    Even when hit by Covid as we were during the project, Simplify IT made sure we still hit our deadlines by making sure that additional staff were available as soon as possible.


    I can’t recommend them highly enough, and look forward to working with them again in the future."

As unbelievable as it still seems, this weekend marks a year since our friend and founder, Lee Rogers, was reported missing en route to France. There is still a Lee-shaped hole in our world at Simplify Technology Group that no amount of time will truly repair. A great inspiration, a leader by example, an infectiously positive and generous spirit. As I write this, I can hear Lee's voice telling us to get on with it, as well as a politically incorrect jibe or two for good measure. Our shared commitment to getting on with Lee's vision is testament to his guidance, sound judgement and hard work. So that's what we're doing and doing well. I salute my colleagues for that. Anybody who knew Lee will have a great memory or 5 to make them smile. I'd ask you this weekend to remember Lee, raise a glass of something, and if you're able to, maybe share some of your fondest memories. Just days before that awful weekend, I had the honour of spending a day on Lee's boat with him. It was one of the best days of my life and certainly the best day of my working life. I told him so, and I'm glad I did. Miss you guv.

As you may have recently heard, Simplify Technology Group has been created to incorporate an umbrella of specialist companies that can offer the very best specialised services, yet work in unison across the group to provide complete services and solutions to our customers. At the moment, this unholy alliance (lovely people really) involves two companies - Simplify IT and CC Communications, each outstanding in their field. So it was decided that, in the spirit of unity and to get the ball rolling properly, both would come together and try and be outstanding in a field. So Spa, so good. In the breath-taking surroundings of Shrigley Hall Hotel and Spa in the stunning Cheshire countryside, the staff of the newly formed Simplify Technology Group met. Firstly for some delicious refreshments and to get to know each other. In truth, this union has been in the offing for about six months now and so many of the guys already knew each other in many respects, but not all. It quickly became apparent that getting on wasn't going to be an issue. So after lunch you'd imagine the parties would take advantage of the famous open air luxurious spa, or the perfectly maintained golf course. Nah. Fetch my axe! In the true and finest traditions of founder Lee Rogers, who would rather drive a Main Battle Tank across the thirteenth fairway, or do donuts on a jet ski in the spa, we resorted to sporting violence to break the ice. This involved pistol shooting, archery, clay pigeon shooting and of course, axe throwing. The group were divided up into four groups (orange, blue, black and pink - at least I think so) and got stuck in. An absolute blast was had by all, with orange team just about victorious. Some seriously good Robin Hoods, assassins, vikings, and... to the manor born aristocrats became known. The Group would fare well in a zombie apocalypse perhaps. In any case, great fun was had by all. All that remained to be decided on the field of valour was a 100m sprint race, weeks in the planning after some office shenanigans. Poor Tom injuring his hamstring left Joe victorious, even over the stand in competition. Mouth like a Pharaohs sock Forgive the vulgar analogy but I've rarely been so ready for... refreshment. It was thirsty work that afternoon after all. A beautiful September sun blazing away for the duration. That seemed to be a popular opinion too by all accounts. So after a quick change for the guys, and meticulous preparation for the gals, it was time to get a sup on before dinner. Not content to settle their differences on the field, Tom and Joe squared off to see who could throw a pint down their neck quickest. It was close but a steward's enquiry favoured Joe again. As the day wore on, both companies were feeling very comfortable in each other's company, talked a bit of shop, and shared some laughs. Dinner is served A fine dinner, with the marvellous fare matching the grand surroundings. Shrigley Hall truly is something to behold. Tom said a few words after dinner to mark the occasion and to remember Lee, without whom none of this would be possible. We miss him but we're going to make this a success - as was his vision. We're a good fit for each other, we offer far more to our customers together than we did alone. So here's to the success of Simplify Technology Group Ltd . We think it's going to work out just fine. Thank you to Sarah Rogers for arranging this fantastic day. Thank you to the staff at Shrigley Hall Hotel and Spa , and thank you for reading this.

It hasn't even been a year since Lee Rogers set out to climb the 3 highest peaks in each nation of Great Britain, this to raise money to train a guide dog named 'Dannii' in honour of Lee's niece who had tragically passed away at a young age. And now we're mourning another tragic loss as we've lost Lee himself. It's not fair, it's incredibly cruel. After losing Dannii, Lee was quite clearly heartbroken but rather than retreat into darkness he took positive action. That was Lee all over - when life gives you Lemons, make Lemonade - and give it to the thirsty. So Matt Beacham, who accompanied Lee up the 3 peaks last year, decided to take them on again and this time in honour of Lee. Ever and strangely keen to tackle the arduous climbs and raise money for charity, Matt successfully completed the climbs on the weekend of the 30th July, kitted out with his all new Simplify IT sponsored walking shirt, which was very professionally prepared by Warwick printing company Pixel Studios who we'd like to thank for supporting this endeavour with speed and exceptional quality and service. They also donated the shirt itself once they heard it was for Lee. We thank Paul and team at Pixel and highly recommend them to anybody. Emblazoned on the shirt is what we hope will be the outcome of all this effort, the funding for at least one - and most likely more - Guide Dogs. Can you guess what the first one's name will be? A Guide Dog Named Lee... and maybe Roger? If you guessed Lee, you guessed right. Guide Dogs was a charity close to Lee's heart. His family would really appreciate it if you could show your support through charitable donation. Ideally they'd like to raise enough money in his memory to have a guide dog puppy named "Lee" - which his daughter Ellie reckons would obviously be the worst behaved pup of any litter & be unlikely to pass out! Well, we're sure he'll be trouble but if he's anything like his namesake he will absolutely smash it. Fundraising has been brilliant, and thanks to generosity of so many, not only is Lee the puppy going to happen, but a second (who may be name Roger) and more... In loving memory of Lee Some of you will be aware we had a celebration of Lee's life recently, and the family asked that instead of flowers anybody who wished to make a tribute did so by donating to Guide Dogs. We laughed, we cried, we shared so many amazing stories of Lee's adventures and we donated - And how! Simplify IT matched the many wonderful and generous donations on the day and so we're in a position to go beyond the original hopes of the fundraising initiative. Going above and beyond is what Lee was all about so what a fitting tribute. Lee the puppy, and hopefully Roger and however many others we can fund together, will follow Dannii into a wonderful cause. Thank you so much. If you have any stories, anecdotes or memories of Lee to share, no matter how dodgy (come on, we know who we're talking about here) please send them to StoriesOfLee@simplifyit.co.uk Thanks Matt Of course, all this is helped massively by the endeavours of Matt Beacham. A kind soul and a tireless fundraiser. Kate Bush may be running up that hill at the moment, but Matt chooses mountains and we salute him. It is no mean feat to climb so may metres (and descend them) in questionable conditions in so short a time - and to do so with a cheerful demeanour, with his sponsored walking shirt that would put most Formula 1 cars to shame - is admirable. Well done Matt. Please, if you can, give generously. You'll find details below of how you can donate. Thank you very, very much in advance.
