On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
Managed IT services and solutions company, Retail Assist, has appointed Tony Sherwin as its new head of technical services.
Prior to becoming a senior leader, Sherwin specialised in IT infrastructure, networking and security, working in a range of sectors.
He said: “My role is varied and one that is always busy, making it extremely interesting. I review technical solutions before they are implemented, strategising the technology landscape in order to give appropriate recommendations to Retail Assist and our clients.
“I regularly review how we can continue to improve the service we offer to our clients by understanding what their biggest issues are, whilst ensuring our own systems and our clients’ systems are functioning and healthy – a lot of effort goes in to making this happen. Along with this, I regularly review current IT security threats and ensure that, where appropriate, these are mitigated against with appropriate controls in place for both Retail Assist and our clients.
“I like to be kept busy and this role certainly keeps me occupied. It’s important to stay at the forefront of technology and understand what trends are staying and need to be considered for the future; making it all come together excites and challenges me, which I absolutely love.”
Derby-based IT firm Infuse Technology has appointed Beth Harrison as sales administrator.
The moves comes off the back of a successful growth period for Infuse which has seen profits increase by almost 30%.
Managing director Paul Howard said: “Whilst the pandemic has been tough on many businesses, it has also provided time to sit back, reflect and plan on what our businesses need in order to grow going forward. For many, this need is IT.
“Over the past few months, we have seen a huge uptake in businesses revisiting their IT strategy and we are perfectly placed to support with this and implement any changes necessary.
“Adding Beth to the team means we have additional support for our clients and we are delighted to welcome her to Infuse.”
