For business
ARK Assist
Technology that keeps the business working.
IT support, Microsoft 365, cybersecurity, phones, broadband, backup, networks and technology projects for businesses.
One ARK. Different expertise.
Technology businesses for work, home and everything in between.
ARK is a group of technology businesses under one holding company. Each one does a different job — supporting companies, repairing computers, building the technology in a home — and they share the same people, standards and way of working.
The businesses
Three businesses, doing three different jobs.
Each has its own customers, its own site and its own way of working. Whichever one you deal with, the group behind it is the same.
Repairs & support
ARK Computer Repair
When the computer isn't behaving.
Workshop and technical services for laptops, desktops and other technology, with straightforward assessment and repair options.
For home
ARK Home
Better technology around the home.
Wi-Fi, networking, CCTV, smart home systems, connectivity and installed technology designed around how the home is actually used.
Also part of ARK
Things that cross between them.
Communications, ongoing support and backup aren't separate companies. They're propositions offered through whichever ARK business you already deal with.
ARK Connect
Phones & communications
Business communications without needing to become a phone-system expert.

ark-backup.co.ukHow ARK fits together
A group organised around situations, not departments.
You don't need to know which company you need. You need the problem dealt with by someone who does this properly.
One group. Different ways we can help.
How we got here
ARK was not designed as a group of companies. It grew out of one repair business, a lot of trial and error, and a fairly long process of working out what we were actually good at.
Founder Rob King tells the story of the people, false starts and difficult years that shaped the ARK businesses we have today.

Projects
Work we've done.
Written the way the job actually went: what the situation was, what was chosen and why, and what changed afterwards.

Building a smart home that works as one system
A one-acre property in Warsash asked an open question: what could make the house smart? We started with the infrastructure, not the gadgets — traced and tested every existing cable, built a central rack, and put nine access points, seven cameras and Home Assistant on top of it.

Rebuilding a factory network without stopping production
A precision manufacturer's ageing flat network was causing daily dropouts on the shop floor. We redesigned and replaced it in phases, working out of hours so production never stopped.
