About Us

At Westtek, we knew that significant change was needed if business owners and directors were to experience the real benefits of IT.  You want technology to work for your business, not the other way round! ... Read More

Westtek have redefined the concept and delivery of IT around what is really important to you. With our services, IT and telecoms become business enablers, not drivers. We provide proactive management and maintenance of your systems and are continually developing our monitoring and management capability to improve this further.

In everything we do, we want our clients' systems to work so well that they do not need to call us for support, only for advice and guidance as their business needs grow and evolve.

We work across London and the South East with a particular focus on Hertfordshire and Middlesex, with specialist skills covering Recruitment, Legal, Accounting & Finance as well as Educational organisations.

Here's an illustration of our team structure and below you can meet our core team:

5 x internal staff

8 x Call Desk first response

100 x site engineers

230 x 24/7 helpdesk

400 x server engineers

Ben Beer

Ben Beer - Security and Alignment Manager

When it comes to travelling fast, Ben is equally at home on a pair of racing skis as he is in a kart. His diverse IT background includes 13 years experience as an engineer and a consultant for IT MSPs, and prior to joining Westtek spent 3 years engineering for a global leader in Cyber Security. He has a passion for helping customers get the most from technology, especially when it comes to keeping their IT systems safe and secure. Another sports fanatic, Ben is the player-manager for a Sunday league football team. So, when he is not aligning IT systems, he is aligning a team of young lads to get the best results on the pitch – not always an easy task on a cold December morning! 

 
Alex Kuklinski

Alex Kuklinski - Service Manager

When Alex is not trying to help our clients, he invests a lot of his time trying to improve processes. He has worked in IT for 18 years and has experience as a freelance Website Designer as well as a Systems and Networks Technician for a private school in London. This has armed him with the technical and customer-facing skills to excel at the day-to-day challenges here at Westtek.  As well as being fluent in Polish, his many talents include snowboarding, volleyball and table tennis where he trained with the U-18 Great British team! Other than being a sports fanatic, his interests include movies, gaming and travelling.

Their support has helped us accelerate our processing of information more efficiently for our customers. Westtek continually assesses the development opportunities for IT enhancements, ensuring we are constantly improving our infrastructure. ”

“Carmichael UK engaged the services of Westtek 4 years ago and their first task was to overhaul a complex but slow and unstable IT system which was causing issues on a regular basis. At the outset we liked the way that Westtek took the time to understand the scope of the project, listening properly and patiently to our requirements. Their proposal for the work was realistic in terms of timescales and clear in setting out what was required and exactly how much that would cost. When we engaged their service for the project we found that Westtek do what they say they will do. Our Westtek IT solution is sturdy and secure with the capacity to expand in line with the growth of our company. Westtek continue to work with us monitoring, backing up, and trouble-shooting where required. We can rely on them to be proactive towards identifying potential issues and ensuring that we continue to get the best performance from our system. We have found the service from Westtek to be reliable, cost effective and knowledgeable and we would have no hesitation in recommending their services to others.”

“I have known Francis (Westtek) for over 10 years and his knowledge and experience in IT makes him standout from the rest. He has a refreshing pro-active approach, but is not pushy and will always find solutions within your budget. For a short period I moved away from his support and then realised that I was missing the care and passion he has in making things work. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for IT solutions. ”
