The story<\/div> \n

\n Before the internet
was useful,
we were already here.<\/em> <\/h2>\n \n

ACUTEC was founded in 1995 \u2014 two years before Google existed, five years before most businesses had a website, and a decade before anyone used the word "cloud" to mean something other than weather. We've built, broken, and fixed technology through every major platform shift since.<\/p>

We're based in St Peters House, Church Hill, Coleshill \u2014 and that hasn't changed. We're independently owned. No venture capital, no private equity, no churn targets. The businesses that sponsor conferences and claim to be the future of IT are often gone within five years. ACUTEC has been here for thirty.<\/p>

The strategic decision we made recently is worth stating plainly: we are a security and compliance company that delivers managed IT support. Not the other way around. That changes what we prioritise, what we invest in, and what we tell clients when they ask where to spend their budget.<\/p> <\/div>\n\n

Our position<\/div>\n

\u201cWe secure your business. Then we keep it running.\u201d That\u2019s not a tagline. It\u2019s the order in which we think. Security first. Infrastructure second. Everything else follows.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The team<\/div> \n

\n The people who
answer when you call.<\/em> <\/h2>\n \n

No offshore helpdesk. No call centre. Fourteen people, all based in Coleshill, all with real names and real accountability.<\/p> <\/div>\n\n

Leadership<\/div>\n \n
\n
\n
CR<\/div>\n
Chris Roche<\/div>\n
Managing Directory<\/div>\n \n

Chris founded ACUTEC and has led the business through thirty years of technology change. His focus is on the strategic direction of the company and the client relationships that have kept 400+ businesses with us. The decision to lead with security \u2014 not IT support \u2014 is his.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n

\n
CL<\/div>\n
Craig Langman<\/div>\n
Chief Technical Officer<\/div>\n \n

Craig is the technical authority at ACUTEC and Chris\u2019s operational right hand. He oversees the helpdesk, works alongside Chris on client development, and provides the technical credibility behind the sales conversations. The person who knows where everything is and why.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n

\n
NF<\/div>\n
Neil Fletcher<\/div>\n
Technical Director<\/div>\n \n

Neil leads the technical infrastructure and security practice. He built ACUTEC\u2019s internal security programme \u2014 we\u2019re pursuing ISO27001 internally because Neil believes you shouldn\u2019t sell a standard you haven\u2019t held. The person supply chain compliance clients speak to first.<\/p>\n \n

Why trust ACUTEC with this<\/div>

We hold the credentials
we advise you to hold.<\/em><\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n
Cyber Essentials Plus<\/div>\n
Independently verified, not self-assessed. ACUTEC holds CE+ ourselves and we are an IASME-accredited certification body \u2014 we assess and certify other businesses directly.<\/div>\n
\u2197 We certify others \u2014 not just advise<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n \n <\/svg>\n <\/div>\n
Microsoft Solutions Partner<\/div>\n
Modern Work & Security specialisation. Microsoft independently verifies our technical capability, customer satisfaction, and training investment. Not a reseller licence.<\/div>\n

ISO27001 \u2014 In Progress<\/div>\n
We are pursuing ISO27001 internally. IASME Stage 1 complete, Stage 2 underway. Target September 2026. We do not sell standards we have not held ourselves.<\/div>\n

In the community<\/div> \n

\n West Midlands
is where we
come from.<\/em> <\/h2>\n \n

We\u2019re not a national brand with a regional office. We\u2019re a West Midlands business \u2014 our clients are local, our team is local, and our community investment is local.<\/p>

ACUTEC is a patron of the Albion Foundation, the official charity of West Bromwich Albion FC. The Foundation runs programmes supporting physical and mental wellbeing, resilience, and positive development for people facing challenges including disability, illness, and isolation. The overlap between what they stand for and what we stand for \u2014 supporting people and businesses to be more resilient \u2014 felt right.<\/p> <\/div>\n\n
