Westlake IT has been keeping Hampshire businesses running since 2005. We’re not a faceless helpdesk — we’re a small, tight team who know our clients by name and actually care whether their technology works.
We’re a Microsoft Solutions Partner, which means we meet Microsoft’s standards for expertise and support. But more importantly, we’re the people who pick up the phone.
Areas we cover
We are able to provide IT services across the UK. From our base in Hampshire we offer our complete range of managed IT services to the entire region, with many clients being further afield. Local IT support in Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton, Fareham, Chichester, Gosport, Havant, Petersfield, Waterlooville, Winchester, and everwhere inbetween.
The Team
Westlake IT is led by Chris Apperley, who founded the business in 2005 with a simple idea — that small and medium businesses in Hampshire deserved the same quality of IT support as much larger companies, without the corporate nonsense that usually comes with it.
Twenty-one years later that hasn’t changed. Chris is still hands-on with clients, still based in Waterlooville, and still genuinely interested in how technology can make a real difference to the businesses we work with.
Behind Chris is a small team of engineers who share the same approach — technically strong, easy to talk to, and focused on actually solving problems rather than logging tickets and moving on.
No layers of management. No being passed around. Just people who know what they’re doing and care about getting it right.
