This Month at BCC IT: July 2026

Author: Amanda Harlow

Teamwork, Preparation and Business Resilience

July has been another reminder that successful IT support is about people as much as technology. Ultimately, behind every reliable system, secure network and successful project are teams working together, planning ahead and adapting to change.

Supporting Our Clients

Our professional team of engineers has been supporting our clients with a wide range of technology projects, including:

  • Infrastructure upgrades
  • Microsoft 365 and cloud planning
  • Cyber security reviews
  • Network and connectivity improvements
  • Modern workplace initiatives

Much of this work happens quietly in the background, but it plays an important role in helping organisations remain secure, efficient and productive.

A common thread running through many of July’s projects has been helping businesses create more dependable and adaptable technology environments. Whether modernising ageing hardware, improving network security or supporting cloud adoption, our focus remained the same. We help organisations access the tools, systems and support they need to work effectively, wherever their teams are based.

From Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire to Cardiff, Gloucestershire and beyond, we’ve been proud to support the businesses we work with as they continue to evolve and prepare for future opportunities.

Cyber Security and Continuous Improvement

Cyber security remains one of the most important foundations of a resilient organisation. As technology evolves and new threats emerge, regular review and continuous improvement have never been more important.

Meanwhile, our Cyber Team completed a Cyber Essentials Plus assessment. The process provided an excellent opportunity to review, challenge and strengthen our own security practices, ensuring we continue to meet the high standards we set for ourselves and the people we support.

Participating in CE+ reflects the same proactive approach we encourage among our clients. By reviewing current controls, learning from best practice and identifying opportunities for improvement, organisations can strengthen their security posture and build greater confidence in their day-to-day operations.

BCC IT Team Day

Strong client relationships are built on strong internal collaboration.

Earlier in the month, the entire team came together for our annual BCC IT Team Day, providing an opportunity to share knowledge, discuss future plans and strengthen the relationships that support everything we do.

Homemade Welsh cakes from Bakes and Cakes by Kel and freshly cooked pizza from Maggie and Mo’s Pizza made the morning even better. We’d like to thank  both local businesses for helping to make the event so enjoyable.

Bringing colleagues together away from their usual routines creates valuable opportunities to learn from one another, exchange ideas and strengthen teamwork. In turn, these moments help ensure we continue delivering the high standards of service our clients value.

Congratulations! 💒

July also brought a special celebration for one of our colleagues as Josh and his bride, Rhianwen, tied the knot in the beautiful West Wales countryside. Many of our clients will know Josh through his role as one of our Account Managers, and we hope you’ll join us in offering the happy couple our warmest congratulations and wishing them every happiness for their future together.

Preparation Matters

One message has stood out this month: Being prepared matters.

Organisations that regularly review systems, improve security, plan future projects and strengthen internal processes are often better positioned to manage change and respond to new challenges. That’s why our featured article this month explores practical ways to reduce disruption during periods of staff absence. Rather than repeating those recommendations here, we’d encourage you to read the full article if you haven’t already.

A Collaborative Approach to Customer Service

Once again July’s feedback reflects the commitment and professionalism of our support team, with almost 99% of customers rating their experience positively. Every piece of feedback helps us understand what we’re doing well and where we can continue to improve. It also provides valuable insight into the experience our clients receive when they contact BCC IT for support.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share feedback this month, and congratulations to our support team for continuing to deliver the high standards of service our clients have come to expect.

Stronger Together

Overall, if there is one theme that has defined July, it is teamwork.

From technology projects and cyber security initiatives to professional development and client support, successful outcomes are built on people working together towards shared goals. On a final note, this month, I’m pleased to update that the sunflowers are in bloom and, after weeks of waiting, some of us have enjoyed our first red chillies of the season.

Looking ahead to August, wherever the summer finds you, whether taking a well-earned break or hard at work, we hope you have a fantastic summer.
