Supporting Hinckley businesses
Hinckley is the main town of the Hinckley and Bosworth borough in south west Leicestershire, close to the Warwickshire border. It grew on hosiery and knitwear, and the textile trade shaped the town for centuries. Today its best-known employer is Triumph Motorcycles, which has its headquarters and factory in Hinckley, and the area has a strong automotive and engineering presence.
MIRA Technology Park, on the A5 between Hinckley and Nuneaton, is one of Europe's major vehicle engineering and testing centres, housing automotive research, testing and development businesses. The A5 and M69 corridors around the town are home to large logistics and distribution operations, and Hinckley sits close to the M1, M6 and M69, putting it at the heart of the Midlands road network. Bosworth Battlefield, where Richard III was killed in 1485, and the market town of Market Bosworth draw visitors to the rural parts of the borough.
Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council is based at the Hinckley Hub in the town centre, and North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College has a campus in the town.
The automotive and engineering supply chain shapes much of the local demand for IT support. Engineering firms working with vehicle manufacturers and testing centres must protect design data and answer detailed cyber security questions, so MFA, patching, controlled admin rights, secure file sharing and tested backups are essential. CAD and simulation workstations need careful updates. Logistics businesses need warehouse Wi-Fi, label printers and Microsoft 365. Smaller firms, including surviving knitwear and textile businesses, increasingly sell online and need e-commerce sites that are fast, secure and easy to update.
We support Hinckley businesses remotely from Mansfield, a little over an hour away via the M1. Any on-site work is quoted upfront.
