About Network, and how it all began

A quick website update back in the year 2000 sparked the idea to help businesses with even bigger tech challenges, and that’s what we’re still passionate about today!

The Spark

In 2000, Lee was working at an investment firm called Mansford Holdings, and although his role at the time focused more on bookkeeping and finance, he noticed that their website really needed an update. Spurred by the challenge, Lee took it upon himself to revamp their design using cutting-edge Flash technology (cutting edge for year 2000!), leaving the executives more than just a little impressed.

This pivotal moment ignited Lee's passion for web design and SEO, leading him to start his own venture. His path soon converged with Ian, an IT consultant working for an IT company that specialised in hosted desktop technology. Recognising the untapped potential in joining forces, Lee pitched the idea of launching their own IT company to Ian, who was instantly on board.

Pooling their talents, the duo introduced one of the industry's earliest Hosted Desktop platforms at Mansford Holdings—the very place where Lee's journey had begun. The results were nothing short of extraordinary and signalled the start of a partnership destined for success.

In just their first year, Lee and Ian secured over £1 million in leads for IT support, laying the foundation for a business that has been on an upward trajectory ever since.

We’re located in the iconic Biscuit Factory in Bermondsey, a Victorian building that used to play host to Peek Freans, a former biscuit making company! Over the past few years, we’ve moved around the different Biscuit Factory buildings into larger spaces to accommodate our expanding team.

We’re now based in the recently completed ‘Cocoa Studios’, just a stone's throw away from the Jubilee line. If you fancy a coffee and biscuit, whether it's in your local area or at our offices, we'd love to meet. Reach out to us anytime!

What our customers have to say

Called them - rather than email - got response within a minute and my issue was dealt with very quickly and personably - As it always is.

Great service as always! I hardly ever need support with my Mac, but when I do, these are the people I would, without a doubt, recommend. Michael was patient (with my lack of knowledge) and fixed my issues!

I contacted Network London first thing and my enquiry / request was answered immediately. After an exchange of emails, the works requested were carried out on time and correctly meaning our new remote worker could carryout his daily tasks.
