What ANDREW FOX IT LIMITED does

Andrew Fox IT Limited is a sole-consultant IT infrastructure contracting business incorporated in August 2018 and operated from Bromsgrove, West Midlands, UK, by its founder, Andrew Fox. The firm delivers project-based professional services spanning the full infrastructure lifecycle — planning, implementation, and testing sign-off — for SME organisations and corporate clients requiring infrastructure upgrades, migrations, and technical implementations.

The technical scope covers Microsoft Exchange (versions 2003–2013+ and Office 365 hybrid), backup platforms (Veeam specialty, plus BackupExec, Acronis, ArcServe, Bacula), networking (Cisco/HP switching, BGP/OSPF, LACP, HSRP, Aruba/Cisco wireless), firewalls (Checkpoint, Watchguard, Cisco ASA), Microsoft SQL Server with SSRS/SSIS, server hardware and datacentre migrations, VMware ESXi/vCenter and Hyper-V virtualisation, SAN/NAS (NetApp, Compellent, QNAP), web servers (IIS/Apache/Nginx), and Citrix (XenApp, Netscaler, Workspace). Delivery is supported by LEAD methodology training and ITIL awareness, with the founder positioning both technical depth and corporate/people skills as differentiators.

The business operates as a founder-owned sole proprietorship with no external funding, no disclosed employees beyond the founder, no named customers, and no channel partnerships. Revenue is generated through quote-based project engagements on a per-project basis with multi-year contract cadence possible; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct client engagement via the company website, email, phone, and a downloadable contractor CV, with marketing activity limited to a professional portfolio site. No parent company, holding structure, or institutional investment is indicated.
