About Next2IT
Enterprise-grade IT, delivered the human way.
We're a team of experienced cloud and field engineers on a simple mission: make IT simple, secure and scalable for the organisations we serve, and a genuine pleasure to deal with along the way.
Our story
Built to make IT simple, secure and scalable
Next2IT was founded by Deklan van de Laarschot on a belief that great IT shouldn't be reserved for the biggest budgets. Growing organisations deserve the same calibre of engineering, security and support as the enterprise, without the complexity or the cost of getting there alone.
From a clear vision to long-standing enterprise partnerships, our journey has been shaped by one thing above all: doing right by our clients. We deliver large-scale IT projects with speed, precision and zero fuss, and we stick around to support what we build.

A clear vision
Next2IT was founded to make IT simple, secure and scalable for SMEs, bringing the kind of enterprise-grade delivery normally reserved for the largest organisations to businesses of every size.

Trusted growth
Word spread. As we delivered projects on time and explained the why behind every decision, our clients kept coming back, and kept introducing us to others who needed IT done properly.

Enterprise partnerships
Today we work alongside some of the UK's most respected organisations across healthcare and manufacturing, supporting demanding, highly regulated environments where reliability isn't optional.

Digital transformation
We help organisations modernise with confidence. That means migrating to the cloud, securing estates, rolling out modern workplaces and putting AI to work safely, all without the complexity.
What we stand for
Four pillars of excellence
The principles that shape every project we take on and every relationship we build.
Vendor-independent
We're not tied to any single vendor, so the technology we recommend is the technology that's right for you, never the one that's convenient to sell.
24×7 operations
Our Cloud and Network Operations Centres monitor, protect and support your estate around the clock, 365 days a year, with real engineers on hand.
People-first support
We explain things in plain English, treat your team like our own, and genuinely care about getting you moving. No jargon, no hard sell.
Security-first delivery
Security isn't a bolt-on. We design every solution with layered protection, sensible controls and the compliance demands of regulated sectors in mind.
A note from our founder
“I started Next2IT because too many good organisations were being let down by IT that was either over-sold, over-complicated, or simply absent when it mattered. We do the opposite: straight advice, solid engineering, and people who actually pick up the phone.”
