Founded on One Simple Belief.
IT support shouldn't feel confusing, frustrating, or impossible to deal with.
Simply IT was founded in 2011 by David Barreau. After years working within complex IT environments, David saw the same problem happening again and again — schools, businesses, and even families at home were being left with technology that felt overly complicated, difficult to manage, and unsupported when it mattered most.
What started as a mission to help local schools soon grew through word of mouth, trust, and long-term relationships. Over the years, Simply IT expanded into supporting businesses and smart home users across Northamptonshire, the East Midlands, and beyond — providing practical, reliable IT support without the jargon or corporate attitude many people had become used to.
Today, Simply IT remains a family-run business built around people, relationships, and doing things properly. We're not a huge corporate provider with layers of account managers and scripted responses. We're a close-knit team that genuinely cares about the people and organisations we support.
Many of our clients have been with us for years because they know we'll answer the phone, explain things clearly, and work alongside them as trusted partners — not just another supplier.
From day-to-day IT support and repairs to infrastructure projects, cybersecurity, WiFi, cloud services, hosting, and long-term IT planning, our goal has always stayed the same:
To make technology simpler, more reliable, and less stressful for the people who depend on it every day.
After more than 14 years in business, we're proud that Simply IT has continued to grow steadily through relationships, recommendations, and trust — while staying true to the values we started with from day one.
