Co-CEOs Julie Bishop and Richard Gardner sit down to share the candid and inspiring story behind the company’s creation and the values that still guide every decision they make.

Born in the wake of the Thomas Cook collapse, IT Naturally started with one airline customer, a kitchen table, and a shared vision to build an MSP that does things differently. Five years on, it’s a B Corp–certified, carbon-neutral company offering 24/7 support with a purpose.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Julie and Richard cover:

The founding story and early challenges (including launching just before a global pandemic!)
Why cybersecurity is now the #1 priority for IT teams and where most companies fall short
What Microsoft Secure Score reveals about your vulnerabilities
The rise of hybrid support models and why short-term contracts are on the up
How IT Naturally keeps its team balanced, playful, and high performing
What being a B Corp means in practice, from procurement to recycling laptops

You’ll also hear about:

Charity challenges (with a mobile tuck shop)
The weirdest thing that’s happened to Richard in an IT job
And the simple things they’re proudest of after five years in business

Listen now to discover:

How IT Naturally designs secure, sustainable, and people-first IT services
Why shorter MSP contracts and hybrid models are on the rise
What your business can do today to reduce cyber risk
