ANS Group on cloud nine with 14th year of profit growth

Cloud and managed services provider ANS Group has reported another year of growth with revenues of £62.6m for 2017, up from £46.2m in 2016.

For the year to the end of March, the Manchester-based company has announced
EBITDA before one off items of more than £12.2m, following continued demand for its end-to-end cloud and managed services offerings.

ANS has also secured places on the government’s Technology Products 2, Technology Services 2 and G-Cloud IX procurement frameworks.

The business, placed 7th on The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For list, continued to strengthen relationships across a range of sectors during the last six months, winning a string of contracts including TrustFord, Salford City Council, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and Greencore Group.

Paul Shannon, CEO at ANS, said: “Throughout the year we have focused on extending our reach across our vertical sectors. As a result, we’ve won several key public and private cloud managed services contracts and we have a clear strategy in place to continue growing our customer portfolio over the coming months.

“Our state-of-the-art technology solutions and focus on providing world-class standards of service have generated consistent growth with our public cloud offering and fully managed services so far this financial year. This growth is a testament to our skilled and hard-working teams, which we will continue to invest in, in order to retain and develop the best talent.

“Our mission is simple as we remain committed to providing our customers with innovative technology, world class expertise and exceptional service, enabling them to drive their business forward.  I am extremely confident in the team’s ability to achieve our targets for 2018 and beyond.”
