runs computers.
Laptops, servers, email, the network, the Microsoft bill. When your laptop dies, they hand you a new one and your work is still there. That's their job, and good IT does it well.
Software continuity · London
Book a reviewThe software your people built is too important to lose.
Somebody clever built it. Other people now rely on it. And if she leaves, it leaves with her.
Stonehold looks after the software your people built.
You've been in this meeting.
“That thing's too important to live on Priya's laptop. Get IT to sort it.”
IT said no. So it's still on the laptop, and everyone's agreed not to think about it.
There's a job in your company that belongs to no one. It's ours now.
The category nobody staffed
02 / 06We are not IT.
Here's the difference.
Nobody runs the code.
The app, the dashboard, the tool with the model inside — IT can host it, but hosting was never the hard part. When it needs updating, when it needs fixing, when there's a security bug… there's just whoever built it.
We run the code.
Versioned, documented, watched, fixed. IT keeps the computers. We stand behind what runs on them.
Two different jobs.
You've only ever staffed one of them.
A good problem to have
03 / 06This problem is
a compliment.
Mediocre teams don't have it. They've built nothing anyone would miss.
Your people built things the business can't function without — no budget, no permission, no plan. The only mistake was everyone pretending it isn't software.
It is. It just doesn't have anyone holding it. Yet.
What we do
04 / 06Find it. Then treat it properly.
Understand
We meet with leadership and IT, review relevant details about your current systems, and speak one-to-one with up to three of your internal builders.

You receive a clear report: the continuity and security risks, the support your software actually needs, and whether the right answer is a permanent team or Stonehold.

Continue with Stonehold within 30 days and we'll credit the full £3,500 across your first three monthly invoices.
Your builders keep building. IT keeps the computers. Priya takes a holiday.
FROM£4k/ MONTH
Cancel any month. A service you can leave has to stay good. No employment contract ever offered you that.
The £100,000 question
05 / 06“Shouldn't we just
hire a developer?”
You probably need a team. But to do what, exactly?
That's not rhetorical. It's the £100,000 question, and right now nobody in your building can answer it. After the review, you can. We tell you what capabilities the work requires, what belongs with IT, and whether it adds up to a permanent role or a broader software function.
Sometimes the right answer is to hire. If it is, we'll tell you what role or team you actually need. If it isn't, Stonehold can provide the function.
Guessing first and reviewing later is also available. It costs a salary and six months.
