Bishop Auckland
A short run west along the A689, covered as part of our regular south Durham patch.
IT support in Shildon
Managed IT support in Shildon, County Durham
When systems fail in Shildon the cost is local and immediate: work that stops, customers who cannot be served, and staff who cannot do the job they came in to do. From our head office here we keep south Durham businesses trading through it.
30 mincritical response, SLA backed
9UK offices, one team
The industrial estate and the corridor out toward Newton Aycliffe and Bishop Auckland are full of firms running lean teams. That means downtime lands directly on someone's desk rather than an IT department's, so our monitoring has to catch problems before anyone feels them.
What this protects
Your trading, and your name locally
Customers in this town know you by name, which is why an outage costs more here than for a national chain. What is at stake is the trade you would lose and the local reputation you built.
Trading continuity
A stopped system stops the work that earns the money. For a lean firm in south Durham, an afternoon of downtime is an afternoon of lost revenue.
Your name in the town
A missed order or a closed counter is remembered here. Customers here do not separate the business from the people running it.
Your team's hours
Every hour an owner or manager spends chasing a fix is an hour taken from the work they are paid to do.
Head office, and where the company started
Proactive IT Experts started in Shildon, and the head office is still here. The business has grown into eight branch offices and this head office across the UK, but the engineers who monitor, patch and manage client systems belong to the same team that began in this town.
For a business in south Durham that means you are not a name in a national queue. You are close to the operation itself, which shows up in how quickly someone can be standing in your server room rather than asking you to restart the router again.

What on-site support looks like from Shildon
Critical issues get a 30-minute response, and because we are based here an engineer can be across south Durham without booking out a day of travel. Hardware, cabling and anything that needs hands are covered by our own team rather than a subcontractor.
Most day-to-day problems are fixed remotely while your team keeps working, and we tell you before we connect. On-site attendance is for the things a remote session genuinely cannot fix.
