For over a decade, Education and IT Ltd has been the trusted technology partner for educational establishments across the UK. We understand that reliable IT infrastructure is essential for modern learning environments.
Our story began in 2006 when a group of dedicated Birmingham City Council technicians decided to forge their own path in educational technology support.
Established in 2006 by a group of Birmingham City Council technicians who set up on their own when the council decided to tender their services out. We started with unconventional headquarters - using McDonald's as our office and sometimes working from the back of our cars.
Starting with just one client, we focused on building trust and delivering exceptional service. Our dedication and expertise gradually attracted more educational establishments, and our client base began to grow steadily through word-of-mouth recommendations.
Our first proper office was at Warwick House in Tyseley, Birmingham. It was here that we took on our first employee, which quickly grew into a team of four. We expanded our services to include backup solutions, procurement, server installation and migrations, and WiFi services - tripling our turnover.
After Warwick House was developed, we moved to Radclyffe House on Hagley Road in Birmingham. During this period, software development kept coming up as a recurring theme. The question was: what software would truly serve the education sector?
After Radclyffe House, we moved to bigger premises at Radiohouse, the old BRMB location. This move reflected our continued growth and expanding client base as more educational establishments trusted us with their IT infrastructure and software solutions.
Thanks to Kitts Green Sure Start Centre for giving us the starting point we were looking for. They requested a visitor management system that was easy to use and not as convoluted as existing solutions. They were prepared to wait for us to deliver, marking the beginning of our software journey.
We have recently moved to 12 The Wharf, 16 Bridge Street, Birmingham, B1 2JS, which is our current home. This prestigious location in Birmingham City Centre reflects our continued success and growth. Today, we serve over 250 educational establishments across the UK, combining our hardware expertise with innovative software solutions like Entrée.
In the last couple of years, cybersecurity has become an essential part of IT in education. Recognizing this critical need, we have decided to offer comprehensive cybersecurity solutions to assist schools and our clients in protecting their valuable educational data and maintaining secure learning environments.
