Managed IT Services

Our Managed IT Services typically include proactive monitoring, IT support (helpdesk), device and user management, Microsoft 365 support, patching and updates, cyber security best practice configuration, backup and recovery support, and ongoing service management.

The HBP Group delivers managed IT as a complete service, designed to keep your systems stable day-to-day while continuously improving performance and reducing risk over time.

The cost of managed IT support varies depending on the size of your business, the complexity of your systems and the level of service you need. Most UK businesses pay between £20 and £80 per user per month, though what's actually included at each price point can differ significantly between providers.

At The HBP Group, our packages start from £41.67 per user per month for fully managed IT support — with no hidden costs for the core service. We offer three tiers depending on your needs, from foundational support through to fully managed IT with unlimited projects included.

We're transparent about how our pricing works, what's included at each level and how we compare to the wider market — including why some providers charge less and what that usually means in practice.

Choose a managed IT partner that aligns technology to your business goals — not just someone who closes tickets. Look for proactive monitoring, clear SLAs, regular reviews, strong cyber security fundamentals, and a track record of reducing recurring issues. The best partners also take time to understand how your organisation works and provide a roadmap for improvement.

At The HBP Group, this is exactly how we work: we focus on aligning IT to your goals and current challenges, then deliver the systems, support and strategy needed to improve performance, reduce risk and enable growth.

Recurring issues are usually caused by underlying configuration, process, or device health problems — not one-off incidents. The best way to reduce downtime is to monitor systems proactively, apply patching and maintenance consistently, and resolve root causes rather than applying repeated workarounds.

This is built into The HBP Group’s managed service: we use proactive monitoring and structured escalation to identify patterns, fix issues properly, and reduce repeat incidents across your business.

Yes. A strong managed IT provider should be able to support remote and multi-site organisations with consistent security, responsive support, and proactive device management — regardless of where users work.

The HBP Group is well-suited to remote and multi-site teams, with a large number of our existing customers placed across multiple locations across thre UK, providing secure access, proactive monitoring, and dependable support to keep users productive wherever they are.

In many cases, yes — especially for small and mid-sized organisations. Managed IT gives you access to a full team of expertise (helpdesk, escalation engineers, security, service delivery) for a predictable monthly cost, without the overheads of recruitment, training, cover, and tooling.

At The HBP Group, we support businesses with or without an internal IT team. If you already have IT in place, we can work alongside them to provide additional capacity, specialist expertise, proactive monitoring, and escalation support — helping your IT function deliver more, with less pressure.

Yes. Co-managed IT is ideal when you have an internal IT lead or team but need additional coverage, specialist expertise, escalation support, or proactive monitoring. It strengthens internal capability without taking control away.

The HBP Group works collaboratively with internal IT teams, providing structured escalation, extra capacity, and specialist support — so your team stays in control while gaining the support needed to improve stability, security, and delivery.

Many providers focus mainly on reactive support — fixing issues as they arise. A true managed IT partner takes a business-first approach, balancing security with productivity, improving systems over time, and providing reporting and accountability.

The HBP Group stands out because we align IT to your goals and current challenges, combining proactive support, structured service delivery, and ongoing improvement so your IT becomes a business enabler — not a bottleneck.

Proactive monitoring checks the health of your devices and systems to spot issues before they impact users. This includes monitoring performance, storage capacity, patch status, security signals, and common failure points. When thresholds are reached, automated actions and/or engineer intervention can be triggered to prevent downtime.

The HBP Group uses proactive monitoring as a core part of our Managed IT Services, helping reduce disruption, prevent repeat issues, and keep users working without interruption.

A strong managed IT provider should have a structured escalation process so issues are handled by the right level of engineer quickly. First-line resolves common issues fast, while complex problems are escalated to senior engineers and specialists to ensure proper resolution.

The HBP Group uses a structured support and escalation model so problems are resolved efficiently, root causes are addressed, and complex issues don’t get stuck in an endless cycle of repeat tickets.
