We design AI, IoT and automation solutions to improve efficiency, reduce manual tasks and unlock new data-driven opportunities for businesses.

My name is Chris Hodgkiss, and I am the founder of IT Made Simple, bringing over two decades of experience in the IT sector. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with a diverse range of businesses, from small enterprises to large corporations, and I recognise the significant financial repercussions that downtime can impose on any organisation. A critical distinction lies in the level of support that is accessible to these different business sizes.
While larger companies typically have dedicated IT departments, smaller businesses and sole proprietors often depend on outsourced IT services, which can present various challenges. This reliance necessitates a high degree of trust in the chosen IT service provider, as they are tasked with safeguarding your security and data, minimising downtime, ensuring the proper functioning of all software, and maintaining cyber security. You can trust in me to ensure that your IT runs without a hitch.
