Not Your Average IT Company

IT Support That Actually Feels Different

Most IT companies are reactive – they wait for something to break before they act. At Blowfish Technology, we’ve built our entire service model around the opposite approach. We monitor, protect and optimise your technology before problems happen, so your team can focus on what matters most.

We’re a local, owner-managed business – not a faceless national provider. When you call us, you speak to someone who knows your business, understands your setup and genuinely cares about getting the outcome right.

That’s why 98% of our clients stay with us year after year. Not because of a contract – because they want to.

We fix problems before they affect your team – not after the damage is done.

Real people who know your name and your business – every time you call.

Our Process

How We Work With You

1

Understand Your Business

We start by listening – learning your goals, your frustrations and how technology fits into your day-to-day. No assumptions, no templates.

2

Build the Right Solution

We design a tailored technology solution that fits your business – not an off-the-shelf package that forces you to fit around it.

3

Onboard You Properly

We handle the transition carefully – documenting everything, training your team and making sure nothing gets missed during the handover.

4

Monitor & Protect

24/7 monitoring, proactive patching and layered cyber security keep your systems running and your data safe – around the clock.

5

Support When You Need It

Fast, friendly support from people who know you – by phone, remote access or on-site. No ticket queues, no call centres, no runaround.

6

Grow With You

Regular reviews, strategic advice and a technology roadmap that evolves as your business grows – we’re a long-term partner, not a break-fix provider.

Real Results

Client Case Studies

Here’s a snapshot of how we’ve helped North West businesses solve real problems and grow with confidence. Full case studies coming soon.

Manufacturing

Eliminating Downtime for a 60-Staff Manufacturer

Wigan-based precision engineering firm

The Challenge

An ageing server infrastructure was causing regular system outages during production hours, costing the business thousands of pounds per incident. Their previous IT provider was slow to respond and reactive – often not aware of issues until production had already stopped.

What We Did

Blowfish migrated the business to a fully managed cloud infrastructure, implemented 24/7 proactive monitoring and deployed a complete backup and disaster recovery solution. The transition was completed over a single weekend with zero production disruption.

The Results

Zero
Unplanned outages in 12 months
4hr
Recovery time objective achieved
40%
Reduction in IT costs year-on-year

“Blowfish transformed our IT from a constant source of stress to something we genuinely don’t have to think about. The peace of mind alone has been worth every penny.”

– Operations Director, Precision Engineering

Professional Services

Securing a 35-Person Accountancy Firm Against Cyber Threats

Mid-sized accountancy practice, Greater Manchester

The Challenge

A targeted phishing attack had compromised two member of staff’s Microsoft 365 accounts, leading to a near-miss business email compromise incident. The firm had no MFA, no email security and no visibility into what was happening inside their Microsoft 365 environment.

What We Did

We deployed Huntress ITDR for 24/7 Microsoft 365 identity monitoring, rolled out Cisco Duo MFA across all accounts, implemented Keeper password management firm-wide and delivered targeted security awareness training to all staff. The firm achieved Cyber Essentials certification within six weeks.

The Results

100%
MFA adoption across all staff

Security incidents since deployment

“After the phishing incident we knew we had to act. Blowfish had us properly protected within weeks – and the team actually understood our concerns without drowning us in technical jargon.”

– Managing Partner, Accountancy Practice

Healthcare

Modernising Communications for a Multi-Site Dental Group

Four-practice dental group, Lancashire

The Challenge

A growing dental group with four practices was struggling with disconnected phone systems that couldn’t transfer calls between sites, leading to frustrated patients and missed appointments. Staff were using personal mobile phones as a workaround, creating GDPR risks around patient data.

What We Did

Blowfish designed and deployed a unified hosted VoIP system across all four sites, with seamless call transfer, shared voicemail, auto-attendant and full call recording for compliance. The solution also included managed mobiles for all clinical coordinators, replacing personal device usage entirely.

The Results

4
Sites unified on one phone system
30%
Reduction in missed patient calls
Full
GDPR compliance on all comms

“The difference for our reception teams has been huge. Patients now get through first time and our staff aren’t running between practices trying to relay messages. It just works.”

– Practice Manager, Dental Group

Logistics

Cloud Migration & Microsoft 365 Rollout for a Growing Logistics Business

Regional logistics and haulage company, Merseyside

The Challenge

Rapid growth had left the business with a patchwork of systems – on-premise servers, personal Dropbox accounts, and no consistent way for drivers and office staff to collaborate. Onboarding new staff was taking days and data was scattered across personal devices with no backup strategy in place.

What We Did

Blowfish migrated the entire business to Microsoft 365, consolidating email, file storage, collaboration and communications into a single managed platform. We configured SharePoint for document management, deployed Intune for mobile device management across the driver fleet and built a standardised onboarding process that new starters could be set up on in under an hour.

The Results

<1hr
New staff onboarding time
100%
Data backed up and recoverable

Unified platform for the whole team

“We were growing fast but our IT wasn’t keeping up. Blowfish got us onto a proper platform that scales with us. We’ve added 15 staff since the migration and every single onboarding has been seamless.”

– Managing Director, Logistics Company
