International IT infrastructure group expands into the West Midlands

A global IT infrastructure group has expanded into the West Midlands at Blythe Valley Park.

Pomeroy manages IT services and software for major IT outsourcers across the world and has opened new premises at the University of Warwick Science Park’s Blythe Valley Innovation Centre in Solihull.

The company is headquartered in Cincinnati, USA, and has a turnover of over $600 million and 3,500 worldwide staff. Its UK operations were launched in 1997 and Pomeroy has since grown to have 300 staff on its books.

Paul Yeomans, Pomeroy Europe Managing Director, and Business Development Director Jim Boughey will use the office to spearhead business development.

Paul said: “We provide services in IT Infrastructure environments for the major global outsourcers 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“Without our team in place the services our clients operate simply wouldn’t be able to work. We’re there to operate management processes and react to any issues instantly and all day every day we save our customers money by delivering a great service.

“The business has grown by reputation across the UK and mainland Europe, and we’re constantly adding to our staffing network to meet the demand for our services.”

Pomeroy’s staff operate an on-premise model at their clients’ facilities and Paul said the new base at the Innovation Centre will be used to manage its teams and act as a base to reach clients across the UK.

He added: “The Innovation Centre is a perfect base for us, and affords us the opportunity to take more space as demand dictates.”

Roz Deacon, from the University of Warwick Science Park’s Blythe Valley Innovation Centre, said the centre was proving to be very popular.

She said: “Pomeroy is a massive company which offers hugely important services to allow its customers to operate seamlessly without delays and we’re delighted to welcome Paul and Jim and the team as the latest tenants to join the Innovation Centre.

“The centre is close to being at capacity, although we do have some units available should companies be looking to start-up or grow here.”
