IT specialist launches online offering to support city centre retail store

Ardwick-based GBM Digital Technologies has invested more than £100,000 into the launch of an online offering for its existing retail store, Sync, on Manchester’s Deansgate.

For the past 25 years, GBM Digital Technologies, a nationwide provider of IT services and solutions for businesses and schools, has been helping businesses to increase productivity and reduce business costs through the implementation of the latest technology.

It has decided to expand on its foundations by launching its retail offering to bring its technology expertise to more people.

The firm is an Apple-authorised reseller, Apple-authorised service provider, Apple-authorised training centre and Apple solution expert for education.

Although Sync was only launched last March, GBM has already invested more than £500,000 into the retail offering.

Sync is also continually looking at ways it can innovate and evolve.

Chris Costello, director of Sync and GBM, said: “For the last 25 years we’ve been transforming businesses with technology to improve productivity and reduce their business costs.

“To really enhance our services we knew we needed to give everyone the chance to access tech, not just business owners.

“The result is the launch of a fully-accessible e-commerce website, which allows us to take Sync to the next stage by communicating and providing services and products directly to a UK audience.”
