We were extremely honoured to receive the Best in Business Award at this month’s Festival of Business, hosted by Essex Chambers of Commerce, and even more delighted to get some indoor fireworks to help us celebrate! This award isn’t just a trophy – it’s a celebration of the people, partnerships, and progress that have powered our journey for more than 25 years.
Rooted in Essex – Our Community, Our Commitment
From our inception as a family-run team of three in Stansted Mountfitchet, our mission was simple: make technology work for people, not the other way around. What started as a vision to simplify IT for local businesses has grown into a trusted network of partnerships across Essex and the Southeast.
Today, TechWyse is a dynamic team of 18 based near Takeley, supporting over 145 organisations – from charities and biomedical innovators to construction firms, manufacturers, and professional services. These businesses form the backbone of our local economy, and we’re proud to help them thrive.
Essex isn’t just where we work – it’s our home. With over two-thirds of our clients based in the region and all but one of our team living here, every success we’ve achieved has been built on local collaboration and partnerships. We love the fact that we have such high staff retention and over 67% of our clients have partnered with us for more than five years – some for over two decades! Our longest partnerships are all with Essex based businesses and we are proud to be long term supporters of two Essex based charities - Essex Wildlife Trust and Mid and North East Essex Mind. We are sponsoring Mid and North East Essex Mind at the Colchester Stampede for the third year running in 2026, and some of our team are in training already.

Building Trust Through Standards
At TechWyse, trust isn’t just a value – it’s a responsibility. We’ve achieved ISO 27001 certification and are accredited with the Good Business Charter, demonstrating our commitment to security and governance. But we’re not stopping there.
We’re now working towards the Assurix MSP Trust Mark, a new benchmark for managed service providers. This isn’t just about compliance – it’s about creating a culture of accountability and transparency that benefits every business we work with.
Why does this matter for Essex businesses?
- Higher Standards Across the Region: Stronger security, clearer processes, and greater confidence for local organisations.
- Protecting What Matters: Cyber threats are evolving – businesses need partners they can rely on.
- Driving Collective Progress: When one business raises its standards, others follow. Our goal is to inspire a ripple effect across Essex.
For us, these certifications aren’t just badges – they’re proof of our promise: to deliver IT solutions that are secure, transparent, and built on trust.
Looking Ahead
Winning the Best in Business Award is a proud moment, but it’s only the start of our mission to become Essex’s most trusted IT support partner. Success for us isn’t just about turnover and profit – it’s about the trust we earn, the partnerships we build, and creating positive impact and value that lasts.
Looking forward, we’re investing in cyber resilience, AI-driven solutions, and skills development to ensure Essex businesses are ready for the future. Our vision is clear: to lead with transparency, talent, and trust – and make technology a force for good in every organisation we support.
This award reminds us that when businesses unite around common goals, the impact is powerful.
Let’s keep the momentum going – building a stronger, more secure, and more connected Essex for generations to come.
