In June 2026, Microsoft is introducing a major Secure Boot enhancement to strengthen how Windows devices protect themselves at startup, helping defend against sophisticated threats before systems fully load.

Our IT team is already proactively deploying the required updates across our managed client base using our remote management platform, helping businesses remain secure, compliant and protected without disruption to day to day operations.

For many organisations, changes like this only become a focus when problems arise. At David Allen IT Solutions, we believe in staying ahead of the risk, giving our clients confidence that their IT environment continues to meet the latest security standards.

Yesterday, the Government announced mileage rate increases and additional support for businesses to help ease the strain from the increase in fuel costs seen so far this year.

The Chancellor stated that the mileage allowance will increase by 10p per mile for the first time in over 15 years. This is fantastic news for businesses and employees reliant on their own vehicles as fuel costs remain high.

The approved mileage rates will increase from 45p to 55p per mile for the first 10,000 miles, plus 25p per mile for mileage after 10,000 and fuel duty freeze remains in place.

With additional support for sectors hardest hit by rising costs, this update aims to ease ongoing financial pressures across the economy. Read our full article here: https://www.david-allen.co.uk/what-the-new-mileage-rate-increase-and-additional-support-means-for-businesses/

If you would like to discuss, get in touch with our specialist teams on 01228 711888 or 01387 270340 for guidance.
