From its offices in Stoke-on-Trent and South Wales, SYTECH provides all aspects of digital forensics and cyber services for national public and major blue chip organisations.

Founded in 1978, the team of 70 staff includes a considerable number of University of Staffordshire alumni.

The company works predominantly on behalf of the Criminal Justice System and associated stakeholders. It has a highly experienced, multi-disciplinary team of professional expert witnesses and analysts who specialise in complementary areas, working to understand the unique requirements of each business.

SYTECH has evolved significantly since its inception, reaching several milestones and achieving substantial growth in the sectors in which it operates – digital forensics, consultancy, cyber security and training.

The firm’s journey highlights its commitment to excellence, innovation and adapting to technological advancements.

SYTECH has implemented several key strategic changes in the last year to drive growth across the business, resulting in an 18.2% uplift in revenue and a 39% increase in margin.

The last 12 months have seen the business undergo a series of major step changes as part of its growth ambitions, realigning its strategic plan to focus on sustainable and scalable growth and investing in experienced strategic leaders.

SYTECH is expanding its operations with a £100k investment to convert and modernise an additional 3,600 square feet of office space at its Cauldon Locks site, marking a significant investment in the Stoke-on-Trent area and the company’s continued growth.

This expansion will enable SYTECH to centralise and grow its administration and support teams, supporting operational efficiency and organisational development.

By freeing up existing space within its facilities the project will allow for the expansion of SYTECH’s laboratory and technical service areas. The company anticipates creating more than 10 new roles in digital forensics as part of this next phase of growth.

Whilst on a growth trajectory, SYTECH’s focus is equally on maintaining a stable and sustainable business model. The business is now prioritising investment in environmentally responsible initiatives to ensure its operations are aligned with its values and the needs of a changing world. This includes exploring greener office space technologies, reducing its carbon footprint and embedding sustainability at the core of its future growth plans.

SYTECH has entered the Small Business of the Year and Growth Award categories of University of Staffordshire Business Awards.
