Blackwood IT provides managed IT support, cyber security and cloud services for businesses across Market Drayton and north Shropshire. Based in Wolverhampton, we provide on-site coverage across the region alongside full remote monitoring and helpdesk support.
Market Drayton is a market town in north Shropshire, famous as the birthplace of Robert Clive and home to one of Europe's largest food factories — Müller UK. It sits at a geographical crossroads between Shropshire, Cheshire and Staffordshire, with the A53 and A529 connecting it to Shrewsbury, Nantwich and Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Blackwood IT covers Newport, Shrewsbury, Telford and Crewe — Market Drayton sits centrally between our existing Shropshire and Cheshire coverage areas. It's a natural extension of the same north Shropshire service we already deliver, from the same team.
We take a different approach to most IT providers. Rather than waiting for things to break and reacting, we monitor your systems proactively, apply patches and maintenance regularly, and manage your suppliers directly. Every client gets a dedicated account manager and a dedicated technical manager — people who know your business and own your IT properly.
From managed IT services and cyber security to Microsoft 365 and Azure, business connectivity and structured cabling, we handle everything under one roof — one bill, one team, one accountable partner.
Based in Wolverhampton at the heart of the Midlands. On-site across Market Drayton and the region whenever engineers are needed.
Every client protected by Huntress managed detection and response — 24/7, included in every managed service contract.
A dedicated account manager and technical manager for every client. Not a helpdesk rota — named people who own your IT.
Market Drayton sits at the junction of Shropshire, Cheshire and Staffordshire — home to Müller and a key north Shropshire commercial centre.

Our managed IT services in Market Drayton go beyond a standard helpdesk. We take full ownership of your IT environment — monitoring systems 24/7, applying security patches, managing your suppliers and resolving issues before they cause disruption to your operations.

Real feedback from businesses we support across the Midlands and beyond.
"12 years ago we met with Blackwood IT to discuss our IT requirements as we were just setting up. 12 years later, we and Blackwood have grown, and our IT support has evolved with the times. Blackwood IT should rename to Ronseal — they do exactly what it says on the tin."
