Telecoms software firm dials up growth following investment

- By PERRY GOURLEY

A telecoms software firm is seeing significan­t growth following an investment drive to improve its service to clients.

Aberdeen-based Surevoip, which specialise­s in using the internet to deliver telecoms, is looking to increase staff numbers by a third to further develop its products. It recent- ly invested £100,000 to become the first Scottish telecoms firm of its kind to achieve a technical standard to enable it to compete on a level playing field with some of the industry’s major players by physically connecting to BT’S own network.

Gavin Henry, managing director at Surevoip, said: “It’s been an extremely positive period for the business and we are experienci­ng increased demand from companies that recognise the benefits of switching to voice-over internet protocol (Voip)-based telecoms as opposed to traditiona­l landlines.”

The company runs its own network for its VOIP services with bases at the Pulsant South Gyle site in Edinburgh and in London Docklands.

Surevoip was establishe­d in 2011 and now works with more than 1,000 clients in the UK and overseas. Key sectors served include finance, travel, hospitalit­y, and renewables and the company is looking at expanding into others.

The company has recently appointed Robert Gordon University graduates Ryan Matthews and Scott Falconer to add to its seven-strong team.
