Managed IT Support
The helpdesk your staff ring, and somebody near enough to come out when the problem is a physical one rather than a software one.
Explore Managed ITHalifax is the closest town to us after Bradford itself: about seven and a half miles over the tops on the A6036 and A58. We have no office in Halifax and will not pretend we do, but of everywhere we cover, this is the one we can reach quickest.
REONEX supports businesses across Calderdale — the professional firms in the town centre, the small companies tucked into converted mill units, and the manufacturers out along the valley. Ring 0333 344 9588 and tell us what is going wrong.
Calderdale is awkward country for an IT company based a long way off. The borough runs up a steep valley, the premises are old, and a lot of them are nothing like the modern office an engineer turns up expecting. A provider in Manchester or central Leeds treats a Halifax visit as most of a day gone. From Thornton Road it is a short run out on the A6036 and down the A58.
That is why Halifax gets more of our onsite time than anywhere except Bradford. Most faults are still sorted remotely, because that is quicker for you than waiting in. But cabling, Wi-Fi surveys, hardware swaps, office moves and camera installs all need somebody physically there, and here that is a straightforward thing to arrange.
Tell us about your premisesAfter Bradford, Halifax is the shortest trip we make. Useful when the job needs hands rather than a screen share.
Dean Clough is the obvious example. Twenty-two acres of Victorian mills on the edge of the town centre — sixteen buildings put up between 1840 and 1870 by the Crossley family for what became the largest carpet manufacturer in the world, now Grade II listed and stretching over half a mile end to end, with something like four thousand people working there in everything from one-person outfits to multinationals.
It is a brilliant place to run a business from. Those buildings were also designed around looms rather than Wi-Fi. Gritstone walls that an access point cannot see through, cast-iron and timber floors, listed fabric you cannot simply drill, long distances back to wherever the incoming line lands, and a connection you often share with your neighbours.
So we survey the unit rather than guess. Where the access points actually need to go, whether the cabling has to be run in trunking because the fabric is protected, what the shared line can realistically deliver at four o'clock on a Tuesday, and whether a mobile backup connection is worth having so your phones and email outlive the building's bad days. The same applies in the converted mills at Sowerby Bridge, Elland and up towards Hebden Bridge.
A router on a desk in an 1850s mill covers about one room. Nobody tells you that when they sell you the router.
Halifax has an unusual shape for a town of its size. Lloyds Banking Group is Calderdale's largest private employer, with around three thousand staff at its Trinity Road office in the middle of town, and the building reopened in December 2025 after a £116 million refurbishment. That kind of anchor leaves a mark: a lot of accountants, brokers, solicitors, IFAs and consultancies in and around the town centre, plus the suppliers and contractors who work with them.
Those are the businesses we are built for. Ten or fifteen people, serious obligations over client money and client data, and nobody internal whose job is IT. For them the priorities are unglamorous and specific: stop email impersonation, because that is how payment fraud gets in; control who can reach which files; keep a backup you have actually restored from; and make sure a laptop going missing is an inconvenience rather than a notifiable incident.
We will also tell you when something is not needed. Plenty of small Halifax firms get sold security products they will never switch on.
For a professional firm, a convincing fake invoice email is a bigger risk than anything on the server.

Explore Managed ITGetting files off the old server in the corner and into somewhere that survives a flood, a fire or a break-in at the mill.
Learn moreEmail impersonation protection, multi-factor authentication and device encryption — aimed at the frauds that actually target small professional firms.
Explore Cyber SecurityBackups held away from the building, and a restore we have proved works. Old mills and flood-prone valley floors concentrate the mind on this one.
Explore BackupKeep your 01422 numbers, drop the wiring. Calls ring on mobiles and laptops, which helps when half your team is out on site.
Explore TelecomsA survey of your unit before any promises. In Calderdale what the checker says and what the building can take are frequently different.
Explore BroadbandShared premises tend to mean a muddle of suppliers. We can take on as much or as little of it as you like.
The borough spreads a long way up the valley, and the businesses change as you go.
Professional offices, the Piece Hall end of town, and small firms in upper floors of handsome old buildings with nowhere obvious to put a comms cabinet.
Day-to-day IT supportThe lower, flatter, more industrial end of Calderdale, close to the M62. More warehousing and light manufacturing, where a network fault stops despatch.
IT for manufacturersSowerby Bridge, Hebden Bridge, Todmorden and Ripponden. Smaller independents, creative businesses, and premises where connectivity genuinely cannot be assumed.

The usual story in Calderdale is a business that has been with the same one-man outfit for years. It worked fine when there were five staff. Now there are sixteen, the original chap is semi-retired, nothing is written down, and nobody wants to be the one who upsets him.
That is a normal handover, not a falling-out. We start by finding out what exists and who owns it, then move things over in an order that does not interrupt your week. If it turns out your current arrangement is fine and just needs tidying, we will tell you that instead of selling you a contract.
Most of the pain in a handover comes from undocumented setups, not from awkward outgoing providers.
No. We are at 521 Thornton Road, Bradford, BD8 9RB. Halifax town centre is about seven and a half miles away on the A6036 and A58, which makes it the closest town to our base — but there is no Halifax office and we are not going to imply one.
Yes. Twenty-two acres of listed Victorian mill buildings with thousands of people working in them is exactly the kind of site where Wi-Fi coverage, cable routes and shared connectivity need designing rather than assuming. That applies equally to the other converted mills around Sowerby Bridge and Elland.
Yes, and it is very common here. We secure the devices so they look after themselves on a network you do not control, keep your data in Microsoft 365 rather than on local kit, and price up either your own line or a 4G or 5G backup if the shared connection is letting you down.
Yes, they are a big part of what we do. The focus is email security, controlling file access, and backups that have been tested — see IT for professional services.
