Team Uptech

Meet Team Uptech – Your Local IT & Cybersecurity Experts

We’re Uptech – a multi-award-winning IT support and cybersecurity company that’s been helping UK businesses stay secure, productive, and stress-free since 1994.

With a dedicated team operating across the East of England (including right here in Lincoln), we’re not just a remote call centre or faceless provider. We’re real people who take time to understand your business, your team, and what makes your operation tick.

From handling day-to-day tech headaches to putting proactive cybersecurity and productivity strategies in place, we’re all about helping businesses work smarter and safer.

At this month’s Lincoln Business Club, Team Uptech will take the 10-minute spotlight slot to:

• Join a panel-style discussion on real-world IT pain points

• Share tips on how better tech boosts security and staff happiness

• Highlight the risks of going unsupported (and how to avoid them)

• Hear from a couple of our long-term clients on the difference the right IT partner can make

We’re proud to be sponsoring the morning, and as part of that, we’ll be donating to charity for every attendee who completes our short business tech survey. Just our way of giving back while gaining insights into how local businesses are managing IT today.

Stick around after for a coffee and a chat – and let’s talk about how we can support your business too.
