razorblue is a fast‑growing IT managed services and technology consultancy headquartered in the North East of England. Founded in 2006, the company has expanded from a small local outfit into a national managed service provider (MSP) with over 200 team members, multiple offices across the UK, and a client base of more than 500 businesses spanning diverse sectors. Its growth has been driven by a combination of proactive service delivery, strategic acquisitions, regional expansion, and a strong focus on customer‑centric relationships.
At its core, razorblue provides a comprehensive suite of IT services designed to help organisations keep their digital operations secure, resilient, and efficient. These services include managed IT support and security, cloud and datacentre solutions, superfast connectivity, telephony and mobile systems, Microsoft consulting, and bespoke software development. The company emphasises proactive monitoring, strategic guidance, and tailored solutions that align with each client’s operational goals, helping businesses manage their technology environments with greater confidence and scalability.
A defining feature of razorblue’s approach is its end‑to‑end support model. Unlike traditional IT support firms that focus solely on reactive problem‑solving, razorblue combines 24/7 service desk coverage with strategic consultancy, solution architecture, and on‑site engineering. It also operates its own national backbone network, which enhances control over connectivity and service quality. This integrated model aims to minimise downtime, strengthen cyber defences, and drive digital transformation across the organisations it serves.
Over the years, razorblue has deliberately expanded its footprint beyond the North East. It now runs offices in regions including Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, London, Teesside, North Yorkshire, and Scotland, which helps it deliver localised service while maintaining national reach. The company’s growth strategy also includes involvement in government frameworks, such as being named a supplier on the Crown Commercial Service’s Technology Services 4 framework, enabling it to serve public sector organisations through compliant procurement routes.
Additionally, razorblue invests in skills development and community engagement, operating apprenticeship initiatives and partnerships with educational institutions to nurture future IT talent. Its business ethos places strong emphasis on people — both clients and employees — underpinned by values of collaboration, inclusivity, and continual improvement. This people‑first philosophy, combined with a broad technical capability, positions razorblue as a trusted IT partner for UK businesses navigating today’s complex technology landscape.
