TrueNorth was established in Leeds in 2014. Our founders were on a mission to design, build and deploy Microsoft systems for clients who need their IT to work properly. The result? Client teams that spend less time fighting their tools and more time doing the work that matters.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help organisations get more from Microsoft technology - practically, without unnecessary complexity.
We aim to:
Transform Pragmatically
We always provide a pragmatic, cost-effective way forward for every client. We ensure that organisations get the best value from our services, with suitable products and practical systems that deliver exactly what we promise.
Innovate Constantly
We get excited by the latest technologies and love using them to create innovative systems. We are always on the look-out for new ways to boost growth and efficiency for our clients.
Grow Ethically
The long-term success of our business stems from organic growth and ethical business practices. We support our local community in West Yorkshire and are a corporate partner of the Simon on the Streets charity.
Never Stop Learning
We strongly believe in investing in our people. Through training, certification and mentoring, we bring fresh thinking, current knowledge and plenty of experience.
Our Culture
TrueNorth is built on the idea that good people, treated well, do their best work.
Inside TrueNorth, we make sure that everyone has the space to grow in confidence and capability. It's what keeps our thinking sharp and up-to-date when working with clients. When our people feel supported, they stay curious, stay invested, and they bring that into every client engagement.
With our clients, we work as trusted partners, not just a supplier. That means being dependable, doing what we say we’ll do and taking real pride in helping our clients’ teams succeed.
It’s a simple culture, really: respect people, do good work and leave things far better than we found them.
What it’s like to work with TrueNorth:
TrueNorth are embedded in everything that we do. It’s been a true partnership from the beginning. It's all about communication and I think we've genuinely got a good team in the programme at Redcentric and an awesome team at TrueNorth. We have them all talk to each other; some of the more challenging technical problems, we’ve solved over a pint!
TrueNorth have been a pleasure to work with. Their deep technical expertise and experience have significantly accelerated our delivery. Their pace comes from clear thinking, not shortcuts: they ask the right questions, explore options, and aren't afraid to prototype to get to the best answer. They work seamlessly with our teams, sharing knowledge as they go. The result is high quality delivery and excellent value.”
Our Founders
TrueNorth IT was founded by people who'd spent years working inside large organisations and wanted to do things differently. We're not here to sell you the biggest solution. We're here to understand your business, recommend what actually makes sense and see it through personally.
