> Many engineering, fabrication and maintenance firms in Scunthorpe that supply the steelworks are now looking to diversify, and a better website helps. dijitul supports them remotely from Mansfield with IT, email and web work, and visits are priced in advance. Plans start from £25 a month + VAT; ad-hoc help is £45 an hour + VAT.

Scunthorpe is the UK's best-known steel town. British Steel's Scunthorpe works, one of the last sites in the country making steel from iron ore in blast furnaces, has shaped the town's economy and the hundreds of engineering, fabrication, maintenance and logistics firms that supply it. Its future has been a national news story, and many local businesses are looking to diversify their customer base.

North Lincolnshire's wider economy includes food processing, logistics along the M180, and port activity on the Humber and the River Trent. Business parks and industrial estates around the town hold engineering, transport and manufacturing firms, and market towns such as Brigg, Barton-upon-Humber and Epworth have plenty of agricultural, trade and retail businesses. North Lindsey College provides further and higher education, including engineering courses that support the local industrial base.

Engineering and industrial suppliers in Scunthorpe need IT that is practical and dependable: servers and accounts systems backed up off site, email protected from invoice fraud, and engineers' laptops and tablets that work on site and on the road. Firms looking for new customers in sectors such as renewables, rail or defence often need to show better security, so MFA, device encryption, patching and Cyber Essentials preparation are common topics. Many smaller businesses also need a better website to win work outside the steel supply chain, plus a Google Business Profile that ranks for local searches. Farm businesses around the town need connectivity solutions and help with farm management and accounts software.
