Air IT’s offerings include IT Support, with a 24/7 service desk offering round-the-clock availability, as well as Cloud Infrastructure, Modern Workplace, plus specialist divisions in Cyber Security and Business Intelligence.
A Local Personalised Service
Now with 570 staff nationwide, Air IT and SoConnect can offer a local, personalised service to 2,900 SMEs backed by the support and expertise of a UK-wide operation.
As well as our shared commitment to delivering an unrivalled customer experience, we are particularly excited about the opportunity to further enhance our cyber security capabilities. Air IT has its own specialist managed cyber security division, Air Sec, which specialises in advanced detection and protection against threats, helping SMEs safeguard their systems, data and people.
Further to this, Air IT is making significant advancements and investment into the delivery of new emerging technologies, including the adoption of bespoke data analytics, AI and automation solutions. As well as enhancing its own operational and client experience standards, Air IT is committed to sharing the same capabilities with clients. This means clients can gain the same competitive edge within their own organisations, across a variety of business functions and sectors.
Most importantly, we’re looking forward to the significant benefits Air IT can offer to the overall development of our people, systems, products and services, which will ultimately enable us to continue providing long lasting value to our clients.

Our wider team will be staying within the business and contact numbers for account and support queries will be unchanged.
