History

Established in 1998, formerly known as Colleton Computer Solutions, the company was created to address an urgent need for a no-nonsense and clear approach for small to medium sized companies IT needs. We appreciated that you are less interested in the technology than the solution.

Continued growth year on year shows that we have the right approach and we are now one of the South West’s leading suppliers of networking and IT services.

We became the first official Microsoft Small Business Specialist in Exeter and the surrounding region in 2005.

As a result of the continuing growth of our business and to better reflect our service offering we  changed our company name in 2010 from Colleton Computer Solutions Limited to Think Information Technology Limited, abbreviated to ThinkIT. We believe that this new company name better reflects our regional identity as a leading provider of professional networking and IT solutions.

Our business is conducted to the highest level of professionalism and service, which has been a major factor in our ongoing success and excellent levels of repeat business.
