Our story
Built on relationships, not acquisitions
Most IT companies start small and personal, then get bought out or grow too big to care. We chose a different path. Since 1984, we’ve grown by helping our clients grow – not by outgrowing them.
Our journey
Growing thoughtfully since 1984
We grow to serve you better, not to sell out
Since our beginnings in 1984, technology has evolved from green screens to cloud computing, from dial-up modems to 5G. Through every innovation and industry disruption, two things have remained unchanged: our focus on helping businesses like yours use technology to work better and our family-run values.
Unlike companies that acquire to boost profits or exit, we’ve only brought in partners who share our values and add real value for our clients. Each addition to the APH family was chosen to enhance our expertise and support our clients’ growth.
Our values
What partnership and family values really mean
Here’s what our means to us – told through our clients’ experiences
“APH is a great organisation. Charlie’s not your typical salesperson. He was interested in the business. He wanted to know what was important to us.“
Steve Horder, CEO, PCS Instruments
“APH customer service has been first class and very professional. The very friendly support staff have been second to none.“
David Mansfield, Stanley Press Equipment Limited
“They suggested a solution for exactly what we do, whereas others just tried to patch things up with a standard solution.“
John Mark Watson, Managing Director, John Mark Ltd
“We run ideas by APH, not just costs. We’ll sound them out and they’ll say, “Have you thought of doing it this way?” And it’s better.“
Max Sheridan, A Algeo Limited
