MANCHESTER, 16 October 2026 — Manchester's agencies, media businesses and professional firms — where missed deadlines cost clients — can now get routine IT failures fixed remotely for a fixed £39.99, as Glasgow-based Riverbank IT Systems opens its no-contract repair service to Greater Manchester.
The city region's digital and creative sector is one of the largest outside London, and behind the headline agencies sits a much bigger population of SMEs — recruiters, consultancies, e-commerce operators, trades firms — whose entire working day runs through a laptop and a cloud account. For deadline-driven teams, an engineer visit booked for Thursday does not fix a problem that happened on Monday.
Riverbank's model is built around speed: a business calls or books, an engineer connects remotely, and the first 20 minutes of diagnosis and repair cost £39.99 plus VAT. Most routine faults — email and Microsoft 365 failures, Wi-Fi and printer problems, malware removal, password and account issues, PCs that will not boot — are resolved inside that window. Longer jobs, parts and on-site work are quoted in writing first.
"Nobody in a Manchester agency wants to explain to a client that the work is late because a laptop died," said Timothy A., founder of Riverbank IT Systems. "Remote support exists precisely for this — the fault is fixed in the time it would take an engineer to find a parking space on Deansgate. And the price is agreed before we start, not after."
There is no contract, no retainer and no obligation beyond the single fix. The service runs 24/7, matching the hours Manchester's businesses actually keep.
Riverbank IT Systems serves Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Trafford and the wider city region remotely from its Glasgow base.
