Why AMP?

If you’re looking for IT support in Lancashire, why choose AMP?

Any good IT company should be able to offer you solid technical expertise. That’s a given. It’s as true of AMP as it is of many other professional providers, but it’s not what makes us different.

Where we excel is in our ability to keep your organisation functioning at peak efficiency. We’ll ensure that your systems are robust and well protected, and through proactive monitoring, we’ll make it our business to fix potential faults before they can have an impact. And if you do happen to be facing any problems, then we’ll make them our problems too – and we’ll solve them.

The difference is about willingness to help. We like to think of ourselves as the glue that holds our clients’ operations together. We make sure that all your systems talk to one another; that hardware, operating systems, software, drivers, communications, and security measures all work as part of a seamless whole.

We are the glue that holds our clients’ operations together.

Adam - Managing Director

Adam - Managing Director

Founder, MD and client-pleaser in chief, Adam first discovered his interest in computing when his primary school borrowed a PC for a week. His interest persisted and, after studying at Lancaster University, he worked as a database programmer, gaining experience in ten programming languages. Now, at the helm of AMP, he has a more strategic role but still enjoys the technical jobs on the rare occasions when he allows himself to do them.
Debbie - Administration & Customer Service

Debbie - Office Manager

Debbie went into the IT industry looking for a challenge, and she found it with AMP. Now, more than five years later, she’s still enjoying the world of high technology and has taken charge of the company’s admin and communications.

James - Technical Director

James was the first to join Adam at AMP, shortly after the company started life in a small shop in Garstang. With years of experience and a degree in Software Engineering, he’s pretty much all-round great at everything. He says that his favourite parts of the job are working with new technologies, “and then getting to break them.”
Mark - IT Engineer

Mark - Helpdesk Manager

15 years of IT experience have made Mark our resident expert on all matters of digital security. He started out with a personal interest in computers – building PCs for family and friends – and a full-time career grew from there. He’s a natural problem-solver, so if you need advice with anything relating to virus protection or cyber security, he’s the man to call.

AMP: A Lancashire IT Company

AMP is a Lancashire-based IT Support specialist. There are fancy ways of saying it, but, quite simply, we’re a bunch of techies who are very serious about the quality of the services and support we provide!

Managing Director Adam Purnell founded AMP in 1999. He launched the company from a home office in Garstang but, within a frenetic 12 months, he was forced to move to larger premises in Blackpool. As a business and as a team, we then grew quickly, building on our reputation for technical excellence and ‘going the extra mile’. In 2015, with a plan to expand into the IT training market, we moved to our current offices in the docklands of Preston. Today, we operate from our headquarters in Preston, and we serve small and mid-sized clients across the North West, from Cumbria to Greater Manchester.

Our business might have evolved over the years, but our ethos remains the same. We provide honest, reliable services that leave you free to concentrate on running your business.

We provide honest, reliable services.
