UKFast to create 100 jobs

INTERNET hosting company UKFast has said it will create 100 jobs over the next 18 months.

The Manchester-based company, which employs around 130 staff and is on target to increase annual sales to £16m, said jobs are being created across the business, with a particular focus on client-facing roles.

Lawrence Jones, managing director, said: “The internet is allowing us to automate a great deal of what we do which, in turn, creates roles for new members managing the growing businesses on our network.”

He added that UKFast’s product range has grown in response to developing market areas including cloud computing, which has been particularly instrumental in the growth of the company.

Jones said: “At UKFast we recruit people that we know will thrive in our particular environment. Skills can be taught but attitude is ingrained; every member of our team is passionate, dynamic and supportive of one another.”
