Ethan from CloudTech 24 was absolutely fantastic! Despite only receiving the brief moments before our call, he came fully prepared and handled everything with incredible professionalism. He was so patient, knowledgeable, and helpful, quickly solving my problem and even going above and beyond to ensure the next steps were seamless.

I cannot recommend Ethan and CloudTech 24 highly enough. Their expertise will save you time, money, and countless headaches! Thank you for such outstanding support!

Jonathan Greensted

I found CloudTech24 to be super responsive and nothing was too much trouble when exploring options around help desk, EUC, networking and cyber. I’d have no hesitation in recommending them.

Amanda Llewellyn

Cloudtech24 really supported me with my IT requirements. Craig personally met with me to review my IT needs, explained it to me in terms that I could fully understand and resolved all my issues. Not only did he support me in what I thought I needed but he went above and beyond and gave me quite a few IT life hacks which I am super grateful for. Thank you very much Craig for your professional help and personable way to ensure I am set up as needed going into 2025!

Always a pleasure!

CT24 have supported several of my businesses for a number of years now. Their team are skilled and dedicated to supporting my business. Their knowledge of microsoft licensing and its features and functions is second to none. If your business uses O365 or is thinking of using it and you need IT services and support I would recommend giving CT24 a call and having them manage your platform and support your staff. The 24×7 coverage has been a lifesaver too.

Daniel McNaught

After learning about CloudTech24, I’ve recommended them for IT support services to a number of organisations I’ve been working with in London. Now, having seen how they have served these customers, I really am very impressed by the quality of their IT and cyber security services.

Their attention and care in critical areas often neglected or overlooked by other IT companies is a breath of fresh air. I have no hesitation to confidently recommend them to more organisations in the future.

Charly has been super helpful in fixing a sync issue I had with one drive and sharepoint. He was amazingly patient as he worked through the issue and kept me updated as he went which reassured me. He was able to identify potentially missing or updated files and ensure that these were retained.

Thanks Charly for the Herculean effort.

CloudTech24 successfully took over full IT support management of a couple UK based entities within our Group.

We’re a few months into our relationship with CloudTech24, having selected them from a number of vendors to support the IT for our business. I can honestly say we’re very pleased with them – they’re always responsive, built a solution around our needs (rather than retrofitting our needs simply into a “standard offering”, which is what we found with most other providers), and resolution timescales for issues experienced have been minimal. Very happy!
