Specialist Microsoft Cloud & Cyber Security provider ‘labdesk’ arrives in Warrington

WARRINGTON-based labdesk have launched a cloud + cyber security platform & services dedicated to enabling innovative teams working within regulated sectors.

Offering a suite of managed services across Cloud, IT and Cyber Security to enable teams within science, aerospace, engineering and clean energy sectors (and associated supply chains) to grow and stay safe by leveraging cloud technology.

labdesk was founded by Mike Douglass & James Rooney, IT professionals based in Warrington, Northwest. Both co-founders have many years experience providing managed IT & technology services within the clean energy and engineering sectors.

The team at labdesk, based at Birchwood Park, believe that leveraging secure cloud technology is the key to growth. They have developed the concept ‘technology value drivers’ – taking their partners on a journey from technology pain, viewing IT as a cost to changing their partners perception of technology to be an investment. Adding value to a business – supporting growth, boosting productivity, enhancing innovation and protecting assets.
Mike Douglass, labdesk Co-Founder comments;“Innovative teams and sectors are the driving force making the world a better place, from advancing science, to improving how we live. With the fast-paced world of innovation and business, its important teams within these sectors have access to world class technology.
labdesk is cloud + cyber security first, meaning all of our services, team & support are built to enable a modern-day business to grow, increase efficiencies and ensure security is optimised at every level.”

labdesk have curated a suite of cloud offerings built in partnership with the Microsoft Azure & 365 technology stacks. Teaming up with leading technology vendors to optimise the partners experience – Allowing rapid deployment, scalable services, improved reliability, and world-class support.
James Rooney added: ““We are building a brand with a purpose, to make a positive impact to the businesses and teams we work with. We are obsessed with partner experience and will be focused on delivering both XLA’s (experience level agreements) & SLA’s (service level agreements). Whilst we recognise it’s important to offer solid SLA’s, we strongly believe a focus on partner experience can elevate the businesses we work with, providing relevant tools and technology to enable them to do what they do best. A positive team is a happy team, which in turn is a productive team!”

Martin O’Rourke, Commercial Director at Birchwood Park, added: “We are delighted to welcome labdesk to Birchwood Park. This is a testament to the Park’s appeal, following Scientific Consultancy, Quintessa’s recent relocation to 401 last December, as well as Galliford Try earlier in Q4.
Underlining Birchwood Park’s commitment to sustainability and workplace wellbeing, Martin emphasised the alignment of labdesk’s values with the Park’s own: “labdesk’s new office has been created with flexible working in mind, providing both current and future staff the opportunity to benefit from adaptable working hours.
“Additionally, labdesk staff can take full advantage of versatile meeting and co-working spaces in the EngineRooms, ensuring the evolving needs of staff can be consistently met.”
