Farrpoint the IT and infrastructure company founded in Edinburgh over 10 years ago has opened a new office in Manchester.
With this new outlet they predict that the firm’s turnover will grow by 50% by the end of March 2018, so they have added 15 new employees to their staff in the last year. They have also appointed two new consultants to represent Farrpoint in the North of England.
Dr Andrew Muir, co-founder and Director of FarrPoint said: “Our new office in Manchester. will be our base in the North of England as we continue to grow and work on new projects in this area. The region is a hot bed for technology startups and SMEs, with hubs in both Manchester and Newcastle growing at a speed that rivals those based in Edinburgh and London. With our experience of working in tech hubs such as Edinburgh, our skill set and expertise will benefit growing businesses in the North of England. There is also a great deal of opportunity for FarrPoint in the public sector space in the area, with the ongoing city deals and LFFN (Local Full Fibre Networks) programme.”
Muir continued: “Following on from opening our office in London last year, and thanks to our recent growth, we have created two new roles and have plans to take on further staff as we continue to pick up business and projects south of the border. We have already successfully completed a diverse range of projects in the North of England, working with both local authorities and private companies. Our physical presence in Manchester will help us to build on this. As villages, towns and cities across the UK become smarter and technology continues its reach into every business, there becomes a growing demand for our independent advice on tech investment, procurement and deployment, for which we have a proven track record.”
