ABOUT KCS
History
KCS Computer Solutions started trading 10 years ago when the two Directors realized that there was a gap in the market for the provision of IT services in and around the North of Cumbria. The company grew over the next few years moving from a home office to small established premises in Keswick. Initially, the Partnership concentrated on the construction and repair of domestic desktop units but since then following a period of sustained growth, and expansion into the provision of commercial Network and IT services.
KCS now employs 13 members of staff. With a great deal of experience dealing with local businesses both large and small.
