The @YBTeam Philosophy

Technology is now a vital part of any organisation’s DNA. It can make the difference between success and failure, happy customers or lost sales. While its importance is unquestioned, the complexity and convergence of information and telecom technology gives many organisations a real headache.

The costs of employing full-time staff to look after all or even part of your technology estate can be prohibitive. That is why we formed Yellowbus Solutions to offer organisations of all sizes and type access to highly-skilled, qualified and experienced experts whose combined breadth of knowledge enables them to deal with any technology requirement.

Our staff

We recognise that our staff are what sets us apart. That is why we actively seek out the best professionals in the industry who not only understand the technology they are working on but know how to apply it to business benefit.

To ensure their skills are always up-to-date, we invest in regular training and accreditation, backed up by our ISO9001 quality accreditation and a range of manufacturer certifications. This guarantees that when you partner with Yellowbus Solutions you will always receive excellent and cost-effective service that will enable you to maximise the returns from your technology investment.

Mark Bowater

Co-Founder and Director of Yellowbus Solutions Ltd. Since a child I have always been fascinated by business and started my first business at 19 years old in the Security Industry and then setup a Computer Hire business and at the same time I worked for Royal Mail as my introduction into corporate IT support. I have practically done every job in IT and like to think I know the IT industry extremely well. I am happy watching my two daughters competing at Water Polo - a very tough and demanding sport. In my spare time I like DIY and enjoy the moment of the finished result. My philosophy is “keep it simple” and my drive in business is “Process, Security and Quality”.
