Flurry of contract wins sees IT firm take larger premises

Octavian IT has celebrated winning a plethora of new contracts by expanding into larger premises.

The Nottinghamshire-based managed IT services provider saw its annual recurring revenue increase by £78,000 over the last 3 months following six new contract wins, several of which are with companies operating in the security industry.

The firm, which recently added three new recruits to its team, has now moved to more extensive offices in Bingham.

One contract valued at more than £142,000 over 2 years will see Octavian install IT and phone systems and provide 24/7 support for a London-based security services provider. Others include a project to move an accountancy practice to a new cloud-based centralised server system in Microsoft Azure and an IT support role with a logistics group.

Managing director Ben Solomon said: “The past three months have been an exciting time for Octavian IT. We have added three new members of staff tour growing team, increased our revenue significantly and won six major contracts.

“We are continuing to make inroads into the security sector, and recently became Cyber Essentials accredited, which demonstrates our commitment to our own internal cyber security standards and protection of our clients systems. We’re pushing now for the next phase which is Cyber Essentials Plus, followed by the ISO standards.

“The speed and scale of our expansion made it necessary to take larger premises, which we have now done. We’re now looking forward to a busy and prosperous year ahead.”

The company is part of the multi-service Octavian Group.
