What we do

Everything you need from an IT partner, under one friendly roof.

Most businesses need bits of all of these. That's fine — we look after the lot, so you don't have to juggle three different suppliers.

IT Support

Friendly UK-based engineers on the end of the phone. We fix problems quickly and, more often, stop them happening in the first place.

Cyber Security

Audits, training and everyday protection to keep your business safe from the threats that make the news — and plenty that don't.

From a single office to multiple sites: reliable cabling, wireless, and internet connections that simply work, day in, day out.

About Globalbug

A small British firm, looking after business IT since 1987.

We started in 1987, before most people had heard of the internet. Nearly forty years later, we're still doing what we've always done: helping British businesses get the most out of their technology, without the fuss.

Our clients range from one-person consultancies to international banks. What they all have in common is that they'd rather talk to a person than tap through a phone menu — and that's exactly what they get.

  • Run by the people who started it. Continuity matters — some of our engineers have been here for twenty years.
  • Based in the UK. Every call, every visit, every email — handled by a real person in the UK.
  • Jargon-free by choice. We explain things in the language of your business, not ours.

I've worked with Globalbug for nearly fifteen years. They pick up the phone, they explain things clearly, and they've never once let us down. That's rarer than it sounds in IT.

Common questions

Things people usually ask before getting started.

If your question isn't here, just give us a ring — we're happy to talk things through.

Have you really been doing this since 1987?+
Yes, we genuinely have. Globalbug was founded in 1987 and we're still going strong under the same management. You benefit from nearly four decades of experience — and the same friendly engineer will usually answer your call for years on end.
Do I have to sign a long contract?+
No. Our support agreements run on 30 days' notice, both ways. We'd rather keep clients because they want to stay — and most of them have, for a very long time.
How quickly will someone respond when I call?+
In most cases, straight away. For urgent problems our target response is under 30 minutes, around the clock. Routine requests are usually picked up within the hour during office hours.
Who looks after my account?+
You'll have a named engineer who gets to know your business, your systems, and your people. No call-centre queues, no 'please hold while I read your notes'.
Can you work alongside our existing IT person?+
Absolutely. Around a third of our clients have internal IT and use us for specialist projects, busy periods, or holiday cover. We're deliberately easy to work with.
What areas do you cover?+
We're based at Chadwell Heath Industrial Park in Dagenham (RM8 1SL) and look after businesses across Barking, Romford, Ilford, Hornchurch, Upminster, Chigwell, Loughton, Stratford, East Ham, Grays, Brentwood and the wider East London and Essex area — typically within a 10-mile radius. We also support a handful of longstanding clients further afield, so do ask.
What if we want to leave?+
You take everything — passwords, documentation, asset registers, diagrams. It's all yours from day one. We make leaving as straightforward as joining.
