How we work

Most of our clients buy a retainer, not a fixed fee per user

A set number of hours each month, committed for a term and bought at a discount. It often costs more on paper than a fixed fee. What it buys is a team sized to your business rather than to a price, and expertise that is never rationed.

Senior people at one rate

Your hours buy engineers, senior engineers and tech consultants at the same rate. Your problem goes straight to the person who can solve it.
A team sized to you

Retained hours tell us next month’s demand this month, so the people are there when you call, not hired after the backlog has formed.
A cap, so a month never surprises you

You set how far past your hours we may go. Up to the cap, work carries on; at the cap, we stop and ask.

Dunhouse Quarry

Construction and quarrying

"We have worked with Odyssey for more than 20 years and its team have provided us with a modern solution that is already paying dividends."

Paul Allison, Director 20+ years as a client
Prestons of Potto

Logistics and haulage

"Odyssey had looked after our phones for twenty years, so when the whole business had to move onto Microsoft 365 we did not go looking elsewhere. They did it without stopping a single lorry, and they still pick up the phone when we call."

Jake Preston, Managing Director 20 years as a client
Charles Clinkard

Retail

"Odyssey has been a great partner for many years. They're not just good at what they do, they're good people too."

One supplier, so no fault is ever somebody else's

When connectivity, telephony and IT come from separate suppliers, every fault becomes a question of whose it is. We take responsibility for all of it, on our own business-only network.
