Who are Astaris
We are a happy team who all share a common goal and that is to provide our customers with honest, workable, collaborative solutions. We are here to share your problems and help you overcome them.
Work with us and you’ll have a reliable, robust network. You and your team can get on with your day in the knowledge that everything ‘just works’. With a proactive approach to your IT, we quietly and without disruption beaver away in the background, keeping your systems healthy with 24/7 monitoring, so that we often know about a problem before you do.
We will always look for areas where we can improve your IT systems from the smooth day to day running of your network, to reliable connectivity, money saving VoIP telephone systems, moving into the cloud, or setting you up with Gmail. Our offering to you is seamless, and delivered promptly, courteously and above all with passion, because we truly love what we do.
About the team
Astaris is run by husband and wife team Sacha & Ivan, who actually love working together. Their diverse skills complement one another’s. Ivan heads up the engineering team and has been in the IT industry for over 25 years. Sacha has a background of marketing and management, and oversees the running of the business.
The rest of the team is made up of our superstar engineers, some having been nurtured from young apprentices, some joined Astaris having already developed a wealth of knowledge and experience. Together we make a great team, we have fun, laugh lots, love a challenge and all genuinely look forward to coming to work.
