We're HappyWired

A team of thinkers, makers and doers delivering world-class Microsoft Cloud solutions.

Who We Are & Why It Matters

Founded in 2016 by Kevin Rowland, Craig Blowfield, and Simon Wright, HappyWired was built on one belief: that world-class digital transformation begins with creating an exceptional place to work.

As a Microsoft Cloud consultancy UK, we're proudly based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire - intentionally supporting regional economic growth. Our Apprentice and Graduate Scheme is a stepping stone from university to industry, especially for students from leading tech-focused institutions like Sheffield Hallam. We provide real experience, mentorship, and a nurturing environment for young professionals to build confidence, capability, and meaningful careers in tech.

Beyond technical delivery, we're committed to digital inclusion, sustainability, and progressive workplace policies. Our culture fosters innovation, trust, and collaboration - where people grow and make a real impact.

Our Ethos

At HappyWired, we believe in keeping things simple, honest, and impactful.

We’re not just building solutions - we’re building relationships. Whether it’s our clients or our team, we put people first. Always.

People First, Always

Our people are the heart of our business. They’re the ones solving problems, writing code, managing change, and delivering excellence - day in, day out.

  • That’s why we invest in their careers, wellbeing and personal development. It’s why we hold quarterly business reviews where the whole team sees how we’re doing, where we’re going, and how they fit into the bigger picture.
  • We don’t do micromanagement. We do trust, autonomy, and support. We’ve built a workplace where people enjoy coming to work - and we’ve got the staff retention to prove it.

Partnership Over Profit

We don’t just deliver projects. We partner with our clients to make a real difference. Whether we’re modernising legacy systems or building something from scratch, our approach is built on trust, transparency, and pride in our craft.

  • If it’s not in the client’s best interest, we won’t do it. Simple as that.
  • We ask the right questions, we challenge assumptions, and we care about outcomes - not just deadlines.

Excellence Without the Ego

We blend technical excellence with business insight to deliver real results. From full-stack cloud solutions to low-code apps, our focus is always on delivering value that lasts.

  • Our delivery approach is structured, but flexible. We use Agile methodologies and Azure DevOps to keep things moving, visible, and aligned to outcomes.
  • And behind every successful delivery is a team that’s united, informed, and pushing in the same direction.
