Burntwood is three miles from our Lichfield office, a five-minute drive down the A5190 past Boney Hay. That proximity matters when something on a Burntwood factory floor or a Cannock Road office stops working at 9am on a Monday. We are not a national queue, we are not a 24-hour rotating call centre, and we are not somebody you have to convince of who you are every time you ring. A named senior engineer answers, knows your environment, and turns up if it needs hands.
Many of the businesses we support in Burntwood are 10 to 50 person operations: family-run trades, professional services in the Sankey Drive cluster, manufacturers along the A5190 corridor, and the smaller offices around Princess Street and Cannock Road. The common thread is owners who want one IT person they can ring, fixed monthly pricing that is published openly at /pricing/, and the security baseline an insurer or a regulator will actually accept.
Initial IT has been trading continuously since 2004, holds Cyber Essentials certification on the firm itself, is a Microsoft Partner, and was named 2025 IT Services Company of the Year for Staffordshire at the Business Awards. The other thing worth knowing: Cyber Essentials Plus is on our 12-month roadmap, not something we have already. We never claim what we have not earned.
Engineering firms, fabricators, distribution operations and family-run trades around the A5190 and Cannock Road corridors. We handle shop-floor connectivity, OT/IT segmentation, mobile device management for engineers in the field, and the backup-and-recovery setups that survive a ransomware attack.
Accountants, surveyors, financial advisers and small consultancies. Compliance pressure from regulators (ICAEW, RICS, FCA), insurer questionnaires, and ever-stricter PI insurance demands. We hold Cyber Essentials, get clients there too, and translate “MFA on everything” into language a senior partner will actually act on.
Owners who want IT to “just work” but also want to understand what they are paying for. We publish prices openly, we use plain English on every email, and we will not over-sell. If you need Foundations at £47 per person per month, that is what you get; we do not push Fortify just because it costs more.
Some examples of what a normal month looks like for a Burntwood client on our books:
Larger projects, such as office moves, broadband upgrades, the migration off an ageing on-prem server, are scoped and quoted separately so they never surprise you on the monthly invoice.
