Founder of 39D. Managed IT, cybersecurity and technical leadership.
I have spent more than 20 years working in IT, networking and telecommunications and founded 39D to give smaller businesses dependable technology support and access to deeper technical expertise.
Founder of 39D
I am the founder of 39D, a UK managed service provider focused on supporting small and growing businesses. 39D acts as an outsourced IT department for clients that need reliable day-to-day support, proactive management and access to specialists without having to build every capability internally.
Our work covers managed IT support, Microsoft 365, cybersecurity, backup and business continuity, cloud services, connectivity, networks and VoIP. My role combines technical direction with the practical responsibility of making sure technology supports the client's business rather than becoming another source of risk or complexity.
IT management for SMEs
For many clients, the requirement is broader than fixing tickets. They need someone to take ownership of technology: review risk, plan improvements, challenge suppliers, prioritise investment, improve security and give management a clear view of what should happen next. That is where my experience as a founder, technical director and hands-on engineer comes together.
Cybersecurity as part of everyday IT
Security should not be a separate exercise that happens once a year. I focus on practical controls that smaller businesses can actually operate: MFA, endpoint protection, Microsoft 365 security, backups, staff awareness, Cyber Essentials, secure networks, business continuity and sensible incident preparation.
Technical depth behind the MSP
My earlier and continuing specialist work includes ISP operations, BGP, IPv6, multi-carrier connectivity, high availability, DDoS resilience, routing security, MikroTik and high-capacity infrastructure. I am Cisco CCNA and MikroTik qualified. That network engineering background remains valuable when an SME or 39D client has a requirement that goes beyond normal desktop IT support.
How I work
The personal site is where I share my experience and provide direct consultations. Where a requirement needs ongoing support or a broader managed service, 39D provides the team and service platform behind it. Further consultancy and implementation work is scoped separately after an initial consultation.
