Local IT business hits £2m turnover in under 2 years
FASTEST-GROWING IT AND PRINT SERVICES SUPPLIER IN THE AREA
ITEC Connect Northern, situated on Deansgate, has announced an annual turnover of over £2 million after taking the Manchester IT services market by storm.
Its founder and managing director Paul Hamilton set up the business in April 2015 as a joint venture with Itec Group, a Bristol-based firm that specialises in unified communications including managed print services, document management software and cloud hosting services.
It has quickly grown to employ six full-time members of staff from the local area and is opening a distribution hub in April following its substantial growth.
Having partnered with office document solutions KYOCERA Document Solutions just over a year ago, the business now provides managed print services and other IT services to almost 100 local organisations.
Customers include leading financial and travel claims specialist Stanton Fisher, legal firms Carpenters Law and BPS Law, letting agent Philip James and Garrett Hall Primary School.
Paul Hamilton, managing director at Itec Connect Northern, said: “When I first started the business, people warned me that the north west managed print and IT market was very competitive and pretty much saturated.
“Our aim was to flip the business model on its head by going back to basics and bringing the personal touch back.
“This is an approach that has clearly resonated with our clients as lots of our business stems from word-of-mouth recommendations.
“I’d like to personally thank KYOCERA Document Solutions for all the help and support they’ve provided along the way.
“In particular, their state-of-the-art Manchester Technology Suite has been the perfect place to enable clients to see the innovation behind their solutions first-hand.”
Pete Lunn, head of channel sales at KYOCERA Document Solutions, said: “Itec Connect Northern is a superb success story. It’s now arguably the fastest growing IT provider in the Manchester area - and KYOCERA has been there every step of the way to offer Paul support.” For more information visit www.itecgroup.co.uk call 0161 413 8328 or email Paul.Hamilton@itecgroup.co.uk
