South West IT firm, Westspring IT are doing their due diligence when it comes to tackling the big issues their clients – and all businesses - will face for their technology in the new year.

For WestSpring IT, 2025 has been a year of growth and development. Through expanding their team and client offerings, they have gained invaluable insight into what the future could hold for businesses in the new year.

Emma Carter, chief executive of WestSpring IT has seen clients return because they provide personal understanding and are providing tailored support, especially for areas of concern for clients.

“At a time when many smaller MSPs (managed service providers) are being swallowed up by much bigger entities, we are seeing clients return to us when they realise they are part of a treadmill, part of a process and not seen as individual, valued clients,” Emma said.

The biggest threat for all businesses across the country is cyber security.

There have been high profile cases of data breaches across theUK. M&S experienced  a cyber-attack in November 2025, Jaguar Land Rover had a data breach in August of this year and had to stop operations to deal with it. Yet it’s not just about big businesses – it was shocking when a London-based nursery, Kido, were held to ransom over stolen data in September 2025.

“Cyber security protection is not just for large conglomerates. It is smaller businesses as well, everyone can be affected,” Emma commented.

“We don’t claim to be specialists in this area, we know what we are good at. Yet we work with excellent partners and we will bring in the expertise needed to make our clients are resilient as possible.” 

“Cyber security breaches are incredibly damaging events. Should your data be attacked, there will be repercussions on businesses, families, and yourself. What we aim to provide is a mitigation of this,” continued Emma. “The fear of cyber-attacks from businesses is akin to the 2010s coding fear and the millennium bug.”

Westspring IT are already hearing from businesses who are worried and seeking insurance coverage for cyber breaches. With the threat increasing into 2026, clients are needing more tailored security, especially based on the data types they store.

“You can’t do cyber security as a tick box exercise. Should you do that, your insurance may not cover all damages,” said Emma. “At WestSpring IT, we’re not afraid to call in other professionals. We are collaborating with experts who specialise in data management, to support and protect clients even more.”

Based in Aztec West in Bristol, the WestSpring IT team have big plans in 2026 to increase their client base across the South West and beyond, looking for businesses looking to work for a minimum of 36 months and view technology as a tool for growth, not a necessary evil.

“We take tech incredibly seriously and are always looking for ways to protect people. We aren’t going anywhere; We're looking to grow even bigger and better,” concluded Emma.

The company provides strategic managed IT solutions, with service excellence a priority, establishing long lasting partnerships with businesses in the UK. Their clients include Halo Leisure, Circadian Trust, Method Consulting and Precision Resource Group. For more information visit https://westspring-it.co.uk/
