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
