Your Trusted Technology Partner in the North East

HDP IT Services was founded on a simple belief: that small businesses deserve better. Too often, local companies are underserved by IT providers who are slow, reactive, and lack the deep expertise needed to protect and empower a modern business. We are here to change that.

Our approach is built on a proactive partnership. We combine enterprise-level expertise in cybersecurity and cloud technology with a dedicated, personal commitment to your success. We don't just fix problems—we prevent them.

Our Story

HDP IT Services was founded by Henry Poppelwell with a simple mission: to give small businesses in the North East access to the same high level of IT strategy and support that large corporations enjoy.

After a career in senior IT roles responsible for the security and reliability of business-critical systems, including as Senior Systems Administrator at Cintra HR and Payroll services and various engineering and management positions at Accenture, Henry saw a clear gap in the market. Small businesses were often left with slow, reactive IT support from providers who lacked deep expertise in modern cloud and security technologies.

HDP IT Services was built to fix that. We combine senior-level technical expertise in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and automation with a client-focused promise: we will be responsive, proactive, and a true partner in your success.
