Major expansion for Warwickshire IT firm

A West Midlands IT firm is already looking towards further growth after taking on six new members of staff in 2013.

Coleshill-based ACUTEC has continued to expand during the double-dip recession and the company has its sights set on additional growth during the second half of 2013.

As well as the six new appointments, three members of staff have moved into new roles.

Urfaan Azhar has joined as business development executive, Neil Porter has moved from technical into sales as senior account manager, Richard Hopkins has come on board as software developer, Paul Shirley has also moved across from technical in to sales as account manager and joining the marketing team, senior marketing executive Diane Doolan.

Scott Thorpe has been promoted to ACUTEC’s infrastructure manager, David Brown and Mark Powell have joined technical support and Sara Parker has joined as technical pre-sales support.

The ACUTEC team has now grown to 24 and managing director Chris Roche said the firm’s commitment to excellent customer service had helped it to ride out the recession.

He said: “Times have been tough for many West Midlands companies and we have seen that in our client base.

“We have continued to grow and that is because we have committed to working with our clients – finding out what they need as a business and delivering that with expertise and service.

“We are delighted to have brought in six new members of staff in varying roles and it sets us up perfectly for the second half of 2013.

“They all blend perfectly with the team here, support the ethos that it’s not just a case of providing the right IT solutions for businesses, but strong personal service too.”
