Company Profile – Mawson Technology Pty Ltd
Mawson Technology Pty Ltd (trading as Mawson Tech) was founded in 2021 by Christopher and Simone Frew to address a clear gap in the Darwin market for reliable, high-quality IT service providers. Within just two years, the company experienced strong growth, expanding its client base to over 20 local businesses.
In 2023, Mawson Tech temporarily paused its growth trajectory when Christopher was engaged to lead a major IT transformation agenda for a large, long-standing local organisation. The agenda was successfully delivered, modernising the client’s IT operations and reinforcing Mawson Tech’s reputation for excellence. Following the agenda’s completion, Mawson Tech resumed its services and quickly exceeded its previous revenue benchmarks.
Our vision is to become a trusted and respected IT service provider in the underserved Darwin market. We are guided by three core principles: Simplicity, excellence and sustainability.
Local ownership; Local knowledge
Mawson Technology Pty Ltd is a 50% Indigenous-owned, family-operated business. Christopher Frew brings extensive experience as an IT administrator, having worked across businesses of all sizes—from small business IT support to senior engineering roles in enterprise environments with over 10,000 endpoints. Simone Frew contributes over a decade of expertise in government administration, including HR, training, and resource management.
Mawson Tech operates primarily under a Managed IT Services model, offering service agreements for the ongoing management of IT infrastructure and support. We also maintain a strong project delivery arm, serving both our direct clients and subcontracting for other local IT providers. Additionally, we offer IT procurement services, supplying business-grade hardware and software through our partnerships with world-class distributors.
Targets and Vision
Our target market includes businesses with 10 to 50 users in the Darwin, NT region, with a strong focus on the NDIS and legal sectors. We position ourselves as a boutique IT agency, specialising in supporting clients with sensitive data or complex operational needs that require a higher level of expertise and discretion.
Mawson Tech primarily markets through Google Ads, LinkedIn, and referrals. Our long-term vision is to grow into a close-knit team of 3–5 highly skilled IT professionals, supported by 1–2 administrative staff.

Core Values
Simplicity
When in doubt, simplify. This is the key ethos of Mawson Tech’s solutions. You, as the customer, should not need to be an expert to understand our offerings.
Excellence
Simply, we want to be the best. We will not offer a product to tick the box. Our products will be the best in the industry, or we will not sell them.
Sustainability
Of course, we will ethically source our materials. However, we need to be sustainable as a company, to ensure that we have continuity. Our promise to you is that we will not over subscribe.
