Industry veteran named new sales director at Air IT
Nottingham-based managed service provider (MSP), Air IT, has appointed industry veteran Mark Whitehead as sales director.
The new appointment follows recent changes to the firm’s leadership team including John Whitty succeeding the company’s founder, Todd McQuilkin as CEO.
Having spent more than a decade across sales and marketing within the IT and communications sector, Whitehead will lead Air IT’s sales strategy.
He said: “My experience and success in the IT industry have been stimulated by introducing new technologies at the right time that are game-changing for businesses.
“To join the company at this time is a really exciting prospect. I’m eager to continue to build on Air IT’s success as a leading MSP having grown 30% year on year for the past three years, and to help new and existing clients transform in the post-pandemic era with the technology and support they need to thrive, providing them with a competitive advantage over their peers.”
As well as a faster transition to cloud-based technology and infrastructure, Air IT says it expects future growth from both its cyber security and business intelligence services.
Whitehead added: “Being a local Nottingham lad, I have been an admirer of Air IT for a number of years and have the upmost respect for the company, its customers and its team. So, to now be working for one of the UK’s leading managed service providers is a real honour and privilege.”
Whitty said: “It’s imperative that we attract the very best talent in order to maintain the highest standards, which our customers have come to expect for the past 15 years. With the addition of Mark as sales director, it will allow us to strengthen our service further and help clients enhance their businesses as we move into the next phase of our development.”
