KES Referral Programme
Refer a business to KES — earn credit on your next monthly bill
If you know a business in Maidstone / Medway / Kent that needs dependable IT support, Microsoft 365 help, security or backups, introduce us. If they become a managed client, we’ll thank you with an invoice credit — and we’ll take care of the rest professionally.
Make a referral See Managed IT SupportWhy we reward referrals
Acquiring new IT support customers isn’t just “one email and done”. It typically includes discovery calls, environment review, onboarding planning, and setup time — plus ongoing marketing and admin.
Referrals reduce those acquisition costs and usually create better-fit relationships. So instead of spending everything on ads, we’d rather share that budget with the clients and contacts who already trust us.
Who can refer?
- Existing KES clients — earn credit on your next monthly invoice
- Partners (accountants, consultants, web agencies, telecoms) — voucher / referral fee by agreement
- Local connections who want to introduce a reliable IT partner
Not sure if it qualifies? Send the intro — we’ll confirm quickly and transparently.
Referral rewards
Rewards are based on the new customer’s monthly managed IT support value. Existing KES clients receive a credit on their next monthly bill.
| New client monthly managed spend | Existing client reward | Partner / non-client reward |
|---|---|---|
| £150–£399 / month | £200 credit on your next monthly bill | £200 voucher or referral fee (by agreement) |
| £400–£799 / month | £350 credit on your next monthly bill | £350 voucher or referral fee (by agreement) |
| £800+ / month | £500 credit on your next monthly bill | £500 voucher or referral fee (by agreement) |
Credits are applied once the referred business is live as a managed support customer and their first invoice is paid. Referral rewards apply to new managed support customers (not one-off jobs).
1) Make the introduction
Use the form below or email an intro with the business name, main contact and what they’re struggling with.
2) We assess and advise (no pressure)
We’ll offer a short call and (if helpful) a lightweight “risk snapshot” covering Microsoft 365 security, endpoints, backup confidence and quick wins.
3) They go live → you get invoice credit
If they become a managed client, we apply a credit to your next monthly KES invoice.
If they need help immediately (without committing yet), point them to our ad-hoc IT support.
Plain-English terms
- Referral must be for a new business we’re not already actively onboarding.
- Reward applies when they become a managed support customer and go live.
- Credit is applied after the new client’s first invoice is paid.
- One reward per new customer (we’ll confirm who made the intro if there’s overlap).
- We keep outreach professional — no spam, no pressure, and we’ll back off if it’s not a fit.
What the referred business gets
- A clear view of their current risks (security, backups, endpoints)
- Practical recommendations and quick wins
- Option of a 30-day Parallel Run alongside their current IT provider

Not a KES customer? You can still earn a reward
If you’re an accountant, consultant, web agency, telecoms provider, or simply someone who wants to introduce a great IT partner, you can still benefit when your referral becomes a managed support client.
Choose your reward
- Voucher: paid at the same tier values shown above
- Referral fee: available for partners by agreement (invoiceable)
Rewards are issued once the new client is live as a managed support customer and their first invoice is paid.
Perfect referrals
- 5+ users
- Needs ongoing IT support, Microsoft 365, security or backups
- Has recurring IT issues or wants a more proactive provider
- Local to Kent / South-East (or happy with remote-first support)
If you’d like a simple partner relationship (regular referrals), we can agree a consistent structure and keep everything transparent.
Referral FAQs
When do you apply the invoice credit?
Once the referred business is live as a managed support customer and their first invoice is paid.
How do existing clients receive the reward?
As a credit applied to your next monthly KES invoice (based on the tier table above).
