IT strategy & consulting
Straight advice on where to invest in technology. And, just as importantly, where not to.
Independent IT advice for growing businesses.
Direct access to over twenty years of enterprise technology experience. I help you set the right strategy, then work alongside your IT support provider to see it delivered properly.
No offshore helpdesk. No account handler. Just competent, friendly technical expertise, direct from the person doing the work.
What I can help with.
Senior technology leadership, without hiring a full-time director.
Cybersecurity advisory
Practical protection built on hands-on enterprise security experience, sized to fit your business rather than a checklist.
Cloud migration & infrastructure planning
Planning the infrastructure your business depends on, so whoever builds and runs it is working to the right brief.
IT support oversight
Working alongside your existing IT support company, making sure the advice given gets delivered the way it was intended.

Your provider keeps running things day to day. I make sure they're building the right things.

Twenty years leading technology. Now advising on it.
I'm Simon Hill. I've spent over twenty years leading technology teams, the last five focused specifically on cybersecurity.
Today I work as an independent consultant, advising mid-market businesses on the right direction for their technology and working alongside their IT support company to see it through.
I'm based in the Bristol area and support clients remotely across the country.
Common questions.
Do you replace our IT support company?
No. I work alongside your existing IT support provider. They keep running things day to day; I help set the right technology strategy and make sure it gets delivered the way it was intended.
What kind of businesses do you work with?
Mid-market and growing businesses that have IT support in place but nobody senior setting their technology direction.
What can you help with?
IT strategy and consulting, cybersecurity advisory, cloud migration and infrastructure planning, and oversight of your IT support provider.
What experience do you have?
Over twenty years leading technology teams, the last five focused specifically on cybersecurity. You deal with me directly: no offshore helpdesk and no account handler.
Where are you based, and do you work remotely?
I'm based in the Bristol area and support clients remotely across the UK.
