About Us
Why Wessex IT?
Simply put – we care. We’re not about quick fixes or a quick profit – we’re about doing the right thing, first time. For most of our clients we’re their most trusted supplier – and that means a lot. We’re in it for the long run, and mutually invested in your secure and smooth-running systems. This has been our attitude since starting in 2005 and our client retention rate is testament to that.
When it comes to recruitment, we’re really picky! It’s easy to find engineers with a passion for customer service, but much harder to find those with the right technical skillset as well.
Our team is what sets us apart in the market – and right now is the strongest it’s ever been. Why not pop in for a coffee and see for yourself?
