Industries we know well
Built around regulated firms, and honest about who we are not for
Financial services and regulated firms are the practice we are built around. Each sector page says what we run, which regulators we answer to, and — deliberately — who we are not for. Not a regulated firm? We look after London businesses of every kind.

Why Nerdster
What makes us different
A real person picks up the phone
No ticket queues, no offshore call centres. You get a named engineer in London who knows your business.
Plain-English advice
We translate the tech into decisions you can actually make. No jargon walls, no scare tactics.
We catch issues before you do
Proactive monitoring spots most problems before they reach your team — so most of the IT stuff just stays out of your way.
How it actually works
A named engineer, not a ticket number
You get one person who already knows your setup — your Bloomberg terminals, your leased line, the reason that one server still exists. No re-explaining the estate at 8am on a Monday, and no queue between you and someone who can actually fix it.
Every engineer is UK-based and on our payroll. We deliberately stay small enough that you will recognise the voice on the other end after a few weeks.
