Employer description:
Technique provides day to day IT support and project-based IT consultancy to organisations which do not have their own support staff or who require assistance for their existing team.

We were formed nearly 20 years and have grown to help hundreds of small and medium businesses, across a wide range of sectors both in the UK and internationally, get the most from their IT.
What makes us different is that we are an engineer led support company.
We only employ qualified IT support engineers with excellent technical backgrounds.
This means when you call to discuss an IT issue – or want to discuss some new hardware requirements - instead of talking to a salesperson you will go straight through to one of our highly qualified engineers.
This ‘right first time, quality over profit’ ethos ensures that we build long lasting relationships with our clients and business partners.
