INDEPENDENT BY CHOICE
Independent. Self-funded. Free to think long term.
J700 is fully self-funded.
We have grown the business without private equity, outside investment or a parent company dictating our direction.
That independence gives us the freedom to make decisions based on what is right for our customers and for the long-term future of the business.
We decide where we invest, which technologies we adopt, which services we develop and how quickly we grow.
And we intend to keep it that way.
Independent ownership
Decisions made by the people who built and run the business — not by a board, fund or parent company.
Self-funded growth
Growth funded from the business itself. No private equity. No external capital controlling our direction.
Long-term decision making
We make decisions based on what is right over years, not what looks best in a quarterly report.
FAMILY OWNED
Family owned. Personally accountable.
J700 remains a family-owned business.
That means the people making the big decisions are directly connected to the business, its customers and its reputation.
There is no distant ownership structure and no revolving door of investors.
The decisions we make today affect the company we want J700 to become years from now, which is why we take a long-term view of relationships, investment and service.
What family ownership means in practice
The owners of J700 are involved in the business day to day. Customer relationships, investment decisions and the direction of the company are owned by the same people who started it.
We are here to build J700, not sell it.
WHERE WE'RE GOING
We're not standing still.
The future of J700 is about much more than traditional IT support.
Businesses now depend on technology across almost every part of their operation, and the role of a technology partner has to evolve with that.
RUN
Managed Technology
Keeping the technology your business depends on reliable, supported and working effectively.
DEFEND
Cyber Security
Protecting users, systems and data against an increasingly complex threat landscape.
TRANSFORM
Managed Intelligence
Using AI, automation, software and better-connected systems to improve how businesses operate.
More than a traditional MSP.
This is where we see J700 heading: not simply as an MSP, but as a broader technology partner capable of running, securing and continuously improving the technology environment around our customers.
Our core service lines
Managed Technology.
Cyber Security.
Managed Intelligence.
CONTINUAL INVESTMENT
Growth for us is not simply about getting bigger.
It is about becoming more capable.
- Technical team
- Cyber security capability
- Automation
- AI and Managed Intelligence
- Software development
- Internal systems
- Monitoring and management platforms
- Customer experience
- Infrastructure
- Training and technical expertise
Some of that investment will improve the services customers already use.
Some will create entirely new capabilities.
And some will happen behind the scenes, making J700 more efficient, resilient and better able to support growing businesses.
Building, not just buying.
We believe a modern technology partner should understand how technology works, not simply resell it.
That is why we continue to invest in software development, automation, integrations and our own internal platforms.
Through J700 Labs and Built by J700, we are developing and testing technology that helps us understand problems more deeply and find better ways to solve them.
That engineering mindset will become an increasingly important part of J700's future.
GROWTH WITH ACCOUNTABILITY
Growth without losing who we are.
Where we are heading
We have ambitious plans for J700.
We want to grow the business significantly, expand the team, deepen our technical capability and work with more organisations across Lancashire, Greater Manchester and the wider North West.
But growth should not mean becoming anonymous.
We want customers to continue dealing with a business where people take ownership, relationships matter and decisions can be made without layers of corporate bureaucracy.
The aim is to combine the capability of a much larger technology provider with the accountability and personal involvement of an independent business.
- Grow the business significantly across the North West
- Expand the technical team and deepen specialist expertise
- Develop Managed Intelligence into a core service line
- Work with more organisations across Lancashire and Greater Manchester
- Build internal platforms that make J700 more capable and efficient
What must not change
Accountability
Ownership of outcomes by the people closest to the work.
Ownership
Decisions made by the people who built the business.
Customer relationships
Long-term partnerships, not transactional arrangements.
Accessibility
Customers who can reach the people they need, when they need them.
Technical depth
A team that understands the technology it recommends.
Long-term thinking
Decisions made for years, not quarters.
LONG-TERM COMMITMENT
Here for the long haul.
Customers place a huge amount of trust in their technology partner.
We manage systems they depend on every day, protect sensitive information, support their teams and often become deeply embedded in how their business operates.
That relationship deserves stability.
The next chapter.
The technology industry will continue to change quickly.
AI will become more important. Cyber threats will continue to evolve. Automation will change how businesses operate. And the distinction between IT, security, software and business systems will continue to disappear.
We intend to be at the centre of that change.
Not following it from a distance.
Building with it.
Learning from it.
And turning it into practical improvements for the businesses we support.
Managed Technology. Cyber Security. Intelligence.
Built for the long term.
