Challow is a specialist managed IT services provider with a unique managed IT solution popular in the legal sector.
As of 16/07/2025, Atlas Cloud and Challow have joined forces.
Although technically an acquisition, both Atlas Cloud and Challow teams consider it a merger – combining the strengths of both organisations. Challow’s Andy Fryer has joined Atlas Cloud as Operations Director and will continue to be heavily involved in the service provided to existing customers, and help to drive the growth of the combined business.
Challow customers can still request IT support in the same way.
We caught up with Challow Director, Andy, to understand his desire for the move:
“The decision to join forces with Atlas Cloud is part of a well-planned and carefully executed strategy to alleviate some of the bottlenecks that occur when operating a services organisation of our size, as a sole director. I chose Atlas Cloud because the team, which has a first-class professional management team with 25 years of legal technology experience, is well-aligned with our values and goals. They too place customers at the heart of their decision-making.
We can enhance our service delivery and capabilities by uniting with Atlas Cloud. This merger allows me to focus exclusively on customer operations, while Atlas Cloud handles back-office responsibilities like finance and HR. We will have a greater capacity to deliver and have access to a broader range of skills and expertise, particularly in the rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.”
