About Us

Born in Shropshire.
Built for Business.

Founded in 2015 by two former corporate IT directors, Beacon has grown to become Shropshire's most trusted MSP, serving 150+ businesses across the Midlands.

Our Story

A Decade of Trusted IT in the Midlands

Beacon Technology Services was founded in 2015 by two former corporate IT directors who saw a clear gap: businesses in the Midlands deserved enterprise-grade IT support without the big-city price tag or impersonal service.

Starting from a small office on Pride Hill in Shrewsbury, we built our reputation one client at a time โ€” on honesty, transparency, and delivering results. A decade on, we remain independently owned, locally focused, and deeply committed to the businesses we serve.

Today, our team of 25+ engineers, consultants, and account managers supports over 150 organisations across Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Cheshire, and the West Midlands.
