Supporting Huddersfield businesses
Huddersfield grew on woollen textiles and engineering, and both are still part of its economy. Fine worsted cloth is woven in and around the town, and engineering firms make gearboxes, valves, pumps and specialist machinery for export. The town has a significant chemicals and life sciences presence, including Syngenta's large manufacturing site on Leeds Road. The University of Huddersfield is one of the town's biggest employers, and its 3M Buckley Innovation Centre gives start-ups and manufacturers space to work with researchers.
Around the town centre, with its listed station and Victorian streets, are professional firms, independent shops and a growing food and drink scene. The Holme and Colne Valleys, with Holmfirth, Marsden and Slaithwaite, are full of small creative businesses, rural enterprises and home-based professionals.
Engineering and textile firms often run ERP, CAD and production systems that have been in place for years, sometimes on a server under a desk. They need those systems backed up properly and protected from ransomware, and they increasingly get security questions from larger customers. Businesses spinning out of the university want modern cloud setups from day one: Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace with MFA, managed laptops, and a website they can update themselves. In the valleys, connectivity is the usual headache. Rural broadband, 4G or 5G backup routers and reliable home-working setups are common requests from people working out of converted mills and farmhouses.

Frequently asked questions
Can you help a Huddersfield manufacturer protect against ransomware?
Yes. We check your backups are complete and stored off site, set up MFA, patch servers and PCs, and review who has admin rights. We can also isolate older production PCs that cannot be updated. Larger projects are quoted upfront.
Do you cover Holmfirth, Marsden and the valleys?
Yes. We support businesses across Kirklees, including Holmfirth, Marsden, Slaithwaite, Mirfield, Dewsbury and Batley. Support is remote from Mansfield, so the price is the same: plans from £25 a month + VAT.
Our broadband in the Colne Valley is unreliable. What can you suggest?
We can review your router and line, then suggest a 4G or 5G backup connection with automatic failover so staff keep working when the main line drops. We help you choose the kit and set it up remotely.
