What we do
Technology that works for you,
not the other way round.
We help SMEs and charities get more out of their technology — whether that means setting things up properly for the first time, automating repetitive work, or just fixing the things that have been quietly driving everyone mad. Because we work in the cloud, we can do all of it without ever needing to be in the same room as you.
Microsoft 365 Setup & Support
We'll set up Microsoft 365 properly — Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive — so your team can actually use it. And we'll be there when questions come up.
Process Automation
If your team is spending time on repetitive tasks that a computer could handle, we can fix that. We build Power Automate flows that take the manual work off your plate.
Data Security & Purview
Know where your sensitive data lives and who can see it. We set up Microsoft Purview — sensitivity labels, data loss prevention and retention — so you're protected and compliant without slowing anyone down.
Custom Apps & Dashboards
We build purpose-built tools in Power Apps and Power BI — things that fit how your organisation actually works, not how a generic software vendor thinks you should work.
Custom Microsoft 365 Copilot Agents
We design and build custom Copilot agents tailored to your business — assistants that understand your processes, your data, and your people, and do genuinely useful work.
IT Strategy & Advice
Not sure what you need? That's fine. We'll have a conversation, work out where the real problems are, and tell you honestly what's worth investing in.
SMEs & Growing Businesses
Small and medium businesses rarely have a dedicated IT department — but they still need IT that works reliably. We act as your outsourced Microsoft 365 partner, without the overhead.
Charities & Third Sector
Charities often assume automation is too expensive or complicated. It doesn't have to be. We build on Microsoft's Power Platform — tools many organisations already have through existing M365 licences.
Case study
From manual chaos to a system that runs itself — so a charity's team can spend their time on the people who need them.
A Northern Ireland charity providing practical support to cancer patients and their families — help with finances, respite care, and getting to hospital appointments — was drowning in admin. Every support request that came in through their website landed in someone's inbox and had to be handled by hand. Time that should have been spent supporting vulnerable people was being eaten up by process.
We built a fully automated request management system on Microsoft's Power Platform. From the moment someone submits a request, the system takes over — categorising the need, routing it correctly, storing everything securely in Dataverse, and surfacing it to staff through a purpose-built Power Apps interface. No spreadsheets. No missed requests. No chasing.
Now every submission is triaged and visible to the team immediately. People in difficult circumstances get a faster, more consistent response — and the charity can handle significantly more requests without increasing headcount.

- Microsoft Dataverse for secure, structured, auditable data storage
- Model-driven Power Apps case management interface for staff
Faster response times for patients in need. More requests handled consistently, with no manual triage. Staff freed to focus on the people they're there to support — on existing M365 licences, at a fraction of the cost of a custom build.
Why Hazelwood
The IT partner you've been looking for.
We're not a faceless vendor. We're the knowledgeable partner who happens to understand IT — and who'll give you a straight answer.
Plain English, always
We explain what we're doing and why, without the jargon. You'll always know what's happening and what it costs.
Security built in
Our founder's background is in cryptography and cybersecurity. Everything we build is secure and well-governed from day one — not bolted on afterwards.
Built on tools you already have
Microsoft 365 licences often include powerful tools most organisations never use. We help you get value from what you're already paying for.
Practical, not theoretical
We focus on solving real problems that make a difference to your day-to-day — not on solutions that only look impressive on paper.
Honest advice
If something isn't worth doing, we'll tell you. We'd rather give you good advice than sell you something you don't need.
UK-wide, cloud-delivered
We're based in Northern Ireland and work with clients right across the UK. Because everything we do is cloud-based, you get the same service whether you're in Belfast, Birmingham or Bristol.
Who we are
Real expertise behind every project.
Founder & Director
PhD · Microsoft Certified
I started Hazelwood Solutions because I kept seeing the same problem: organisations with real potential, held back by technology that was either badly set up, poorly understood, or simply never used to its full capability.
My background is in data security — I hold a PhD in cryptography and cybersecurity — which means I think about IT differently to most consultants. It's not just about whether something works; it's about whether it's secure, well-governed, and built to last.
Before founding Hazelwood, I spent several years as an IT consultant specialising in Microsoft 365 modern work and the Power Platform, including a year working at Microsoft directly. I hold Microsoft certifications across the stack — admin, Power Platform, Teams, Purview, and Defender.
The Team
All certified.
All experienced.
Every consultant on our team is Microsoft certified, educated to degree level, and has hands-on consultancy experience in Microsoft 365 modern work, the Power Platform, and Copilot Studio.
We're a small team by design. That means you get experienced people on your project — not juniors — and you're never just a ticket in a queue.
