entrustIT is proud to announce that it has been named Managed Service Provider of the Year at the South Coast Tech & Innovation Awards 2025, held at the Hilton at the Utilita Bowl, Southampton.
The award, presented by The Business Magazine and Insider Media, recognises organisations that consistently deliver high-quality, innovative, and reliable IT solutions while driving value for businesses and ensuring smooth technology operations.
Judges commended entrustIT for its strong client stories, impressive retention rates, and remarkable growth from humble beginnings as a family-run business. The company’s ability to serve complex, multi-site organisations with flexible, tailored solutions was highlighted as a key differentiator in a highly competitive field.
Thomas Dodd, Commercial Director at entrustIT, said:
“The South Coast is a highly competitive region with many successful MSPs. To be successful in this award is a huge achievement and testament to the hard work our team has put in this year.”
Nearly Two Decades of Trusted IT Delivery
Founded in 2006, entrustIT has grown from a small family business into a respected national Managed Service Provider, with its head office in Ringwood, Hampshire, and additional offices in Aldershot and East Grinstead.
Over nearly 20 years, the company has remained privately owned and independently funded, maintaining a clear focus on long-term partnerships rather than short-term gains. Family remains at the heart of the business, with representation at every level — a structure that reinforces continuity, accountability, and trust.
Today, entrustIT supports clients across Hampshire, Dorset, and the wider UK, providing managed IT, cloud hosting, cybersecurity, and communications services. The company specialises in helping complex multi-site organisations streamline and secure their technology, with clients across sectors such as leisure, retail, manufacturing, legal, and recruitment.
Recognition of Innovation and Reliability
The Managed Service Provider of the Year award celebrates MSPs that can demonstrate a diverse and impactful portfolio of IT solutions, consistent delivery, and an ability to anticipate and adopt emerging technologies.
entrustIT’s approach combines technical excellence with genuine partnership. Its reputation has been built on long-term relationships, some spanning nearly two decades — a rare achievement in the fast-moving MSP sector. This blend of stability and forward-thinking innovation was a key factor in the judges’ decision.
A Strong South Coast Presence
With a strong base in Ringwood, Hampshire, entrustIT continues to play an active role in the South Coast technology community. Many of its clients are based across Hampshire and Dorset, where the company’s reliability and responsiveness have earned it a reputation as one of the region’s most trusted Managed Service Providers.
The award evening brought together the region’s leading technology innovators and entrepreneurs, with writer and broadcaster Timandra Harkness hosting the ceremony. The event provided a platform to celebrate the continued growth and innovation of the South Coast’s digital economy.
Looking Ahead
As entrustIT celebrates this milestone, the team remains focused on its mission: helping clients succeed through reliable, secure, and adaptable technology. The company’s commitment to independent ownership, client retention, and continuous improvement ensures it remains well-positioned to support the evolving needs of businesses across the South Coast and beyond.
