Our history
History
Factory founded because MSPs didn’t offer services built for the future.
We’re a UK based firm, based in Hastings, East Sussex. We founded because we spotted a shift-change in the way IT Services are being delivered to people. We believe that for the most part, it’s not very effective and it gets in the way of businesses operating rather than helping them get on with what they’re good at. The Cloud has completely changed how businesses use technology. Our aim is to make technology accessible to business. Our aim is to help established businesses maintain the lead in their market by helping them through technical challenges that directly relate to their business goals.
We help through leading the way and working with you on a person to person basis, we work to understand the why, and from there, understand the how we can help you.
We’ve collectively spent the majority of our careers consulting on major national and international projects to some of the worlds biggest technology companies. With our collective experience, we aim to deliver great added value to your business.
