Agriculture in Hackney
The business environment
Hackney has an established community growing and urban agriculture scene, with allotments, city farms and small-scale growing projects around Hackney Marshes, Clapton and Springfield, alongside food businesses and market traders serving markets like Broadway Market and Ridley Road.
Why businesses locate here
Agriculture and growing businesses choose Hackney for access to green space along the River Lea and Hackney Marshes, a strong local community food culture, and proximity to a large customer base across east London's markets and independent food shops.
The local economy
Hackney's economy combines a strong independent food and market culture with a growing interest in urban and community growing, creating steady demand for reliable IT support among small food producers, growers and market traders.
Businesses turn to us when
A sales or stock system goes down during a busy market day
Customer and financial data needs stronger protection against loss or fraud
Backups need to be genuinely tested, not just scheduled and forgotten
Staff need secure remote access across market stalls and the office
A supplier audit or food safety review requires evidence of data security practice
The business is growing and needs IT that scales without disrupting trading

Based in the City of London, we combine 24/7 remote monitoring and helpdesk with scheduled on-site visits via the A10, A12 and Overground, giving Hackney businesses reliable local cover.
