Ringwood based entrustIT 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.
Hosted by The Business Magazine and Insider Media, the awards celebrate excellence across the region’s technology sector. The MSP category recognises organisations that deliver high-quality, innovative, and reliable IT services that drive value for businesses and anticipate future trends.
Judges praised entrustIT for its strong client stories, outstanding retention rates, and impressive growth from humble beginnings as a family business. The company’s ability to provide flexible, tailored technology solutions to complex, multi-site organisations was highlighted as a key strength.
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.”
Founded in 2006, entrustIT remains a privately owned and independently funded family business with its head office in Ringwood, Hampshire, and additional offices in Aldershot and East Grinstead.
The company supports clients across Hampshire, Dorset, and the wider South, delivering managed IT, cloud hosting, cybersecurity, and communications services. Its clients include organisations in the leisure, retail, manufacturing, legal, and recruitment sectors.
Many of entrustIT’s clients have been with the business since its early days — a testament to its long-term partnership approach and consistent reliability.
The 2025 ceremony, hosted by writer and broadcaster Timandra Harkness, brought together the South Coast’s leading technology innovators. For entrustIT, the award serves as recognition of nearly two decades of consistent delivery, innovation, and commitment to customer success.
As the company celebrates this milestone, its focus remains on helping businesses across Dorset, Hampshire, and the wider UK achieve secure, efficient, and future-ready technology operations.
