I build bespoke software for businesses across Cheshire and beyond. Aviation, telecoms, IT distribution, security and linen hire: software that works the way your business does.
I'm Mike Cookson. I've worked in IT since 1991, including 16 years as Head of Business Systems at an IT distributor, and I've run Mike Cookson IT Services on my own since 2015. I work from home in Cheshire, remotely by default, and visit when it helps, within about an hour. You deal directly with the person who builds your system, from the first conversation to delivery and support.
I've built systems for businesses in aviation, telecoms, IT distribution, security and linen hire. I start by learning how your business really runs, then build software that fits it.
