Inspired by People.
Driven by Values.
Empowered by Technology.
From day one, Grant McGregor was founded on a simple idea: to put people first. Our story is rooted in relationships and shaped by trust. We’re guided by the belief that technology should always serve the people who use it.
Our Story
Grant McGregor was founded in 2000 by David Lawrence and Jon Towers, two IT professionals committed to putting people back at the heart of technology.
They envisioned something different from what they experienced in their previous roles: a people-first, value-led IT partner that would prioritise long-term relationships and deliver genuine value, helping organisations thrive through better technology. This vision came to life in their Edinburgh City Centre office.
Paul Sinclair was one of the first to join the team. Paul has grown with the business, progressing to the role of Head of IT Services and Director. His strong relationships with our clients and practical understanding of their needs are key to delivering the consistent, high-quality service our clients rely on.
From day one, their focus was on building strong, lasting relationships and delivering exceptional value. Their goal was never to be the biggest, but to be the best.
Our name, Grant McGregor, taken from our founders’ mothers’ maiden names, speaks to the trust, care, and family values at the heart of every relationship we build.
In December 2022 Jon retired, leaving behind a legacy of integrity and warmth.
Where We Are Today
Today, almost 25 years later, Grant McGregor has grown into a multi-award-winning managed service provider, trusted by over 125 successful organisations across Edinburgh and the UK.
Our leadership team – Paul Sinclair (Head of IT Services), Katerina Konstantinou (Operations Manager) and Doug Davey (Head of Technology) – is guided by founder David Lawrence, who continues to lead the organisation with clear strategic vision, a strong focus on customer service and a long-term commitment to building trusted IT partnerships.
As your local IT partner in the heart of Edinburgh, we're always here to support you – just a phone call or visit away. Our office is located on Hanover Street, just around the corner from Princes Street and Rose Street.
