About Lanware
Lanware was founded in 1993 by the late Conor Cassidy, whose vision was to harness the power of a new and changing internet. In the early days, we were a small London IT provider, but in 2005, we took a leap of faith that changed our path, pioneering private cloud services for financial firms before the cloud was mainstream.
What started as a bold idea to move servers out of office cupboards has significantly grown into a specialist IT partner working exclusively with FCA-regulated firms. Many of those early clients are still with us today, a lasting reminder of the trust and innovation that have shaped our journey.
Who we are
At Lanware, we’re proud to call London home, and we’ve spent over 20 years working in partnership with the city’s most respected independent financial firms. Unlike general IT providers, we focus exclusively on financial services, giving us a deep understanding of the sector’s unique pressures, regulations, and expectations.
By partnering with Lanware, the clients benefit from industry experience and being part of a financial services community.
Lanware is 100% privately owned, with 70% of the business held by our team which means’ we’re personally invested in our clients’ success.
Our mission is clear: to be the go-to IT managed service provider and IT support specialist for London’s top independent financial firms, offering not just technology, but lasting partnerships built on trust, insight, and shared values.
