Our history
25 years. Three names. One commitment.
We have been serving Galway businesses and households under different trading names since 2005, far before cybersecurity was a household word and long before every business had a server room, a cloud subscription, and a mobile workforce to protect. What has not changed in that time is the standard we hold ourselves to and the people who deliver it.

The PC GP — Fr. Griffin Road, Galway

Our approach
We fix problems fast. Our goal is to stop them happening.
Most IT providers are reactive — you call them when something breaks, they come and fix it, and you go back to hoping it doesn't happen again. That model costs businesses far more than it saves, in downtime, lost productivity, and stress. Our model is different.
🛡️
Proactive, not reactive
We monitor, patch, and harden your systems continuously — identifying vulnerabilities before attackers do, and applying fixes before they become incidents. You should never know a threat was there.
⚡
Minimal disruption to your operations
Updates, maintenance, and security work are scheduled around your business hours, not ours. When we do need access, we work fast, communicate clearly, and leave your systems better than we found them.
📞
You speak to a person — every time
No call centres, no ticket queues, no chatbots. When you need us, you reach someone who knows your business, your setup, and your history — because we have been working with businesses like yours for over two decades.
🏡
Family business. Local accountability.
We are a small, family-driven team based in the west of Ireland. Our reputation is built entirely on word of mouth and repeat business. That means your satisfaction is not a KPI — it is the only metric that matters to us.
🎯
No unnecessary complexity
We recommend what you actually need — not the most expensive solution, not the most fashionable one. Twenty-five years of experience means we know the difference, and we will always tell you straight.
"The cost of a security incident — in downtime, data loss, client trust, and potential GDPR liability — almost always dwarfs the cost of preventing it. Our job is to make sure you never have to find out what that costs."
Who we are
Galway people. West of Ireland focus.
We are not a franchise or a subsidiary of a larger firm. Loewen I.T. is a locally owned, family-run business that has grown entirely through the trust of the clients we serve across Galway and Connacht.
We know what it means to run a small business in the west of Ireland — the reliance on a small team, the sensitivity to downtime, and the value of a service provider you can actually trust.
That is the standard we have held ourselves to since 2001, and the one we will hold ourselves to for the next twenty-five years.
What we do
Security and networks, end to end.
From a full cybersecurity risk assessment to ongoing managed network monitoring and incident response, we provide the services a modern Galway business needs to operate securely and without interruption.
