Croydon
SCS is situated inside the London Borough of Croydon, near the northern edge of the borough. Although part of Greater London (about 9.5 miles south of the centre of London), Croydon is very much recognised as a metropolitan centre in its own right.
Croydon is London's third main Central Business District, after the Square Mile and Docklands, and is south London's main business centre, housing many financial, legal and insurance firms. 24 blue-chip companies call Croydon home.
SCS is proud to be associated with Croydon businesses and aims to provide the 'local touch' to businesses in the Croydon area. Croydon is home to a great many Small to Medium Enterprises; SCS excels as providing IT solutions for these businesses. Having such good links to central London means that our city clients are local too!
We have helped many businesses move offices and are keen to encourage more to come to Croydon, as well as helping businesses in the Croydon area to get the most from their IT systems.
