§ ABOUT / WHO WE ARE

We're the team that actually runs the systems we sell.

TGK Consulting is a builder-operated IT firm based in Beverly, Massachusetts. Founded and run by Tom Reed, TGK serves small businesses across Boston's North Shore — and runs its own production infrastructure for three sister ventures, every minute of every day.

001 / THE STORY

Why TGK exists.

Most IT firms in the small-business space sit one of two ways. They're either a help desk reselling someone else's stack — taking tickets, escalating, billing — or they're a project shop, parachuting in for migrations and leaving you holding the bag the day after go-live.

TGK was built to be the third option. An operator's IT firm. The same team that designs your stack runs it. The same hands that pitch you the automation also keep it online at 2am. The same person who quotes the project will pick up the phone six months later when the printer dies.

We exist because Tom kept looking for that kind of firm to hire — and couldn't find one. So he built one, then aimed it at the businesses on the North Shore that needed it most.

§ HOW WE OPERATE

Five things we actually believe.

Most agencies post values pages full of words like "synergy" and "passion." Ours are the actual operating principles — the ones that decide what we say yes to, what we say no to, and how we behave when things go sideways.

01

Eat your own cooking

Every monitoring service, every automation, every AI scanner we sell — we run it for ourselves first. Three businesses worth of continuous live testing before anything touches a client.

02

The same person shows up

No bait-and-switch from senior pitch to junior execution. The person who quoted the work is the person doing the work — and the one answering the phone the week after.

03

Write it down

Every environment we touch gets documented in your name, with passwords, diagrams, vendors and accounts. If you ever fire us, you walk away owning everything. That's the deal.

04

Quote it honestly

Fixed prices where we can, ranges where we can't, and reasons either way. No "from $X" with mystery overages, no Tier 1 callbacks that turn into Tier 3 invoices.

05

Local means local

If you can drive to our office in under an hour, we can usually drive to yours faster. North Shore zip codes get priority on the route board, every single day.

06

Be the boring option

The best IT firm is the one you stop thinking about. We optimize for invisibility — fewer fires, fewer surprises, more compounding boring competence over time.

§ OUR LAB

Three businesses. One backbone.

TGK isn't a side project — but it's also not the only one. Tom runs three businesses in parallel, each on the same in-house infrastructure. That shared backbone is why the things we sell our clients are battle-tested before they ever ship.

§ THE FLEET

The hardware behind it all.

Most "AI-powered" agencies are running on a laptop and a Zapier subscription. TGK runs an actual production fleet — three Dell servers and a small farm of Raspberry Pi edge nodes, monitored 24/7, the same gear we deploy for clients.
