Cleartwo started when two veterans of the IT sector (one from Stockport and one from Manchester) both started to notice the same unsettling trend: The industry was becoming more confused and divided. Many companies outsourced their IT concerns to contractors, which enabled a culture of passing the blame when help was needed most. If a website went down, the blame would shift from the web host to the internet provider to the hardware provider, rather than the site going back up. The founders of Cleartwo wanted to deal with everything and anything in-house for better results.
