About Us
IT LifeRaft Ltd was established in August 2024 with a clear mission: to deliver honest, transparent, and expert IT support that empowers businesses to thrive. Our guiding valuesโintegrity and transparencyโare embedded in everything we do. Whether it’s resolving technical issues, implementing cybersecurity solutions, or recommending platforms, we always put our clientsโ best interests first.
We’re proudly agnostic when it comes to technology. That means we donโt push specific vendors or lock you into rigid systems. Instead, we offer best-in-class solutions tailored to your business environment, ensuring flexibility, performance, and future readiness. Our priority is to match the right tools with the right needsโnot whatโs popular, but whatโs proven.
Our founder brings a rich history of hands-on experience dating back to 1995. With decades spent building and maintaining Windows desktops in busy office environments, the heart of IT Liferaft beats with practical know-how and real-world insights. We understand the frustration that comes with tech hiccups, and weโre here to be the calm in the stormโyour liferaft in turbulent IT waters.
The personal journey behind IT Liferaft is just as meaningful. Despite the mental demands of working in IT, our founder finds balance and restoration in nature. Youโll often find him laying patios, assembling garden furniture, or tackling transformative outdoor projectsโthink pondless waterfalls and fishponds. These moments outdoors are not just therapeutic; theyโre grounding reminders of the bigger picture.
Heโs also navigated dramatic landscapes, from climbing two of the UKโs highest peaks to a dangerous encounter in Iceland in 2019, after visiting the famous Sรณlheimasandur plane wreck. And today, this role offers the flexibility and purpose to support a lifelong partner who became wheelchair-bound after a strokeโa powerful testament to resilience, commitment, and the human side of IT.
At IT Liferaft, we combine cutting-edge expertise with empathy and understanding. Weโre not just tech specialistsโweโre problem solvers, partners, and allies in your digital journey. For us, success isnโt just about uptime or upgrades. Itโs about people, balance, and living the best life we canโwhile helping others do the same through reliable, transparent, and human-first IT support.
