About Matthew Southgate

Twenty years solving difficult network problems.

Matthew Southgate is an ISP network architect, cyber security consultant and founder of an award-winning managed service provider.

Practical technical leadership

Matthew has spent more than 20 years working across ISP operations, network management, managed services and business-critical infrastructure. His work combines architecture, hands-on implementation and operational planning.

He is Cisco CCNA and MikroTik qualified, with specialist experience in BGP, IPv6, multi-carrier connectivity, high availability, DDoS resilience, routing security and 100G infrastructure.

Designed for MSP and consultancy partners

Engagements can be delivered directly, as a specialist subcontractor, or white-labelled behind an established MSP or large IT consultancy. The objective is to strengthen the delivery team without competing for the underlying client relationship.

Geographic coverage

Matthew focuses on London, Essex and Kent so he can remain closely involved with 39D, while travelling throughout the UK and Europe for the right strategic projects.

Consulting is intended for complex projects and retained advisory work. New implementation engagements normally start at £10,000.
