Where It All Began

 
KJL Group started out primarily in the Automotive sector, before branching out into a wider number of verticals, not only providing traditional IT Support, but also bespoke software solutions.
 
Kevin much prefers the term “Technology Management” rather than I.T. He is always pushing the technical teams that look after our clients to consider all areas of technology and not just the IT aspect. This is to create a harmonious technical environment bringing together best-of-breed technologies throughout the business to maximise efficiencies and enhance output.


KJL Group's Philosophies
We have grown over the past 25 plus years organically and always at a rate that has ensured our customers can still be supported to the highest possible levels.
 
It has always been important to us to only promote and install a select few brands and technologies. This ensures our teams can always remain experts and not dilute the in-depth product knowledge by opening to too many new brands.
 
Our other main philosophy is to always communicate with our customers in plain English and not to confuse customers by talking tech at them. We have found over the years that our clients appreciate our honest and plain-speaking approach.




Providing Everything A Business Needs


From those early days of IT Support and bespoke software, we are now a full-on technology company. We provide everything a business could require, this includes:

• IT Support
• Hardware
• Cyber Security
• Networking Solutions
