About AJT Managed IT Services: Simple, effective and proactive partnership

Hi there! We’re AJT Managed IT Services and we help Sussex-based companies do better business. If you’re looking for secure IT systems backed by proactive in-person support to minimise downtime and protect your data, we’re the partner for you.

AJT Managed IT Services’ story

Founded in 2019, AJT Managed IT Services was the brainchild of our now Managing Director, Russell Walker. An engineer who’s worked in the SMB IT support sector since 1999, Russell has 25+ years experience in the industry. Drawing on his knowledge from working at Managed Service Providers in the UK & abroad, he wanted to create a brand new MSP that delivers what clients want: peace of mind from secure IT systems backed by friendly, expert support.

Around the same time, long-established Brighton-based electrical contractors AJ Taylor were considering alternative options for their IT provider. Friends for years, Luke from the electrical business approached Russell for help. Thanks to the synergies across the two businesses – you can’t have IT without electricity – the decision was made for AJ Taylor Electrical to support Russ’ new IT services business, with them as his first client. And so AJT Managed IT Services was born.

1 years later, Matt Artley joins Russell, bringing with him another 15 years of on-the-ground IT support experience from his work at agencies, MSPs and as a self-employed IT consultant. As Technical Director, Matt is passionate about serving local Sussex-based businesses and is a huge advocate of onsite technical visits to create the most effective IT solutions. 

In 2023, Neil Wilson joined the AJT team as Technical Manager. Neil’s always had a passion for computing – he built his first computer from scratch when he was just 15 – and has honed his people skills through working as a teacher. This combo of IT expertise and approachability makes him the perfect fit for AJT and our clients.

Today, Russell, Matt and Neil are supported by a team of helpdesk engineers. Together, the team pride themselves on providing quick, no-nonsense support and, most importantly, getting things fixed the first time.

AJT Managed IT services boasts an impressive client roster of small-to-medium businesses based in Brighton and the Sussex area, as well as national and international customers. The team help law firms, surveyors, accountants, tech & game developers, consultancy professionals and many other businesses beat all of their common IT challenges, through:

• Minimised downtime & quick issue resolution
• Proactive maintenance & support
• Robust security & data encryption
• Understanding of relevant regulation & compliance requirements

All of the experience, none of the jargon

AJT Managed IT Services has been operating since 2019 and across the team, we have 60 years combined experience. 60 years! That’s older than the internet itself. Over that time, we’ve learned that our tech lingo doesn’t always translate. We promise to work with you in clear terms, with minimal jargon, so you know exactly how our work helps you do business better.

Fixes that are right first time = less business downtime

Our experience has of course also developed our technical knowhow. You can trust us to fix the trickiest issues and come up with innovative solutions to your IT problems. We know cloud, networking & infrastructure, software and hardware support inside out – and we use our knowledge to get you back up and running as soon as possible.

Proactivity to protect you from issues before they arise

It’s not just about fixing things – it’s about identifying and addressing potential IT issues before they escalate. We proactively monitor your systems and perform regular maintenance to catch problems before they start, reducing unexpected outages.

Peace of mind that your security is in safe hands

You want the peace of mind of knowing your IT support takes security as seriously as you do. Thanks to our partnership with Bitdefender, we protect against cyber attacks and data breaches through 24/7 monitoring, real-time threat detection and instant incident response, ensuring no digital threat goes unnoticed.
