About Us

We Started This Because Most IT Support Is Broken

Overcomplicated contracts. Faceless helpdesks. Engineers who've never set foot in your office. We built Managed IT Support to be the opposite of all that.

The Problem We Saw

Small Businesses Deserve Better Than Being an Afterthought

Most IT companies treat SMEs like second-class citizens. You get the junior engineer, the slowest response times, and a contract designed to confuse you into paying for things you don't need.

We saw it happening across Bolton, Bury, and the North West. Businesses with 5 to 50 staff getting enterprise-grade neglect at enterprise prices. No relationship. No accountability. No one who actually knew their name.

That's why Managed IT Support exists.

Our Story

From One Engineer to a Full Technology Group

Managed IT Support started with a simple idea: treat every client like your only client. Know their systems inside out. Pick up the phone when they call. Be on-site the same day when something needs fixing.

That approach worked. One client became ten. Ten became thirty. And the work grew beyond just IT support into cyber security, communications, web services, and cloud infrastructure.

Today, Managed IT Support is the flagship brand of the Managed Technology Group (MTG), a family of specialist technology companies. Each brand focuses on what it does best, but you still get the same personal service you'd expect from a local provider.

Within Managed IT Support, our security products Cyberfend (identity and cloud defence) and Cybertect (business continuity and disaster recovery) deliver specialist protection without you needing to go elsewhere.

Meet Jay

Run by Someone Who Still Picks Up the Phone

Jay Berry is the Managing Director of Managed IT Support and the wider Managed Technology Group. He's not a suit in a boardroom. He's the person who built your network, configured your security, and will answer your call on a Monday morning when everything's gone sideways.

Based at Egerton Business Centre in Bolton, Jay works directly with every client. You won't be passed around departments or left waiting for a callback from someone who's never heard of you. When you join us, you get Jay's mobile number. That's not a marketing gimmick. That's how we work.

Active member of BNI. Embedded in the local business community. Your IT guy, not a vendor.
