Brightsolid at 30: Three Decades of Innovation and Trusted Technology Partnership

Written by DC Thomson | Jan 13, 2026 3:20:51 PM

Brightsolid is celebrating 30 years in business, marking a major milestone in a journey that began in 1995 – the same year the internet went mainstream and amazon.com launched. Since then, the company has grown into a trusted provider of cloud, cyber security and colocation services for organisations across the UK.

Over the years, Brightsolid has built a strong reputation for helping customers modernise, stay secure and make the most of new technology. Today, the business is supported by a talented team of around 60 people, whose skills and dedication sit at the heart of what Brightsolid does.

A highlight of this year has been the acquisition of Newcastle-based Synergi. As a successful Microsoft Partner, Synergi helps to extend Brightsolid’s range of services and support its growth plans across the UK. Their culture and people are also a great match, and the move brings new opportunities for both brands as they work together.

CEO Elaine Maddison reflected on the milestone:

“Reaching 30 years is a real moment to celebrate and I’m privileged to have been part of that over the last seven years. It’s been an amazing journey shaped by our talented people, loyal customers and strong partnerships. I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved together, and I’m excited for what’s next as we keep helping organisations thrive in a digital-first world.”

As Brightsolid looks to the future, its focus remains firmly on innovation, partnership and helping organisations unlock the full potential of their technology. With an expanded team and new capabilities, the next chapter promises to be its most exciting yet.

Here’s to 30 years of Brightsolid!
