Alston · Nenthead · Garrigill

Technology partner for businesses on Alston Moor.

England's highest market town runs on the same kind of businesses as anywhere else: shops, accommodation, attractions, trades, practices and people working from home, all needing IT they can rely on. serow does the whole lot as one job: email, CRMs, custom software, IT support and cyber security, built and looked after by one person who's on the moor often anyway. Help is minutes away remotely and the same day in person when it matters.

Covering Alston, Nenthead, Garrigill, the South Tyne farms and everything up to the tops.

How I work

You get the person who built it, not a ticket queue.

An IT company gives you an account manager, a helpdesk and a wait. I give you one number, and the person who designed your setup is the one who picks up. Being on the moor often helps. The bigger difference is that the whole job sits with one person, and it works the same way whether you're in Nenthead or the far end of the country.

What I do here

Four services, one moor.

Everything serow does, delivered to the moor: the same systems a city firm would sell you, run by someone who's often up here anyway.

Software built around your business

All-in-one systems: CRM, bookings, jobs and invoicing on one screen, for shops, accommodation, attractions and every firm trading up here.

Cyber security

Every device protected, scams kept out of the inbox, data backed up off the hill and tested, and Cyber Essentials when the insurer or the tender asks. Done quietly, mostly remotely.

Who it's for

Built for how the moor earns its living.

Shops & hospitality

Tills, bookings and payments running smoothly through every season, and a back office safe from scams.

Heritage attractions

Ticketing, bookings and a back office that behaves for the moor's mining-history sites and railways.

SMEs & consultancies

A proper IT setup without hiring an IT department: security, backups and support on one plan.

Remote workers & practices

Serious setups for people who moved here to work from the moor: secure, backed up, and a connection you can stake a deadline on.

Questions

Asked often, answered straight.

Do you charge for travel on Alston Moor? +

No. Site visits anywhere on the moor, Alston, Nenthead, Garrigill and the farms between, are free, with no call-out fee for the first look at any job.

Who actually picks up when something breaks? +

Me. There's no helpdesk between you and the person who built your setup: one number, fixes in minutes remotely, and a drive up the moor the same day if it needs hands on.

Do small jobs count? +

Yes. A booking form, a CRM tidy-up, moving the office onto proper email. Small jobs are often how the bigger ones start.
