What Joskos Solutions does

Joskos Solutions is a UK-headquartered, privately-held digital transformation partner founded around 1999–2001, focused exclusively on the education sector — primarily primary and secondary schools, colleges, and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs), with secondary exposure to healthcare and charity clients. The company positions itself as a "Change Leadership" provider that wraps technology around classroom outcomes rather than selling IT as an end in itself, and the business operates a National Operations Centre that supports more than 100,000 daily users across 160+ institutions and 150+ long-term partnerships.

The company delivers an integrated five-pillar service portfolio: Cloud & Serverless (cloud migration and management on Google Workspace), Managed Services (helpdesk, engineer visits, network management and monitoring), IT Strategy & Vision (digital strategy and transformation roadmapping), Installation Services (procurement and install of ICT hardware), and Training & CPD (in-house training delivered by qualified former teachers). Its core proprietary technology is Lontra, a digital transformation management platform that is positioned as the integration layer across the service pillars. Technology stack is anchored on cloud/serverless infrastructure and Google Workspace.

Joskos generates revenue through a mix of recurring managed services contracts, project-based hardware installation, and professional services for IT strategy and training, sold via a direct, consultative field sales motion targeting school leadership and MAT CEOs. The company is one of the most awarded UK education IT providers, with three consecutive Bett Awards for IT Support Service (2022, 2023, 2024), a BESA Rising Star Award (2023), and a Bett 2025 shortlisting. No external funding, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed; the firm is bootstrapped and privately held.
