Local, Reliable IT Support for Businesses in Wingham

Wingham businesses have enough on their plate. Tech headaches shouldn’t be one of them.

Running a business in Wingham means wearing a lot of hats—keeping staff happy, customers satisfied, and everything running smoothly. But when the computers crawl, updates never end, or the printer refuses to cooperate (again), it throws everything off. 

If that sounds familiar, you’re not the only one. Plenty of local business owners are stuck dealing with IT issues on top of everything else—with no time to dig into fixes, and no reliable help when it matters. Cyber threats keep evolving, downtime eats into your day, and that “IT guy from the city” you’ve called before? Good luck getting a call back. 

That’s where Fort44 comes in. We’re just a hop, skip, and a jump up highway 4 from Wingham—real people who pick up the phone, show up when needed, and actually solve problems. We help small and mid-sized businesses take the stress out of IT, so you can focus on running your business instead of wrestling with tech. 

Local. Reliable. No non-sense. That’s Fort44.
