What if your IT could think ahead, so you don’t have to?
When client data, compliance and deadlines are on the line, cyber-threats that evolve faster than your inbox refreshes are more than an irritation – they’re a risk. In the past year, 43% of UK businesses reported a cyber-attack, with phishing involved in 85% of incidents. Lugo is your managed service partner, proactively monitoring, maintaining and improving your IT so your firm can focus on clients, not technology headaches.
Bridge the technology gap to success
Our technology alignment service is your strategic edge. It’s not just about fixing what’s broken – it’s about future‑proofing your firm. We start with a Level 1 mini gap analysis: a sharp, high‑level review that reveals where your IT stands and where it’s vulnerable. Need more depth? Level 2 delivers a full‑spectrum assessment, including a Zero Trust readiness check, and collaboration with Cyber Essentials auditors.
Cyber Essentials is the government‑backed minimum standard. Over 215,000 certificates have been issued, including 49,000 in the past year, and firms with these controls make 92% fewer insurance claims. Certificates last for 12 months, making renewal a predictable governance step. We also recommend cyber insurance to cover business interruption, incident response and liability – a financial safety net that accelerates recovery. Lugo prepares your evidence pack for renewals, reducing friction and cost.
Our team is based across Scotland – local, accessible and ready to visit you on site. Leading, Uniting, Growing, Outstanding – all delivered with LugoLove.

Simpler, faster, more personal
At P+B, we offer expert, tailored advice, saving busy professionals and businesses time and money when it comes to securing their next vehicle.
Who we are
We were founded on one simple belief. That our clients shouldn’t have to choose between a pushy, outdated dealership or an impersonal, low-skilled call centre for one of the most important, and expensive, choices they will make for their family.
We provide truly independent advice for personal leasing, business leasing and EV salary sacrifice. Unlike single-brand dealerships or most online leasing sites, we have access to multiple car finance providers and all major manufacturers, allowing us to compare offers across the market to secure the most competitive price.
We set out to change that
We believe in building long-term relationships, not one-off transactions. That’s why over 70% of our clients have leased two or more vehicles from us. With P+B by your side, you can count on no hidden costs, clear communication and a single point of contact to guide you through every step.
What we do
We offer independent, expert advice across a wide range of vehicle brands for personal leasing or your business. With a dedicated relationship manager by your side, you’ll have clear guidance at every stage, while still retaining full control over the management of your lease.
Just as we make leasing simpler, faster and more personal, we apply the same approach to our EV salary sacrifice service. Our tailored approach ensures your scheme is designed to maximise employee satisfaction while simplifying administration for your business.
