What our clients say about us!

"Supportive Team – Can’t Fault Them"

My introduction to Lyon Managed Technology was through one of their acquisitions which led me to join their team. Whilst we were working remotely and not always present in the office it didn’t feel alien and in contrast and because of their support it felt like a seamless transition. We were having regular catchups with our managers and with the rest of the team on a regular basis. At first I was quite worried when we were acquired but after joining Lyon it felt as if it was the right thing to happen.
