Savva Antoniou.

I have spent more than twenty years in IT and it began on a support helpdesk straight out of university. It remains the best training I know. You learn to fix things properly and you learn to speak plainly to the person waiting while you do.

I have owned and run IT services businesses since 2005. The clients I serve today include a former Prime Minister's office, NASDAQ-listed companies, high-frequency traders and family offices with assets under management beyond £1 billion. What holds those relationships is not technology alone. I meet clients face to face, speak to them on their terms about complicated matters and take the time to understand how each business works.

High net worth individuals, family offices and investment firms run small teams around substantial wealth. Their requirements reflect what they protect rather than how many people they employ, and I built Mayfair Tech to serve them properly.

Away from work I am a keen photographer, a dedicated chauffeur to my two young children and an occasional tennis player of questionable ability.

There is one belief I try to instil in my team above all others. The greatest thing you can have in work is to be proud of what you deliver, whatever that work is.

The leadership team

The leadership team is supported by our service desk, which handles day-to-day requests throughout UK business hours.

How I work with clients

I meet every prospective client personally before we agree anything, and I remain the commercial and strategic contact for every client we take on. Delivery sits with our senior engineers and I stay close to it. When something matters I am there in person. Our office is at 27 Albemarle Street in Mayfair and most of our clients are minutes from it.
