Not your average IT company.
Here’s what makes us different, and why it matters to your business.
IT support that actually feels different.
Most IT companies are reactive. They wait for something to break before they act. At Blowfish Technology, we’ve built our entire service model around the opposite approach. We monitor, protect and optimise your technology before problems happen, so your team can focus on what matters most.
We’re a local, owner-managed business, not a faceless national provider. When you call us, you speak to someone who knows your business, understands your setup and cares about getting the outcome right.
That’s why 98% of our clients stay with us year after year. Not because of a contract, but because they want to.
Proactive, not reactive
We fix problems before they affect your team, not after the damage is done.
No call centres
Real people who know your name and your business, every time you call.
Locally based
Rooted in Ormskirk, serving businesses across the North West.
One partner
IT, cyber security, cloud and comms, all from one trusted team.
Blowfish vs the rest.
What you get from a typical IT company, and what you get from us.
How we work with you.
Six stages, from the first conversation to a long-term partnership.
Understand your business
We start by listening: learning your goals, your frustrations and how technology fits into your day-to-day. No assumptions, no templates.
Build the right solution
We design a tailored technology solution that fits your business, not an off-the-shelf package that forces you to fit around it.
Onboard you properly
We handle the transition carefully, documenting everything, training your team and making sure nothing gets missed during the handover.
Monitor and protect
24/7 monitoring, proactive patching and layered cyber security keep your systems running and your data safe, around the clock.
Support when you need it
Fast, friendly support from people who know you, by phone, remote access or on-site. No ticket queues, no call centres, no runaround.
Grow with you
Regular reviews, strategic advice and a technology roadmap that evolves as your business grows. We’re a long-term partner, not a break-fix provider.

Eliminating downtime for a 60-staff manufacturer
Wigan-based precision engineering firm
The challenge
An ageing server infrastructure was causing regular system outages during production hours, costing the business thousands of pounds per incident. Their previous IT provider was slow to respond and reactive, often not aware of issues until production had already stopped.
What we did
Blowfish migrated the business to a fully managed cloud infrastructure, implemented 24/7 proactive monitoring and deployed a complete backup and disaster recovery solution. The transition was completed over a single weekend with zero production disruption.
“Blowfish transformed our IT from a constant source of stress to something we genuinely don’t have to think about. The peace of mind alone has been worth every penny.”

Securing a 35-person accountancy firm against cyber threats
Mid-sized accountancy practice, Greater Manchester
The challenge
A targeted phishing attack had compromised the Microsoft 365 accounts of two members of staff, leading to a near-miss business email compromise incident. The firm had no MFA, no email security and no visibility into what was happening inside their Microsoft 365 environment.
What we did
We deployed Huntress ITDR for 24/7 Microsoft 365 identity monitoring, rolled out Cisco Duo MFA across all accounts, implemented Keeper password management firm-wide and delivered targeted security awareness training to all staff. The firm achieved Cyber Essentials certification within six weeks.
“After the phishing incident we knew we had to act. Blowfish had us properly protected within weeks, and the team actually understood our concerns without drowning us in technical jargon.”

Modernising communications for a multi-site dental group
Four-practice dental group, Lancashire
The challenge
A growing dental group with four practices was struggling with disconnected phone systems that couldn’t transfer calls between sites, leading to frustrated patients and missed appointments. Staff were using personal mobile phones as a workaround, creating GDPR risks around patient data.
What we did
Blowfish designed and deployed a unified hosted VoIP system across all four sites, with seamless call transfer, shared voicemail, auto-attendant and full call recording for compliance. The solution also included managed mobiles for all clinical coordinators, replacing personal device usage entirely.
“The difference for our reception teams has been huge. Patients now get through first time and our staff aren’t running between practices trying to relay messages. It just works.”

Cloud migration and Microsoft 365 rollout for a growing logistics business
Regional logistics and haulage company, Merseyside
The challenge
Rapid growth had left the business with a patchwork of systems: on-premise servers, personal Dropbox accounts, and no consistent way for drivers and office staff to collaborate. Onboarding new staff was taking days and data was scattered across personal devices with no backup strategy in place.
What we did
Blowfish migrated the entire business to Microsoft 365, consolidating email, file storage, collaboration and communications into a single managed platform. We configured SharePoint for document management, deployed Intune for mobile device management across the driver fleet and built a standardised onboarding process that new starters could be set up on in under an hour.
“We were growing fast but our IT wasn’t keeping up. Blowfish got us onto a proper platform that scales with us. We’ve added 15 staff since the migration and every single onboarding has been seamless.”
