About Activ8

21 Years of Keeping Hampshire Businesses Running and Counting

We’re a Farnborough-based IT support company with over two decades of experience. We’re not the biggest — and that’s exactly the point.

Our story

Where it all started

Activ8 Computer Solutions was founded in 2002 by Robert Lynes with a simple idea: small and medium-sized businesses deserve the same quality of IT support as large enterprises, without the inflated costs or the feeling that they’re too small to matter.

Over 20 years later, that idea still drives everything we do. We’ve grown steadily, built a team of experienced engineers, and developed long-standing relationships with clients, some of whom have been with us since the very beginning.

We’re registered in England and Wales (Company no: 04723063), based in Farnborough, and proud to be part of the Hampshire and Surrey business community.

What we believe

What we've always believed

"The two biggest things our customers tell us matter most are being able to speak to someone knowledgeable quickly, and getting the issue resolved as fast as possible. That's what we build everything around."

Robert Lynes, Founder, Activ8 Computer Solutions

No call centres. No automated responses. No passing you between departments. When you call Activ8, you speak to someone who knows what they’re doing, and the problem gets fixed.
