This year saw the launch of Layer8, a specialist IT business proudly operating under the Spencer Group ‘umbrella’, bringing a new level of expertise to our expanding portfolio.
With more than thirty years in specialist IT, Layer 8 supports organisations by developing technology that reflects practical, human-centred modern IT needs.
The team brings its expertise to clients across Hull and the East Riding, including Beverley, Willerby, Hessle, Kingswood, and Hedon, and is now available to support businesses nationwide.
The company was founded on the belief that IT isn’t just about hardware, systems or code, it’s about people.
Technology should support the way people work, empowering them to collaborate more effectively, reduce frustrations, and focus on what matters instead of adjusting to the limitations of the tools around them.
Layer 8 offers an extensive portfolio of services, including 24/7 IT support, cybersecurity solutions, networking and infrastructure, network and surveillance systems, virtualisation and cloud services and development and digital transformation.
All services are delivered under flexible contracts with tailored Service Level Agreements (SLAs), proactive security measures, cost-efficient approaches, and modern, next-generation technologies.
The company’s successful launch is a direct result of the teams’ extensive sector experience, diverse technical abilities and a strong understanding of evolving digital demands, which is why we are extremely proud to have them in our Spencer Group family as we head into 2026. We look forward to seeing Layer 8 build on its progress over the next year as it works toward becoming one of the country’s leading IT support services.
