Technology support for local government
Parish and town councils face growing expectations around communication, cyber security, digital services and information management, often with limited internal technical resources. I help councillors and clerks make sensible decisions and maintain reliable services.
Microsoft 365 & email
Professional council email, councillor accounts, licence reviews, shared mailboxes, user administration and secure access.
Domains & websites
Domain management, DNS, website suppliers and continuity of online services, including planning a move to a .gov.uk address if you are considering one.
Cyber security
Practical steps for stronger accounts, devices, email protection and access controls.
Voice & connectivity
Phone systems, broadband and communications for council offices and staff.
Supplier reviews
Independent advice on contracts, renewals, service levels and value.
Flexible support
Day-to-day help and project support without an oversized package.

Good-value, defensible decisions
The aim is to reduce avoidable risk and help the council understand its options without adding unnecessary complexity.
Councils also handle personal data and information requests. I can help you think through email retention, access controls and where information is stored, so that requests are easier to deal with.
Where I work
I support councils around Chesham, Amersham, High Wycombe and Beaconsfield, and work with clerks and councillors across the wider area, in person or remotely.
Frequently asked questions
Can you help us move to professional council email?
Yes. I can review the domain, Microsoft 365 licensing, mailboxes, access and the practical steps needed for a controlled move.
Should councillors use council email addresses?
Using council-controlled accounts keeps council business separate from personal email and makes information requests easier to manage. I can help set them up and explain how they would work.
Can you help us think about a .gov.uk domain?
Yes. I can look at your current domain, website and email arrangements and plan the change so nothing is lost along the way.
Can you work with our website supplier?
Yes. I can help clarify responsibilities for the domain, DNS, hosting and continuity.
Can you provide help for a one-off project?
Yes. Support can be provided for a defined review, migration or supplier change as well as for ongoing needs.
