Why Bristol is a hotbed of useful IT services

The southwest region is an important centre for high-technology businesses. Part of a high-tech corridor that runs parallel with the routes of the M4 and M5 motorways, Bristol in particular provides a hotbed for IT-based business to thrive.

Bristol industries using IT services

The aerospace and defence industries are well known in the region, including Airbus, BAe and Rolls-Royce. These industries require the highest echelon of IT skills. Of course, Bristol is also a port city with good inland transport links, so import services and manufacturing are also significant industries.

Education is an important contributor to local employment and a key attractor of IT skills. Between Bristol and Bath, there are three high profile universities and teaching hospitals. Bristol is also a centre for local government. Both these public sector employers rely on IT services both in-house and outsourced.

Bristol is also a well known centre for high-tech, media and creative industries. Broadcasting, advertising and publishing all draw heavily on IT services as they are at the forefront of using the internet to reach audiences with fast-changing media habits.

Why this makes Bristol an IT hotbed

With so many technology-based and technology-dependent companies operating in Bristol and Bath's relatively small urban area, as well as in satellite towns such as Portishead, Clevedon, Thornbury, Avonmouth and Weston Super Mare, skilled IT engineers are both educated in and attracted to the area. This has enabled Bristol to grow a strong IT services sector.

Not all Bristol IT support companies are equal: very few offer a combination of fixed prices, remote network monitoring, Microsoft certification and a proven track record of competitive IT services.
