Two new directors for IT and comms firm

Sandiacre-based IT and communications provider Air-IT has announced two new appointments to its board of directors.

Matt Storr has joined the company as client services director, and Mark Taylor is now finance director.

With 30 years’ experience in the B2B technology sector, Storr is heading up the client services department and will be closely involved in new business development.

He said: “Having already identified areas where efficiencies can be improved, I look forward to working with the team to strengthen our service and to further establish Air-IT as the region’s number one Managed Service Provider (MSP).”

Mark Taylor, who initially joined the company in 2017 as finance manager, is a fully qualified chartered managed accountant. He also has over 30 years’ experience, including 10 years in the telecoms sector, with previous roles ranging from commercial director to account management.

He said: “I was extremely proud to be invited to join the board and was readily pleased to accept the opportunity. The company has an incredibly bright future and I am very much looking forward to working with the leadership team to drive the business and our clients to the next level.”

The company has revealed growth plans to double the number of its employees from 50 to 100 by 2022.

James Healey, managing director at Air-IT, said: “Since relocating to our new offices located between Nottingham and Derby last year, we’ve seen a significant increase in demand for our services. With even more exciting plans ahead, we felt now was the right time to bring our new directors on board.

“Both Matt and Mark bring an impressive array of skills to the table and will be invaluable in our plans to strengthen new and existing client relations, accelerate financial growth and attract new clients in the East Midlands and beyond.”
