      Over the years, ESP Projects has grown into one of – if not the – largest ICT Social Enterprises in the UK. Indeed, thanks to networking events arranged through the ICT Hub, Circuit Riders and the various Regional ICT Champions, we have forged links with similar organisations and projects throughout the country.

      So you’ve got yourself a shiny new , you’ve told all your friends and colleagues about it and made sure your web address is on all your publicity material. Now, of course, you want your site to be listed at the top of Google for various search terms.

      First of though, all a little caveat. How many of us know that we will never ‘own’ a piece of Microsoft software? It is, of course, Microsoft that own the software, all you – the licensee – may do, is buy a licence to operate it. What’s more, under any of these schemes (except SPLA),

      As we hope you all know by now, ESP Projects is a Social Enterprise, indeed a rather innovative one at that! But how many of you know that our company is also a proud participant in the Circuit Rider movement too?

      Circuit Riders are mobile IT consultants that specialise in providing IT support for not-for-profit organisations. Their work, however, goes beyond the traditional IT sales model, and Circuit Riders amongst other things should take an interest in why a solution is needed and explain the options in a non-technical manner before proposing any solution. Circuit Riders also work with their clients to help manage change, reduce dependency and provide support over time rather than seeking to make a quick buck. Together we constitute a professional network and will consult and signpost amongst members of that network and others to help clients find the right advice.
