Why Start Tech
People First. Partnership Always.
Founded in 2000, Start Tech is a Shrewsbury-based Managed IT Service Provider supporting businesses across Shropshire and the wider UK.
What sets us apart isn’t just our technical expertise, it’s our people-first approach. We build lasting relationships by understanding your goals, delivering practical support, and making IT feel simple.
Every solution is tailored. Every conversation is clear. Every partnership is built on trust.
Supporting Businesses for 26 Years
For over 25 years, we’ve partnered with businesses of all sizes to deliver dependable, forward-thinking IT support that evolves as they grow.
That kind of longevity doesn’t happen by accident – it comes from holding the same values we started with in 2000.
We understand our clients, communicate openly, stay positive and growth-minded, and support our local community. It’s how we work and who we are, and it’s the foundation everything else at Start Tech is built on, including how seriously we take cyber security.
Cyber Security Experts
Cyber security is central to how we work. As threats evolve, so do we. Our team is always learning and gaining recognised certifications, so you can rely on Start Tech to help protect what matters.
We are the only National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Assured Service Provider in Shropshire and one of a limited number of UK IT providers independently vetted against government-backed standards for the cyber security services we deliver.
That status isn’t self-awarded. It comes from an external assessment against NCSC criteria, and it means the advice and protection our clients receive has been checked against a recognised national benchmark, not just our own word for it. You can view our listing on the NCSC here.
Start Tech is the first IT provider in the Midlands to achieve the Assurix Trustmark, an independent verification of our cyber security practices carried out against Assurix’s own assessment framework. It’s a second, separate layer of external scrutiny on top of our NCSC status – proof our standards hold up when someone outside the business goes looking.
