About Nimbus Blue

We love solving your security and technology problems

Nimbus Blue was started in 2010 when founder, David Tawse, decided it was time to create an IT business in Aberdeen that focused on customer service first. With a background in retail and leisure, as well as software engineering, David combined his industry knowledge with his love of all things tech to build his company vision.

Where IT began...

Today, Nimbus Blue serves companies far beyond its Aberdeen roots, with a growing team of exceptionally talented IT professionals and award-winning services.

Our Values

At Nimbus Blue, we live and breathe our values every day, helping us to maintain our high standards and exceptional customer service, but we also know how to keep IT fun and not take ourselves too seriously.

Integrity

Nimbus Blue builds and maintains trust by consistently being honest and doing things ‘the right way’. We conduct our business responsibly and transparently. Any complaints are investigated, and appropriate action taken.

Innovative

Staying innovative is key to establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage. We encourage our people to challenge established practices – both technical and administrative – to continuously improve customer service and our working environment.  We promote a sharing of ideas across the business to give our people a sense of ownership and pride.

Relationships

We build and nurture relationships with our customers, suppliers, and business partners. We use these relationships to our mutual benefit and to ensure we can provide a quality of service that not only meets but exceeds their expectations. 

Pride

Individually and as a team, we take pride in the work we do and recognise that this drives professionalism within the organisation and instils confidence in our customers. We will accept and act on constructive criticism from our colleagues, customers, and suppliers. We will challenge each other to meet and continually exceed our expectations. 

Our People

Nimbus Blue recognises that without our people we cannot achieve our other values. We are a team, using our individual skills and experience to produce a service much greater than the sum of its parts. We aim to attract, develop, and retain the best people by treating each other with mutual respect and compassion. We create an environment that recognises and celebrates success for individuals and the company as a whole.
