IT consulting
IT consultancy in Hull: a plan and budget for your IT
An IT plan that matches where your company is going. Strategy, roadmaps, budgets and process improvements, using Microsoft and automation to save time.
What we do
We help you decide which technology to adopt, when, and how to roll it out without disrupting your people.
We take time to understand your business and what it needs, then give you practical advice: a roadmap for the next few years, a fix for a slow manual process, or a fresh look at what you’re paying for Microsoft licences.

IT for accountantsJust Gilbey have greatly improved our IT both here and in our manufacturing facility in China. They have implemented, amongst other things, our Disaster Recovery plan to protect us against a full site failure, brand-new virtualised servers to maximise the benefit of hardware we already owned – a very cost effective solution which I am confident some other providers would not have suggested. I find working with Just Gilbey is always productive and they are not looking to invoice us but to improve our systems, often utilising assets we already own!

Frequently asked questions
What is IT consulting?
Advice that helps you choose the right technology strategy. We work with you to understand your goals and processes, then line your technology up with them. That can cover process automation, IT security, new systems and more.
What’s the difference between IT services and IT consulting?
Consulting is advice: identifying the best approach and its impact. Services are the doing: products, outcomes and ongoing support. They go hand in hand. For example, we might consult on whether moving to the cloud suits your company, then deliver the move and look after it afterwards.
How much does IT consulting cost?
Every project is different. We price either by the day or, preferably, for the whole project or each stage. That way you get a clear, agreed price and scope you can budget for.
Do we have to be a managed IT client?
No, though many consulting projects turn into ongoing support. Get in touch and tell us what you’re trying to achieve.
