Independent IT Supplier Consultancy for UK Businesses
I’m Ian Callens, the independent consultant behind Supplier Synergy. With more than 35 years in the IT services industry, I’ve seen how difficult it can be for businesses to find the right supplier. Whether you’re a local company or a national organisation, choosing the right IT partner is rarely straightforward.
Why Businesses Turn to Supplier Synergy
Too often, companies face a flood of sales calls, unclear pricing, and conflicting information. My role is to cut through that noise. As an independent IT consultancy, I connect you directly with trusted suppliers in areas such as IT support, cyber security, cloud telephony, connectivity, and data cabling.
You’ll get suppliers matched to your goals, your budget, and your growth plans without wasting time on pitches that don’t fit.
A Different Kind of Consultancy
Much like a mortgage broker, I act as your independent IT supplier broker. In most cases, my consultancy is at no direct cost to you the supplier you choose covers the cost. This means you benefit from expert knowledge of the IT supplier market without adding to your overheads.
Working With Me Means
Clarity and focus – One independent point of contact instead of juggling multiple supplier sales calls.
Trusted recommendations – Suppliers vetted for reliability, quality, and suitability for your business.
Efficient decision-making – A shortlist of suppliers that fit your technical and commercial requirements.
Straight-talking advice – No jargon, just practical guidance shaped by 35+ years in IT services.
My Goal
At Supplier Synergy, my goal is simple: to give every business from local firms to national corporations the confidence to make IT supplier decisions quickly, cost-effectively, and with peace of mind.
By working independently, I ensure that the IT supplier you choose truly fits your business needs.
