IT support for small businesses in Hastings and St Leonards
Practical IT help for sole traders and businesses with 2–25 employees. Speak directly to Andy about day-to-day support, Microsoft 365, computers and networks.
A different kind of IT support.
After more than 26 years working in enterprise IT, I created Forge42 to offer something different — honest, dependable technology support without the complexity of large IT providers. Whether you're a homeowner with a slow laptop or a growing business needing reliable IT, you'll receive the same personal service, clear communication and practical advice.
— Andy Goody, FounderBuilt for people, not tickets.
Small businesses
One point of contact for your network, Microsoft 365 and the day-to-day problems that eat up an afternoon — priced for a business your size, not an enterprise contract.
Home users
A slow laptop, a Wi-Fi dead spot upstairs, a printer that's stopped talking to your phone — explained in plain terms, diagnosed properly, and fixed right.
Tradespeople & home offices
IT that stays out of your way — so a router outage or a broken laptop doesn't cost you a day's bookings.
What makes us different.
One point of contact
When you call, you're speaking to the person who'll actually do the work — start to finish, one person, one conversation.
We'll tell you if you don't need us
If an affordable upgrade will give your computer a few more good years, we'll say so. We won't recommend replacing something that doesn't need replacing.
We come to you
Free collection across Hastings, St Leonards, Bexhill and Battle — no need to lug a broken laptop anywhere. Prefer us to come to you? Home visits are also available, at our standard rate.
