Meet the founder
I completed an apprenticeship with DXC Technology and worked on UK government contracts supporting DEFRA organisations, including the Environment Agency, RPA, and the Marine Management Organisation.
Across the i-Action workplace team, that work supported a combined user base of over 40,000. The role required Security Clearance (SC) and strict enterprise standards.
That experience shapes how Ether IT Support operates today: disciplined, secure, well-documented delivery with clear, friendly communication.
- Completed an apprenticeship with DXC Technology, delivering support on UK government contracts.
- Supported DEFRA organisations including RPA, the Environment Agency, and the Marine Management Organisation, across a combined user base of over 40,000.
- Worked to enterprise standards, including Security Clearance (SC), secure controls, and repeatable support processes.
Working at that scale leaves little room for shortcuts - processes matter.
Enterprise standards do not have to mean enterprise complexity - we apply the same discipline in a way that works for small businesses.
