Outstanding IT professional services across the UK, that have stood the test of time...

After taking the reins in 2023, TechAlign has been headed up by Sarah Hutchinson after years focused on business operations...

“Taking over TechAlign from Chris was both an honour and a big moment for me personally. I had witnessed his journey from the very beginning, and later joined him in 2019. It didn’t take long to see that Chris had built something special in TechAlign…  Driven by integrity, deep technical expertise, and a genuine desire to help businesses thrive through technology.

When I stepped into the role of Managing Director, I didn’t just inherit a company, I inherited a responsibility to our clients, our team, and to the values that have guided TechAlign from the start. My goal has been to take what Chris built and carry it forward with purpose – ensuring continuity, nurturing our strengths, and helping more organisations get tangible value, from their technology world.

One of TechAlign’s greatest strengths has always been its focus on people. Whether we’re solving complex infrastructure challenges, guiding businesses through complex change, or helping clients get more from their technology – we do it by listening first, then working closely with our clients to find the right path forward.

We have a fantastic team of consultants within TechAlign. The depth of knowledge, the pride they take in their work, and the way they care about our clients’ success is clear. What truly sets us apart is not just our technical expertise, but our ability to talk human, adapt, and always put our clients first, and is why we’ve earned a reputation for being trusted, dependable partners.

I’m proud of how far we’ve come, and excited about where we’re going next.”

TechAlign MD Sarah Hutchinson

A brief snapshot of our history

Inspired future anchored in strong roots

TechAlign’s core principles of personal people-first relationships, integrity, vendor-neutrality paired with oustanding service delivery, all backed by deep technical expertise, live on.  The natural alignment between first class fully independent IT consultancy surrounding M&A / due diligence scenarios continues to evolve in exciting ways,  as a core part of the value proposition for the business.

2024

Leadership transition - December 2023

An exciting new chapter for TechAlign begins, as founder Chris Hutchinson steps down and hands the baton to sister and longstanding Operations Director, Sarah Hutchinson.  After a period of stabilisation, the business continues to grow and expand into new markets along whilst maintaining longstanding client relationships.

2022

Continued organic growth

TechAlign continues to grow organically with the help of exciting new delivery relationships, expansion of the consultancy team and maturity in Operational processes.

2020

Growth amidst uncertainty

Unperturbed by the COVID-19 pandemic emerging early in 2020, TechAlign’s agility allowed for continued evolution, a shift to home/client site based service delivery and growth from strength to strength.  A number of key client relationships developed – both end-client organisations and IT channel organisations.

2018

TechAlign is born - March 2017

Founder Chris Hutchinson took the leap out of employment to establish TechAlign as a boutique IT Professional Services company, after recognising client needs could be better met through a transparent, trusted partner operating model.  TechAlign was established with core principles of independence, integrity, vendor neutrality, flexibility and high-quality delivery.

See how we can help you to drive greater value with our vendor-neutral, professional IT services.

Words from some of our clients

“NatCen had a full refresh of IT Infrastructure with an on-premise solution to meet specific client requirements of ensuring data was stored on premise.  The solution was put in place by a large organisation and once it was fully implemented and handed over, the company was very difficult to get hold of and assist in any development or problem resolution.  When we were in a really tough situation of backups failing and network performance degraded, I reached out to TechAlign, mainly due to an existing relationship with one of their senior consultants, who had worked on the initial solution when previously employed by the organisation in question.

My experience with the TechAlign consultants regarding the resolution was genuinely great.  I still remember TechAlign’s appreciation of the urgency of the situation we were in and the need for immediate assistance, to the extent that they started work on the resolution before any paperwork or POs were organised.

I was very impressed with the knowledge and skill of both engineers working on reviewing the problem and implementing the proposed solution in a timely manner.   The professionalism, respect shown, and the added value provided, by TechAlign was the starting point of our relationship with them.  TechAlign has now worked with us on numerous improvements over the years, such as redesigning our set up to put in place an Active/Passive setup and move the Passive setup from on-premises to a Data Centre, and we are very satisfied with them and their work.

We have a long relationship working with TechAlign and there have been many positives. We specially note how the quality of the logging of time spent on work for us and the added value we get in the form of advice and general guidance.”

“As the new Head of IT, I found myself navigating a complex environment with little historical knowledge or handover from previous staff. Additionally, amidst a major co-location project, we encountered significant challenges that required expert guidance.

TechAlign emerged as a reliable and invaluable partner during this time of transition. They dedicated their time to comprehensively explain our environment and project plans, ensuring alignment with our expectations and requirements. Their team of consultants, each a specialist in their field, provided continuous support, advice, and technical expertise from which our small ICT team greatly benefited.

What sets TechAlign apart is their commitment to understanding our unique challenges and providing tailored solutions. From detailed scopes of work to successful project completions within deadlines, TechAlign consistently delivered exceptional results. Their professionalism, depth of knowledge, and proactive approach left a lasting impression on us.

Since our initial collaboration, we have engaged TechAlign multiple times on project-specific cases. Their expertise and reliability make them our go-to partner for IT consultancy needs.

Overall, our experience working with TechAlign has been extremely satisfying. Their unwavering support and expertise have been instrumental in overcoming obstacles and achieving our goals. We greatly appreciate their partnership and look forward to continued collaboration in the future.”

“The main benefit I found is the development of trust required to allow the technicians to get on with the job and get this completed with a minimum of involvement.  Nothing is rushed and every aspect is considered to allow for a successful outcome.

 

I would thoroughly recommend TechAlign to any other businesses looking for technical services.  The staff are approachable and explain things in non-technical language to allow for greater understanding of the deliverable.  The range of services they offer covers many aspects an SME would need either on a day to day or project basis.”

“We’ve been able to bridge resource gaps at Nviron without recruiting permanent staff, while also seamlessly adding in specialist capabilities to complement our in-house team.”
