About Us...
It's 1988, and in a Bolton Business Ventures office (with a portable cabin as a warehouse) IDNS began. We were a much simpler business back then, supplying printer ribbons, toners and the odd bit of technical advice. We've gone from strength to strength ever since, growing and evolving to become what we are today: a widely respected name, supplying trusted expertise and the worlds leading technology products.
The one true constant is how we've always gone about doing business, by forging collaborative relationships. Whether it's with customers, staff, suppliers or communities, the relationships we've built over the years truly have been the bedrock of our success.
Mission
To deliver technology solutions that make a difference every time.
Vision
Inspire new ways of connecting people through technology.
I’ve always felt that if you’re going to apply yourself to something, then you should aim for the top. Even when I was sweeping floors in a warehouse as a student, I wanted to be the best. How could I do it faster, more effective and get the floor even cleaner than the last person.
When I started out at IDNS to head up a new AV division nearly 15 years ago, I had this same philosophy. Now, I’m the one running the company and I have a whole team of people helping me achieve my goal.
Although we're pioneers of technological change, most importantly, it’s about making a difference. When I look in the mirror every morning, I’m immensely proud that the work we do is changing lives, it's helping to make the world a better place – and that is the most satisfying thing of all.

I’ve been at IDNS since the beginning, and it makes me incredibly proud to see how far we've come as a business.
Over the years we’ve always stayed true to our values and continued to support our community, staff and customers in any way we can. It’s that dedication, passion and enthusiasm that makes us who we are today.
We’ve created a culture of belonging, where everyone is welcome. We like to challenge the status quo to find new ways to grow our company and each other. We’re bold, honest and adaptable in our approach.
We call it 'Technology That Matters'.
