Telecoms firm rings the changes with move to bigger offices
A SHROPSHIRE telecoms firm is targeting a record year of growth after relocating to new offices.
Ocean Telecom as moved to a 1,700 sq ft office on Mile Oak Industrial Estate in the heart of Oswestry’s business district after outgrowing its previous serviced offices in the border town.
The company, which provides business mobile, landline, broadband and hosting services, has acquired the additional space due to its need to accommodate expansion. The newly-renovated property houses its 12-strong team of sales, technical and administration staff.
The move is part of an expansion drive that will see it hit in excess of £1.8m in contracts by the end of 2017.
Ocean Telecom has enjoyed strong growth since it was founded in 1997 and now looks after more than 200 business clients – 75 % of which are based in Oswestry, including: Pentons Haulage, Fullwood, The Orthopaedic Hospital, The Fort and Hawk Group.
Further growth of at least 20% is predicted for the coming 12 months as a result of the move.
Jeremy Rose, managing director of Ocean Telecom, said: “This is a great move for our business and gives us the independence and space to grow. The location places us in the heart of our client base and gives us easy access to be able to visit them to offer support.
“The move signifies an important milestone in our history, which will build on our successful business model and allow us to expand operations further.
“Our new office space will allow us to grow both our offering and our client base further into Shropshire, Wales and the West Midlands.”
