What Getech does

Getech Limited is a UK-based value-added IT distributor and solutions integrator founded in 1989, headquartered in Ipswich, Suffolk, and operating as an Employee Ownership Trust since 2021. The company specialises in the Google ecosystem — ChromeOS, Google Workspace for Education, Chrome Enterprise, and Google Gemini — combined with Tier 1 hardware from Lenovo, Acer, Asus, and Samsung, plus a curated portfolio of 30+ integrated software, classroom management, and digital signage partners. Getech holds Google's #1 Premier Partner status for Education and Enterprise in the UK and Ireland, and is an approved supplier on eight major UK public sector procurement frameworks including G-Cloud, NDNA, SSSNA, and NHS SBS Link 4.

The business operates a hybrid distribution and services model. Revenue is generated through hardware sales and distribution (laptops, Chromebooks, interactive displays, device storage), value-added configuration and deployment services (white-glove imaging, zero-touch enrollment, asset tagging, phased just-in-time delivery), professional development training (Google Certified Educator, ChromeOS Administrator, LEGO Education), and recurring IT helpdesk, warranty, and lifecycle management contracts. The proprietary Digital Bridge ADISA-certified secure IT asset destruction service and a four-phase lifecycle management process differentiate the offering beyond pure distribution. Channel partners (IT resellers and MSPs across the UK and Ireland) access Getech's Tier 1 vendor relationships, framework positions, and white-labelled services to add margin on end-customer deals.

The company serves Primary & Secondary Education, Higher & Further Education, Multi-Academy Trusts, the wider UK Public Sector, Charities & Nonprofits, Retail & Hospitality, and SMB & Enterprise customers, with education as the primary vertical. As of April 2024, Getech employed 82 staff, held ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and ADISA certifications, and had reduced its carbon emissions by 85.1% versus a 2019 baseline. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
