Air IT has once again been recognised by Channel Futures on the MSP 501 list of the world’s top managed service providers.

This year, the firm has been ranked as 4th overall in the UK and 92nd globally for its fully staffed, permanent offices in nine UK locations, delivering unrivalled regional support and on-the-ground expertise.

The recognition places Air IT among an elite group of companies leading the way in technology, service delivery and long-term impact.

It also connects them to a global community of IT leaders shaping the future of managed services, sharing insights and best practices that enable us to bring even greater value to our customers.

The annual Channel Partners MSP 501 list is a respected industry benchmark that ranks companies based on a wide range of metrics, including strong growth, high-quality services and innovation, especially in areas like AI and automation.

For nearly 20 years, managed service providers around the world have worked to earn a spot on this list, which ranks companies based on their annual revenue, profits, and recurring income.

MSPs that make the list have proven they operate efficiently, are financially stable, and committed to delivering reliable, scalable solutions. As a result, their customers benefit from innovative and forward-thinking services that drives real value.

Dave Raffo, MSP editor and MSP 501 project manager said: “This year’s MSP 501 winners are navigating rapid change, driving innovation, and setting the standard for excellence in managed services.

“These companies aren’t just keeping up - they’re leading the way with scalable solutions, customer-first strategies, and the kind of resilience that defines the best in the business.”

Barney Taylor (pictured), CEO at Air IT said: “Being ranked 4th in the UK on the MSP 501 is a fantastic achievement. It’s a real credit to our team, their hard work, commitment, and the trust we’ve built with our customers.

“But what really sets us apart is taking the top spot for physical presence in the UK, with fully staffed, permanent offices in nine locations, enabling us to deliver local, responsive support that businesses really value. 

“Air IT isn’t just aiming to be a great MSP; we’re striving to set a new standard as the best MSP in the UK. We’re proud of our progress so far and we continue to push forward, aiming to redefine what it means to be a next-generation MSP.”
