Supporting Islington businesses
Islington is one of London's smallest boroughs by area but one of its busiest for small businesses. Clerkenwell, in the south of the borough, has one of the densest concentrations of architects and design studios anywhere in the world, along with furniture showrooms, creative agencies and the annual Clerkenwell Design Week. Around Old Street, the area once nicknamed Silicon Roundabout straddles the boundary with Hackney and is home to technology start-ups, digital agencies and co-working spaces.
Further north, Angel and Upper Street are lined with restaurants, bars, theatres and independent shops, and Highbury is home to Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. City St George's, University of London, has its main campus in Islington, and the borough has a large number of charities, social enterprises and professional practices. Many Islington businesses operate from converted warehouses, shared studios and small offices where space is tight and most systems are in the cloud.
The IT and website needs we see from Islington businesses include:
- Architects and design studios with large CAD and image files, Macs and PCs side by side, and a need for fast, reliable backups and file sharing.
- Start-ups and digital agencies wanting Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace set up properly, with managed laptops and MFA.
- Restaurants, bars and shops on Upper Street relying on booking systems, online ordering and accurate Google listings.
- Charities and social enterprises managing donated equipment, volunteer accounts and WordPress websites.
dijitul supports Islington businesses remotely from Mansfield. We support Windows and Mac, set up cloud storage and backups, maintain websites and fix email problems. If something needs hands on site, such as studio cabling, we explain why and quote it upfront.
