We initially supplied standalone systems on a single PC and over a period of 5 years computerised over 500 local businesses. This quickly developed into setting up Networks for multi user packages. It soon became clear that clients needed help with these systems on a day to day basis and IT support Bury was offered as a service from 1995. Over the years our company has grown in size to cater for the needs of our expanding client base.

The client moved location to new larger offices in Bolton and they were looking for an in house presence for their IT Support. This led to an interesting opportunity for Hands-On and we opened an office in the same building enabling us to offer IT Support in Bolton and the surrounding area. In 2016 we moved into our own purpose built offices in Bolton and are pleased with the increasing number of Bolton based clients we now service.
