Derby-based outsourced IT and telecoms specialist Link ICT has moved to new offices on Royal Scot Road in Pride Park, Derby. The company is also about to celebrate its 20th anniversary having been founded in 2004 by current Company Director Mark Fryers.
Until recently, the company which now employs 17 people was based at St Peters House on Mansfield Road in Derby. The move is as a result of significant growth in the needs of the education sector and local businesses wanting to improve their ICT services and security.
The new two storey offices comprise of 1,950 square feet of space. The offices have been fitted out to provide dedicated working areas for network managers, technicians and office staff as well as meeting rooms, kitchen facilities and bathroom facilities for team members who run or cycle to work.
In addition, brand-new electric vehicle charging stations have been installed for both staff and company-owned vehicles to further support continued efforts to encourage more environmentally friendly living and lessen pollution.
Commenting on the move, Company Director Mark Fryers said: “Over the last year we have won several new contracts as well as projects related to the Government Connect the Classroom initiative.
“We also pride ourselves on our ability to build relationships with schools and businesses as their outsourced ICT partner which also helps them plan their long term IT strategies.
“Whilst most technicians will be working out on site, we recognised the need to ensure our office base reflected the culture of our organisation and has capacity for the additional team members we need to support this growth.”
He added: “Pride Park is an excellent location as we will be surrounded by other likeminded business owners which should also help us to expand the services we provide to the SME sector.”
Also based at the new offices will be School Transition Limited, a division of Link ICT founded five years ago which offers a range of unique GDPR-compliant data transition portals for the education sector.
