How did we start?

Lewis Shepherd - Your Tech Expert

“I’m Lewis, the director of Shepherd IT. I had a passion for technology since I was a young boy, I excelled in IT and computer science at college and started my career as a technology analyst helping people with their businesses IT problems.

While I loved my job and the clients I worked with, I found I was becoming really frustrated and annoyed with the way that the company did things. It didn’t put the clients first. It wasn’t part of the role to help our clients grow and improve. The client wasn’t at the heart of everything that was being done, it was what they can do for us and not what we can do for them. And to me that was wrong.

One day, something just clicked inside me. I realised that I needed to go and do this for myself. To find my own clients and help them in the same way that I would help my own business. To really make a difference in what they did and to make sure that their business was secure.

In 2020, I handed in my notice and took the step to set up Shepherd IT. I haven’t looked back since! Since 2020 we’ve grown in exactly the way I’d hoped for. I have my own team now, and dozens and dozens of businesses in the area see us as a trusted IT support partner.

We know that we’ve played a part in helping each business to reach their goals, stop them from being hacked, and hit their targets. And that’s a great feeling!”

Our clients love what we do for them

“I have viewed my email system as a weak point in my security set up – until I met you. Your credentials are impeccable. I am also impressed by how straight forward you make the process and totally agree with your mantra of getting the setup right to save hours in the future. Even when our setup was not quite right, you were fast to respond and had the problem dealt with quickly with a short-term fix to get things running, and a long-term solution to remove the problem. I am thoroughly impressed by your skills and knowledge. This combined with your straight forward approach to pricing and implementing your services means that I would actively encourage all my clients – especially those in the Healthcare sector with special category data, to use your services.”

“As a small Business owner, proper IT security and support was something I knew I needed. Unfortunately, though, most of the IT support companies out there are only interested in the bigger fish. Shepherd Services was able to offer a solution to suit my needs at an affordable price. Not only that, but if I have issues, The team always gets back to me quickly. I might not need to speak to him every day, but I now have total peace of mind that I’m being looked after.”

Alison Blackwood

“I just wanted to say a big thank you for your actions yesterday. I realize it is what I pay you for, but I was very happy with your service and of course that you were able to overcome and repair the issue. The fact that you were able to do this without disrupting my operation of tutoring was of real benefit.”
