WorkReady will help power start-ups and scale ups across the South East to scale faster and unlock their potential.
Award-winning managed service provider, Select Technology has launched a brand-new service to support the fastest growing businesses in the region. WorkReady is the first product launch from the Paddock Wood based company since joining Locate in Kent’s corporate partner scheme in March with a particular focus on helping start-ups and SMEs with high growth potential.
WorkReady is aimed at businesses across all sectors that can too often be left to their own devices when it comes to IT support, with none of the benefits that larger companies enjoy. This new service is aimed at putting that right by giving smaller businesses access to expert IT support that may previously have been out of reach.
Nick Potter, Managing Director, Select Technology, said: “At a time when small businesses have the potential to scale faster than ever, many are held back by outdated IT systems and rising security risks. With WorkReady, scale ups can eliminate IT friction, reduce downtime, and free up leadership to focus on what matters most – growing the business.”
“Our WorkReady service is built specifically for ambitious SMEs who want more than just basic IT support. This new solution combines expert IT support, cybersecurity measures and automation and AI advice, alongside the latest devices – so businesses can innovate confidently, streamline operations, and stay secure while focusing on growth.”
Select Technology has been providing the highest quality IT support and technology for clients across the Southeast since 1994. It is one of the leading champions of a sector that employs almost 55,000 people with prospects looking good for a continued successful future.
IT support is one of the region’s biggest job generators for good reason with technology playing an ever-increasing role in business life – from day-to-day computer breakdowns and the potential of Artificial Intelligence to keeping hackers at bay. The new WorkReady service fits in with Select Technology’s commitment as a Locate in Kent partner to support business growth in Kent, Medway and across the Southeast.
Nick Fenton, CEO Locate in Kent, said: “We’re delighted to see Select Technology launching this new service to support Kent’s scale-up and start-up community. As Kent’s economy continues to grow at pace, driven by over £50bn of investment opportunities, the tech sector plays an increasingly vital role in powering innovation, productivity, and high-value job creation.
“Fast-growing businesses are central to the UK’s future economic resilience, and Kent and Medway is proud to be nurturing the talent, infrastructure, and ambition that makes that growth possible.”
