Why We Started.
Our founders derive from some of the world’s leading technology providers who all noticed one complexity within the market – IT solutions were short-sighted, delivered without support and left businesses constantly playing catch-up.
We knew there had to be a better way. A simple, integrated approach where expert service and long-term strategy were non-negotiable standards, not costly upgrades.
It was this mission statement that formed the foundations of DS in 2014 and we continue to empower businesses across the UK ensuring their IT investments truly drive growth for years to come.

Our Journey of Innovation.
For over a decade, we’ve delivered high-impact Enterprise, Networking, Cybersecurity and Fulfilment solutions to many sectors across the UK.
Review our timeline below to see defining moments, strategic partnerships and solution expansions that have shaped our track record and built our reputation for success:
Founded in 2018, Farooq Sheikh launched DS and began building our relationships with key vendors and initial customers.
Initial growth was strong and allowed DS to expand to a larger premises in Wiltshire, achieve more vendor certifications and launch our first company website.
Despite the pressures of COVID, our headcount doubled and our customer lab environment was introduced allowing the testing of proof of concepts.
2021 saw our first sales into the EU market whilst also getting in touch with our local community with the sponsorship of Abbeymeads and Highworth FC.
Our service offering continued to grow as we entered the server and storage enterprise market and added IT asset lifecycle management.
With an ever-growing client base, DS hosted multiple customer events with our vendor partners as well as opening our new head office in Shrivenham, Oxfordshire.
Demonstrating a commitment to quality and security, DS achieved ISO 9001 and 27001 certification, while establishing new vendor partnerships.
2025 marks the start of a new era for DS as we unveiled our new branding, increased our headcount and closed our largest full solution to date.
