with the collective expertise of a national entity. Today, entrustIT remains family owned and privately funded, with three generations represented in all areas of the company.
At the heart of entrustIT lies a passion for people. Our helpdesk boasts friendly, technically adept engineers renowned for their exceptional customer service. Field engineers crisscross the nation, ever-ready to assist in times of need. Meanwhile, dedicated consultants work tirelessly within client boardrooms, driving growth and success.
Ultimately, entrustIT’s focus remains unwavering: you.
Whether you’re a business seeking streamlined operations, a talented individual ready to join our team, or a potential partner eager to collaborate, we extend a warm welcome. We invite you to discover the difference trust, expertise, and dedication can make in your unique journey.
Meet our Founders

Through his career, Jeff has been involved in the acquisition of over 90 companies, including provision of new IT systems and integration projects involving hundreds of staff at a time.
Outside of the office, Jeff is a keen powerboater and skier. He also devotes some of his time to volunteer work for causes close to his heart.
