See what some of our current clients say.

I had a very interesting and productive 1st meeting with Excalibur yesterday. We got through a huge amount but ran perfectly to time. They were clearly very well prepared for the meeting and followed up with a concise list of actions. Overall, I have been left with an overwhelming feeling of positivity that we are going to make some real progress over the coming months in fine-tuning our IT set-up and improving our cyber security.

Lucy Griffiths | Swindon Property Group

So responsive, positive and helpful. Really going above and beyond.

Thank you for such wonderful IT Support.

Henry Marshall | Park House School

I am finding Laura at Excalibur a breath of fresh air, nothing too much trouble and only too pleased to try and help. In the short space of time I have had contact with her she’s managed to sort out a few of Middletons’ ongoing problems and not a whiff of using COVID-19 as an excuse not to try and help. Please pass on our thanks for all the work she is doing for us – long may it continue.

Karen Seymour | Middletons Solicitors

I really appreciate the way Charlotte at Excalibur took time to understand the specific needs I have from my mobile contract and found a way to achieve this, despite Vodafone’s tariffs. I have already passed her details onto a colleague and will be happy to recommend to others.

Katherine Woods | Meeting Magic

We have recommended Excalibur to other councils and will continue to do so. A definite 9 and almost a 10! Recently, Laura helped my understanding of Microsoft Teams. She helped steer me through it as a novice ready for our Council to use it for virtual meetings. No question was a stupid question and she patiently talked me through it. She is always professional and helpful in her dealings with my team right from advising on new systems through to follow-up on queries.

Shelley Parker | Marlborough Town Council

10/10 – I have been using Excalibur since it started in Swindon centre – I have one particularly good memory which has kept me with them ever since. I would, and do, always recommend Excalibur. And thank you to Amy for her supreme effort and excellent communication during lockdown.

MLL | Heritage Consultants Limited

Frequently asked questions

Managed Services vs in-house, what’s better?

Some larger businesses can afford to maintain in-house IT teams, but the resourcing costs are significant and it is challenging to recruit and retain a large enough team to cover the wide, challenging and ever-evolving breadth and depth of skill sets required to deliver a full IT solution in today’s rapidly changing world.

For this reason, many forward-thinking businesses are turning to expert managed services that provide full access to cutting-edge skills, talent and expertise on a flexible basis – buying in the services they need, when they need it and at rates that make sense for the business.


Is IT Support expensive?

As you can tell, there is a great degree of variation in the price that you could face when you start shopping around. Many IT support firms might charge a relatively low amount, but fail to offer a service that really offers what you need in an emergency. As a ballpark figure, you might expect to pay somewhere between 4% and 6% of annual revenues on IT support.

This would include any major necessary updates each year and general day-to-day management. The best way to get a more accurate price would be to speak to an IT support specialist, such as what our team can provide here at Excalibur. We service a number of small and large companies across all UK sectors and offer flexible pricing plans that can cover your exact needs and not break the bank.

We also offer exclusive deals for small businesses, as a part of our aim to help you minimise costs and grow.

What do I need to consider when selecting an IT Support Provider?

IT support is now a crucial business expenditure for most companies, regardless of sector. If your systems go down, even for a few hours, it could mean a complete halt to business and cost you dearly.

When comparing IT support companies in Bristol, we recommend you acknowledge price but don’t prioritise it. We often hear that customers who are cost driven in their decision making tend to encounter more problems and receive a poorer service,

We recommend you research into what the business offers from a strategic and proactive point of view. These are the types of partners that will minimise future problems, help with scalability, and most importantly improve your profitability
