New jobs promised as IT specialist secures Tata Steel investment
An East Yorkshire headquartered IT services company is on track for rapid growth and plans to expand its workforce by 50% this year after securing investment from a subsidiary of Tata Steel.
Hessle-based Intrasource, which recently underwent a management buyout spearheaded by Dave Collings, operations director and Matt Nunns, technical director), offers business-to-business IT support, phone systems, cloud services and IT consultancy to a range of sectors.
Established in 2000, the company will now use the £150,000 equity growth investment from UK Steel Enterprise, which is backed by the government’s Regional Growth Fund, to further bolster its sales and technical teams.
Collings said: “IT is an ever evolving industry, and this investment will help us to ensure that we have the necessary team in place to manage our growing customer-base whilst continuing to build on our reputation for excellence within the sector.
“Ultimately, our clients choose to establish contracts with us because they know we are able to look after their IT requirements all day, every day, all year round; and we are committed to always going the extra mile to keep their systems fully functioning whilst ensuring that we offer best-in-class products and services.”
Allan Wood, eegional Executive at UK Steel Enterprise, said: “Intrasource has continued to operate at the cutting edge of its sector since it was established in 2000, with a strong management team in place that has helped to cement its reputation for excellence within the IT services arena.
“With further growth and expansion plans afoot, this equity growth investment will help the business grow its team and offer its services to a growing number of business with staff based both here in the UK and further afield.”
Steve Frazer of Frazer Hall Corporate Finance introduced Intrasource to UK Steel Enterprise which provides business support and advice to new and existing businesses, as well as loan and equity finance of up to £1m to existing companies that are growing – particularly those creating jobs.
