HOW WE WORK

Real engineers. Fast response. No ticket black holes.

Every ticket you raise reaches our UK-based engineering team - not a single helpdesk operator and not an offshore call centre. We cannot promise every fix is instant (some problems genuinely take time to diagnose properly) but you will never sit in silence wondering if anyone is looking at it.

  • A full team of UK-based engineers, not a one-person helpdesk
  • Business-hours cover (9-5) on Essentials, 24/7 on Peace of Mind
  • 10-minute response SLA included on Peace of Mind

What Our IT Support Clients Say

Our previous IT provider would take days to respond to urgent issues. With Highway, we get a real person on the phone within minutes - every single time. Genuine game-changer for a small business that cannot afford downtime.

Mark T., Operations Director, Folkestone

Peace of Mind plan has saved us countless times. 24/7 cover means we are not panicking when something breaks over a weekend or bank holiday. Worth every penny for the predictability alone.

Sarah B., MD, Maidstone

Switched from a national MSP to Highway 18 months ago. The difference in personal attention is night and day - they know our setup, our team, and they actually answer the phone when we call.

James W., Practice Manager, Canterbury

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of businesses do you support?
We work with a wide range of businesses - from small startups to established SMEs with 100+ users. We are particularly experienced supporting professional services, retail, and trades businesses across Kent and remotely throughout the UK.
How quickly do you respond to support requests?
Every ticket gets a real response within 10 minutes during your covered hours - that is our SLA across every paying tier. We cannot promise every fix is instant (some problems take time to diagnose properly) but you will never sit in silence wondering if anyone is looking at it.
Do you offer different levels of support?
Yes. Basic (free forever, unlimited users, self-service tools), Essentials (£10/user/month, business-hours support), and Peace of Mind (£20/user/month, 24/7 cover and Microsoft 365 management included). All paying plans get our 10-minute response SLA.
Can you support our existing systems, or do we need to switch everything over?
We work with what you already have. Our engineers are experienced across a wide range of platforms, hardware, and software. We will assess your current setup and make sensible recommendations - we will not push you to replace things that are working well.
Do you provide IT support remotely or only in Kent?
We support clients across the whole of the UK remotely. Most day-to-day issues get resolved remotely within minutes. On-site visits are available as a separate agreement when hands-on work is needed.
What happens if something goes seriously wrong out of hours?
Out-of-hours cover is included as standard on our Peace of Mind plan (£20/user/month) - 24/7, 365 days a year. Essentials covers business hours (9am-5pm Mon-Fri). If your business needs OOH support, Peace of Mind is the right tier.
Can you help if we have been hit by a cyberattack or ransomware?
Yes. Contact us immediately if you suspect a breach - we can help contain the incident, assess damage, and restore from backups where possible. For proactive protection, see our dedicated Cyber Security service covering email filtering, endpoint protection, and staff awareness training.
How do we get started?
Fill out our quick application form - takes about 3 minutes. We will review your details, arrange a no-obligation call to understand your business and current setup, and put together a straightforward proposal.Start Your Application
