Great Service from Yassi as usual! +++
Use them for work it, REALLY GOOD
Always a pleasure dealing with the CloudTech team. Diagnose challenges promptly and clearly communicate the route to resolution
Quick response and resolution to my query
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!
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.
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!
Called up the team when I was having an issue signing in. Ethan was super helpful and patiently answered my questions whilst supporting me. CloudTech24 are the best IT support company in London and Surrey!
What a fantastic partner to be working with! This is my second time of working with the CloudTech24 team and once again, it’s a pleasure! A friendly, down to earth and incredibly knowledgeable and talented team. Thank you for your partnership!
Great IT Support for London Companies, we have some smaller global sites so having a single company that can provide 24/7 support to different geolocations is priceless.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Craig and his team on a variety of projects. They consistently deliver outstanding results, and I highly recommend their services!
Amazing service and response times. The service desk team always explain things clearly and are super efficient whenever we have problems. Strongly recommend.
I have been working with CloudTech24 for the last 6 months and they have been excellent. Very quick responses and engaging. Would highly recommend.
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.
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.
Liz Brookfield, TOPRA
Having worked with CloudTech for many many years I find their service impecible – they always respond incredibly quickly and find a way to help – My most recent interesction was with Charly – he was so patient with me and managed to resolve my issues. Cannot recommend more highly!

Great service from Cloudtech24 again – even when presented with a challenge with external software not working correctly, they pull out all the stops and keep going until it’s resolved. Thanks Ali
Very happy with the service we’ve been receiving. Charlie provided exceptional IT support for our company. He was incredibly responsive, solving our issues quickly and efficiently. His technical expertise is top-notch, and he explained solutions clearly, making it easy for us to understand. Highly recommended CloudTech24.
I highly recommend CloudTech24 to any business in need of secure and efficient IT support in London. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is truly commendable and they certainly earned my trust to support our business
Ali was charming and patient helping an illiterate IT person like me sort out setting my e mail accounts for GambleAware – many thanks !!
Cloudtech24 are a great team to work with! The team are very friendly and they certainly don’t hold back on their knowledge! We’ve worked in partnership with CT24 for just over 6 months now and we can’t wait to continue working together!
Jonny and Craig were amazing at assisting when I was locked out of my email. Cloud Tech now manage all of my IT requirements and I couldn’t be happier or feel more at ease. Thanks so much gents! ❤️
CloudTech24 assisted my business with looking at the security of our software and systems, and conducted a report showing where we had potential issues. They are specialists in IT security, but were able to communicate without completely baffling us! Very efficient and easy to deal with. Highly recommended.
Very responsive, thorough and helpful. Experts on hand for many different facets of IT, able to communicate in plain English as well as tech jargon 🙂 Would recommend…in fact have already recommended many times.
CloudTech24 successfully took over full IT support management of a couple UK based entities within our Group. The onboarding process was seamless and feedback from the users has been really positive across the entities. It is still early in the relationship, however Cloudtech24 are proving to be a trusted IT support partner who we can rely on.
Amazing IT Support provided by CloudTech24. Highly Skilled professionals in both IT service and Cyber Security. Super responsive and excellent customer service. Would 100% recommend
Highly recommend the team at CloudTech24. I’ve used their expert help on several projects over the last few years. Their knowledge of Cyber Security is second to none and underpins everything they do. Having a security first mindset is key for any IT Provider/MSP and that’s certainly the case with CloudTech24. IT Support queries are resolved quickly and helpfully. Fantastic team!
I got certified in less than 24 hours
I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with CloudTech24 for the past 6 months, and the experience has been nothing short of outstanding. As a leading IT solutions provider, they have consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
I recommend them to any business seeking top quality IT services and support.

The team are polite and efficient – a pleasure to work with!
Great team to work with
Great company with very friendly and helpful staff. Would 100% recommend!
I’ve really enjoyed working with Sam & Lisa at CloudTech24 throughout 2023, always a pleasure to speak to, helpful & friendly. Looking forward to continuing working with them and the team next year.
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!
Great services!!!
