Meet the founder
Meet Mick Sheehan
Mick has spent more than twenty years in technology, and almost twenty of them in health and social care IT. He began as a technical manager, learning the job from the ground up, and went on to lead IT at Avery Healthcare, where he was fortunate to lead the technology behind Avery winning Best for Use of Technology at the Care Home Awards 2021. He has also run an IT consultancy for premium care providers.
Most recently, as Head of IT for Porthaven Care Homes, a group of 23 care homes, Mick focused that experience on governance, security, cyber awareness training and policy writing, from achieving Standards Met in the DSPT to putting the controls in place for using AI safely. During his time there, he was lucky enough to lead one of the first large scale care sector implementations of Imprivata.
Along the way he has led Microsoft 365 migrations, strengthened cyber security and governance, and trained teams to use the technology they rely on, reporting to boards and working alongside managers in their homes and offices.
Mick started HoneyCombe4 to bring that experience to businesses of every kind, from architects and engineers to retailers, investment groups and care homes. Care is still close to his heart, and our team still supports care homes with the DSPT and secure email with the NHS.
Our logo is a single honeycomb cell that holds the H and the 4 of our name, because everything we do for you sits together in one place: governance, security, support, and delivery.
What we believe
The way our team works with you
We notice the small things
We pay attention to what matters to you and fix small problems before they become big ones.
We start with yes
When you ask for something, our first instinct is to find a way, and if we truly cannot, we will help you find someone who can.
We always speak plain English
You will always understand what we are doing, why we are doing it and what it costs.
Your people are our people
We treat your teams with patience and respect, and explain things without jargon.
