Choosing IT support in West Yorkshire: what to ask before you sign

Local matters more than you think

Remote support covers most day-to-day fixes, but when the server room overheats or Wi-Fi dies during a site visit, you want someone who can be in Heckmondwike, Dewsbury or Leeds the same afternoon — not routing you through a national helpdesk reading a script.

MBITGROUP is based on Cemetery Road in Heckmondwike. We serve businesses across West Yorkshire with remote-first support and on-site when hands on the kit is the only answer.

Questions worth asking any provider

1. Who answers the phone? Same team or outsourced tier-one?
2. What's included in monthly fees vs billed extra?
3. How do you handle after-hours emergencies?
4. Do you monitor backups and patching, or wait for us to report smoke?
5. Can we leave without a hostage situation over passwords and documentation?
6. Do you document our environment as you go?

Red flags

• Won't give client references in your sector
• Insists on buying hardware only through them at opaque markup
• No written SLA or response targets
• You don't own admin on Microsoft 365 / your domain
• "We don't do Macs" when half your marketing team does

Try before you marry
