Winslade
&
Four Squares
I've been based at Winslade since 2022, supporting businesses across Devon and the South West. Over the years I've worked here under a couple of different company names, but one thing has remained the same: Winslade has always felt like a great place to spend my days.
It's not a typical business park. It sometimes feels like a badly laid out village with a really expensive pub at the centre of it. However, I have spent years bumping into the same people in the café, watching businesses grow, and eventually realised many of us are solving the same challenges, and all of us are pretty approachable!
When we launched Four Squares, bringing the business to Winslade was an easy decision. We'd already built relationships here, worked alongside many of the businesses here, and knew it was somewhere we wanted to continue growing from.
Being local also means we can deliver support more efficiently. Less time spent travelling means lower costs for us, and we'd rather pass that saving on to our neighbours. We've also seen far too much poor technology advice over the years, so we're making our team available for free guidance and support, whether you're a customer or not.
That's why we've put together a range of exclusive offers for fellow Winslade tenants, including discounted support, reduced-rate project work, free Microsoft 365 assessments and heavily discounted Microsoft licensing.
We are aiming for this being one local business, supporting another.

Microsoft Costs Creeping up?

We'll review your current setup, identify opportunities for improvement, highlight any security concerns, and answer any questions you may have. No sales pitch, no obligation, and no technical jargon.
Benefits
Free Microsoft 365 health check
Security and configuration review
Licensing and cost optimisation recommendations

Free Technical Advice, Whenever You Need It
One of the benefits we're most excited about is also the simplest.
As a Winslade tenant, you can book time directly with our technical team completely free of charge. No limits, no quotas, and no obligation to buy anything.
Whether you've got a question about Microsoft 365, you're reviewing cyber security, considering a technology purchase, planning a project, or simply wondering whether advice you've received from another supplier makes sense, we're happy to help.
Just honest, practical guidance from a local team that's already part of the Winslade community.
Directly with Engineers
When you book a technical advice session, you'll be speaking to a technical person.
- Not a salesperson pretending to be technical.
- Not a business development manager working through a script.
- Not someone trying to book a second meeting.
An engineer from our support or technical services desks.
The same teams that support our clients behind the scenes, helping solve technology problems every day.
No Sales Pitch. Ever.
Let's be honest. We've all booked a "free consultation" before, only to find ourselves trapped in a 45-minute sales presentation. We hate those. That's not what this is. There wont be a sales person within 15 feet of the call.
Our technical advice sessions exist to help businesses make informed decisions, whether that's about Microsoft 365, cyber security, devices, connectivity, backups, printers, Wi-Fi, AI tools, or anything else technology-related.
If the best advice is "don't spend any money", we'll tell you that too.
As Often As You Need
Need a second opinion before renewing a supplier contract?
Got questions about Copilot or Microsoft 365 licensing?
Not sure whether a laptop recommendation is any good?
Want someone to explain something technical in plain English?
Simply book a session to the right of the page here. There's no limit to how many times you can use the service.

Things are picked up quickly and reliably meaning we don’t need to chase, which is really important when you're under pressure to get things done. They're also honest with us commercially and genuinely act in the best interest of our organisation - if we don't need something, or if we could be doing something better or more affordably, they say so.

Four Squares Technology combines exceptional technical expertise with a refreshingly honest approach to IT.
Their team focuses on understanding the problem first and recommending the right solution, rather than simply selling products or services, they have saved me far more than they have cost me! It is that engineering-led mindset that gives us confidence that every recommendation is made in our best interests and aligned with our business objectives.
We have always found the team at Four Squares to be knowledgeable, pragmatic and responsive, and their ability to translate complex technical challenges into practical business outcomes has been invaluable.
I would highly recommend Four Squares to any organisation seeking a trusted technology partner.

"I've worked with Matt for many years, long before Four Squares existed, and continued that partnership when he started the business.
The reason is simple: I trust the advice. Matt and the team he's assembled at Four Squares take the time to understand what we need, help us avoid unnecessary spend, and always recommend the solution that's right for our organisation, even if it isn't something they sell themselves.
Their technical knowledge, transparency, and customer-first approach make them a pleasure to work with. Whether we're looking at Microsoft licensing, IT strategy, or wider technology decisions, I know the advice will be honest, commercially sensible, and focused on what's best for our business.
Four Squares have become a trusted partner to Grosvenor, and I'd have no hesitation recommending them to any organisation looking for a technology provider that puts long-term outcomes ahead of short-term sales."
- Ashley Dodd, Senior IT Support Technician, Grosvenor Health & Social Care
