£33k for an IT Manager is an insult (never mind £25k), I was earning more than that as an IT Manager/Dev 13 years ago. Ok, I'm in London, but right now I'm paying some first line support guys more than that.
That asside, my take would be that if Norton want you, they need to not just match but exceed the money you are on now. That's how the game is played. If they don't, then they don't value you enough. Your value is what someone is willing to pay for you, not what they have available. You also want to secure an increase now as there is a reasonable chance that pay rises will be few and far between down the road if you make them jump now.
