Last Thursday, some of the Bowker IT team enjoyed a fantastic evening out, starting with some delicious pizza at @Pizza_Marg before heading to Squires for a few games of darts and pool.

James is convinced he took the crown at pool, while Ben insists he was the darts champion — we'll let them debate that one!

And, as always, we couldn't even take a normal team photo without Ben being a little cheeky.

A great night with the team and plenty of laughs all round!

You may have spoken to them already - Welcome Zara, Ben and Mike!

Say hello to Ben! He is a very cheeky monkey! 🙉🙈🙊
He has joined us as an Apprentice, learning valuable skills from on-the-job training and his Level-3 Apprenticeship course.

Fun fact about Ben: He loves his biscuits! His favorurite biscuit is Chocolate Hobnob🍪🍪

𝗠𝗙𝗔 (𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻) — do you have it enabled on all your accounts and applications? 💻📱

MFA is a security measure that requires more than one method of verification before access is granted to an account or application.

Compromised passwords are one of the most common ways attackers gain access to sensitive data. Enabling MFA wherever possible helps reduce this risk by adding an extra layer of protection. 🔒

If you’d like advice on strengthening your security, please contact the team for recommendations.

A recent project at one of our local schools.

We installed containment to neatly route the cabling around the outside of the building. The tarmac was also channelled out to ensure the cables could be brought into the gatepost and it was made good afterwards.

Give the team a call to see how we can help with your project.

** Price increase alert**

The cost of new devices from smartphones, laptops, desktops to smart TV's could be forced up this year because of the price of RAM.

RAM used to be one of the cheapest computer components but has more than doubled since October 2025 due to the growth of data centres that power AI.

The BBC have written an article explaining why new devices in 2026 may cost more: https://t.co/EmypDyV4E0
