Let me introduce myself. I’m Chris West, Founder and Managing Director of Aptus Technology.
I’ve loved computers since I first encountered them when my parents bought a Sinclair ZX Spectrum. As the years went by, my interest in them grew. By the time I turned 16, I was building them. It was obvious that my calling was in IT.
After studying computer science at university, I worked in IT for a number of companies. I really enjoyed the work – solving problems, creating solutions, helping people – but I found being an employee frustrating. Eventually, I decided to take a chance and go it alone. In April 2002, I set up Aptus Technology as an independent Managed Service Provider.
My aim from the beginning was to create an open, friendly, but highly professional company and build a solid reputation amongst our future clients for our speed of response and our ability to resolve their issues quickly and comprehensively. As we move into our third decade of continuous operations, with a large and growing client base, some of whom have been with us since the beginning, I think we can confidently say we’ve achieved what we set out to do. Here’s to the next twenty years.
We engage widely with our local communities through a number of initiatives under out our Social Values Program. For example, with our New Ventures Support Package, we offer commitment-free IT services to newly formed companies.
We also believe sport is a great way of bringing people together and show this through our support of a number of local teams. And, of course, we are making significant progress in line with our Environmental and Sustainability policies towards a greener future.
Aptus first helped us more than a decade ago as a three man start up with sensible, practical, affordable help. They stayed with us as we grew through 10, then 50 and now over 250 staff. Their advice and support scaled with us and remains sensible and practical. We had many problems growing the firm, but IT wasn’t one of them.

Your IT problems solved: this fully encapsulates Aptus Technology. I run a sustainability communications consultancy and when I had an IT issue Chris and the team very quickly got me back up and running so I could focus on the day job – a Net Zero world. From start to finish the team were knowledgeable, responsive and great to work with. What I particularly liked was being presented with options and the consultative approach through the process of getting my IT back and better. Thank you Chris, Matt and Sonia. It is great to know that if I come up against any future IT issues the team is on hand to problem solve and provide excellent customer experience.

Chris West and his team have been our IT support company for the last 4 years and we have been very happy with the service we receive from them. Their style of rapid response to immediate individual problems combined with the behind the scene monitoring of our servers works well for us. It also stops our own computer amateurs from meddling and avoids the need for an in-house IT expert.
