About

Enterprise-grade IT, at a human scale.

CrownTec brings serious, real-world technology experience to homes and small businesses — built on a career across major names in tech, including Atos, Acer, and the NHS.

That experience includes managing and securing around 40,000 devices at enterprise scale — patching, policy, and software deployment across Windows, macOS, iPhone, iPad and Intune — alongside project delivery, migrations, remote and on-site support, and custom scripting and automation. It's a depth of expertise most local IT providers simply can't match.

CrownTec exists to bring that enterprise-grade capability down to your scale — with the kind of clear, patient, top-level customer service that big providers tend to forget about.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you work with home users as well as businesses?

Absolutely. We help home users, small businesses and anyone in between. We're not chasing huge corporate contracts — we're here for people and small teams who want genuinely good IT help.

Can you help remotely, or do you need to visit?

Most issues can be solved remotely with a secure session — fast and convenient. For hardware, networks or anything hands-on, on-site visits are available depending on your location.

How much does it cost?

Every job is quoted upfront so you always know the price before any work starts. One-off jobs and simple monthly support plans are both available. Just get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote.

What kind of businesses do you support?

Small businesses and startups — typically those without a dedicated IT person. We can act as your outsourced IT department, handling everything from Microsoft 365 to device management and security.

Do you really build custom software and AI tools?

Yes. Alongside support we build automation, scripts and AI tools like Nexus Chat. If you've got a repetitive task or an idea, there's a good chance it can be automated — just ask.
