> IT contractors and small consultancies in Reading often work with corporate clients who expect Microsoft 365 with MFA, Conditional Access and Intune. dijitul sets that up remotely from Mansfield, along with professional email and domains, and visits are quoted upfront. Plans begin from £25 a month + VAT; ad-hoc support is £45 an hour + VAT.

Reading is the largest town in the Thames Valley and one of the UK's most important business locations outside London. Its position on the M4 and the Great Western Main Line, with Elizabeth line services into central London and quick links to Heathrow, has drawn a dense mix of technology, telecoms, energy, insurance and professional services firms over several decades.

Much of that activity is based on business parks on the town's edges. Green Park, near the M4 to the south, and Thames Valley Park, to the east, host the regional and national offices of large companies, while the town centre around Reading station has seen a wave of new office buildings. Thames Water has its headquarters in Reading. The town also hosts a large number of small IT consultancies, software houses, contractors and specialist recruiters working with those larger firms.

The University of Reading, including Henley Business School, is a major employer and research institution, and the Royal Berkshire Hospital is another large employer. The Oracle and Broad Street Mall shopping centres anchor a busy retail and leisure town centre, and the Reading Festival brings a huge influx of visitors every August.

In practice, Reading businesses tend to need:

- Microsoft 365 set up to a higher standard, with MFA, Conditional Access and Intune, because many work with corporate clients who ask about security.
- Support for contractors and small consultancies who need their own professional domain, email deliverability and a tidy website.
- Help with home and hybrid working setups across the wider Thames Valley, from Wokingham to Theale.
- Website maintenance for recruiters, consultancies and service businesses competing in a crowded local market.

Because so many Reading firms already work in the cloud, nearly all of this can be handled remotely.
