Meet the Netitude Service Desk Team

What Does an IT Support Team Do?

When your systems stop working, your business doesn’t pause, but your people often do. That’s where your IT support team matters most. An IT support helpdesk is responsible for keeping your business running day-to-day, whether that's by resolving issues quickly, minimising downtime, and ensuring your people can work without disruption.

At Netitude, our managed IT support team is structured to do exactly that. From first response to complex technical resolution, every part of our service desk is designed to deliver fast, clear, and consistent support to UK businesses.

How Our IT Support Helpdesk Works

Not all IT support teams are structured the same, and that directly impacts how quickly issues get resolved. Our helpdesk operates across three levels of support, ensuring every issue is handled by the right engineer at the right time.

First Line vs Second Line vs Third Line Support

When you raise a support request, it doesn’t just sit in a queue. Our system assesses the urgency and routes it to the most appropriate IT support engineer, helping us resolve issues faster and more efficiently.

First Line Support: Your First Point of Contact

Our first-line engineers are the front door to our IT support helpdesk. When you call or log a ticket, they’re the people you’ll speak to first. Their job is to get you back up and running as quickly as possible.

From our first lines, you can expect:

• Fast response and clear communication
• Quick fixes for common issues
• Accurate triage and escalation where needed

They don’t just log tickets — they set the tone for your entire support experience.

Meet the First Line Team

• James Isaac, First Line Support Engineer: One of the longest-standing members of the team, James is known for his reliability and consistently high client feedback. He’s often the steady pair of hands when things need resolving quickly.
• Jamie Hulbert,  First Line Support Engineer: Jamie has made a strong impact since joining, combining technical support with a proactive mindset — even contributing to wider business projects, such as helping to refresh our website photography.
• Aiyana Bentall,  First Line Support Engineer: Aiyana has quickly developed into a confident and capable first-line engineer, known for her professionalism and calm approach when handling client issues. Aiyana recently celebrated obtaining a full UK driver's licence! 
• Euan Fisher,  First Line Support Engineer: As one of the newest members of the team, Euan has hit the ground running, bringing energy and a strong willingness to learn into every interaction. We look forward to seeing how his service desk career progresses at Netitude. 

Second Line Support: Specialist Problem Solvers

When an issue requires deeper investigation, it’s escalated to our second-line support engineers.  This team focuses on diagnosing root causes and applying more technical fixes, ensuring problems aren’t just temporarily patched but resolved permanently.

Typical issues include:

• Device and system configuration
• Permissions and access management
• Software faults and performance issues

Meet the Second Line Team

• Elliot Russell, Second Line Engineer: During his time with the business. Elliot has grown into a key member of the service desk team, progressing from first to second line and taking on more complex technical challenges along the way.
• Niall McPartland, Second Line Engineer: Niall brings experience and tenacity to the role, with a strong focus on resolving issues thoroughly and efficiently.

Third Line Support: Advanced Technical Expertise

Our third-line engineers handle the most complex and business-critical issues. Their focus isn’t just fixing problems, it’s identifying long-term solutions and preventing recurrence.

Typical role responsibilities include:

• Server and infrastructure issues
• Advanced networking problems
• Vendor and third-party coordination

Meet the Third Line Team

• Dan Thompson, Third Line Engineer: Dan plays a critical role in handling escalations and complex technical challenges, bringing deep expertise and a dependable approach when issues require advanced resolution. On the weekends your likely to see Dan playing for his local football team.

Service Desk Leadership

Behind every high-performing IT support team is strong leadership.

• Adam Turner, Service Desk Manager: Adam oversees the entire service desk operation, ensuring engineers are supported, processes are followed, and service standards remain consistently high. His leadership has played a key role in shaping the team's efficiency and structure today. When he's not looking after the helpdesk, he's most likely to be playing for his local team (Frome Rugby Football Club), a proud sponsor of Netitude. 

How Our IT Support Team Supports Your Business

When you contact our helpdesk, the goal isn’t just to fix the issue, it’s to minimise disruption and get your people back to work as quickly as possible. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

Speed: Fast Response When It Matters

When something goes wrong, you need to know it’s being handled. You’ll receive a quick acknowledgement, and your issue will be prioritised based on its impact, ensuring business critical problems are addressed first.

Clarity: Clear, Human Communication

Technical jargon doesn’t help when something isn’t working. Our engineers communicate in plain English, keeping you informed throughout — so you always know:

• What’s happening
• Who’s handling it
• When it’s likely to be resolved

Be Human is one of our core values and a mantra we encourage service desk engineers to advocate each and every time they pick up the phone for one of our clients. We want each team member to value the relationships they have with end users and decision makers, whilst acknowledging their expertise.

We're on hand to help, advise and enable Growth Through Technology without judgement. 

Consistency: Process-Driven IT Support

Consistency is what separates average IT support from great IT support. Our structured service delivery model ensures:

• Issues are logged and prioritised consistently
• Proven fixes are reused through a knowledge-based approach
• Escalations happen quickly and correctly

The result:

• Fewer repeat issues
• Faster resolutions
• A more reliable support experience

The right IT support team doesn’t just react — it enables your business to operate more efficiently every day.
