A Unique Approach to IT Support

not just a helpdesk

who are BNA IT Solutions

The start of BNA

We started our journey back in 2020

BNA IT Solutions was founded by Sam and Ben, who between them have worked across a wide range of IT sectors and roles throughout their careers. After years of experience, they felt it was time to take a new direction and build something of their own. But BNA wasn’t created to be just another IT support company.

One of the key motivations behind BNA IT Solutions came from seeing how impersonal the IT industry had become. We felt that this shift wasn’t only diminishing the quality of customer service, it was also impacting the morale, wellbeing, and overall fulfilment of IT professionals.

From day one, BNA was built on two clear goals:

Firstly, to bring personality, warmth, and genuine human connection back into IT support.

Secondly, to create a company where IT professionals can thrive, feel valued, respected, and happy in the work they do.

BNA introduced the concept of the ‘Primary Engineer’, which has since become the cornerstone of our business. Through our Primary Engineers, we aim to close the gap between faceless helpdesks and the real, day‑to‑day IT needs of our clients. We’ve found that this personable, consistent approach builds genuine trust, respect, and long‑term relationships with our customers. In turn, this leads to increased satisfaction on both sides. Customers feel supported, and our engineers feel valued and connected.

"Technology is supposed to work for you, don't let it ruin your day"

My passion for IT started when my Dad's fascination with electronics and technology was passed down to me at a very young age.

This early exposure shaped my path through school and college, where I pursued my goals of getting a better understanding of IT Infrastructure and what is needed to become an IT Professional.

Having started my career as an IT Apprentice at a primary school, it has taught me the importance of having an efficient and secure IT system in part to the tenacity of the future generations rapid adaptability to technology in a modern world!

"The best part of IT is being able to make peoples lives easier"

My interest in IT started back when I was a teenager, building PC's from spare parts, trying to optimise my home setup and generally trying not to break things! That was the point I knew I wanted to pursue IT in my life. From there I studied various avenues of IT, gained multiple qualifications and went on to start my IT career.

The world of IT can seem alien to a lot of people and being able to bridge that gap and explain how it all works to them is what I love most about the job. The constant improvements to systems or setups, whether or not they are even noticeable, brings immense satisfaction.

The best part of IT is being able to make peoples lives easier. That's the ethos I'll always stick to.

I can't thank Ben enough for all the help he has given me in setting up Microsoft 365 for my charity. I wouldn't know where to start if it wasn't for Ben's help. Ben you are amazing, thanks again. Leah (Through the Sentence)

Sam was recommended to me when I had some IT issues which he was able to resolve with good speed via a call and also found a great offer for the tech I needed in order to speed up some processes within my business and I'd highly recommend anyone needing similar support to reach out to him.

Sam gave amazing training on cyber security, AI and digital wellbeing. It was really useful and not the scaremongering or password has to be xyz format so it was really enjoyable to learn. Walking away more confident in those areas thank you!

We have worked with BNA IT Solutions to host informative lunchinars, delivered to the VCFSE sector for free. They supported our charities to learn about AI and IT security for charities. They are knowledgeable, friendly and professional. It has been a pleasure to work with them and we love the care and respect they show the local VCFSE sector.

BNA IT Solutions provide excellent IT support at a really competitive price. Sam is incredibly knowledgeable and was a huge help when we were looking at refurbished IT solutions. Nothing was too much trouble, and the advice and support throughout were fantastic. I would highly recommend BNA IT Solutions.

Exceptional service from BNA IT Solutions. From the outset, they took a really thorough approach to understanding my requirements, asking the right questions and carefully assessing how I work to ensure the laptop specification was exactly right. They guided me through a detailed quality versus value comparison, clearly explaining performance, longevity, and future-proofing, which made a complex decision feel straightforward and well informed. Sam was excellent throughout, highly knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. The aftercare has been outstanding, with continued support and reassurance once everything was up and running. A genuinely great experience from start to finish. Highly recommended.

I've had an outstanding experience with this company over the past year. Their IT end-user support during our device refresh project was exceptional and professional. Every interaction was smooth, and they consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything worked perfectly. I truly appreciate their dedication and expertise, and I look forward to continuing a strong professional relationship with them for many years to come. Highly Recommended!
