Highgate IT Solutions was founded by Stuart Marginson in 2010 with a clear ambition: to build an IT services business where people genuinely come first. That founding philosophy – prioritising employee wellbeing, professional growth, and quality of life – has shaped every decision the company has made since.
From its first day of trading, Highgate operated as a fully remote business. Built on principles of trust, honesty, and integrity, the remote-first model gave the company the flexibility to hire the best people regardless of location, and remains central to how Highgate operates today.

They take the time to understand your business, your pain points, and your goals – and they act as your trusted advisor for the long term.
