Glorious contract for CMS

LANCASHIRE IT infrastructure firm CMS Group is toasting a high profile contract win, worth more than £450,000, from the Goodwood Estate in Sussex.

Blackburn-based CMS will operate the outsourced IT service desk for the Goodwood organisation.

Famous for its horse racing and motorsport heritage, Goodwood hosts numerous annual events such as the Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival, Vintage and Glorious Goodwood which CMS will also support during these key periods.

Based in West Sussex and owned by Lord March, the estate also includes a hotel, three restaurants, a private members club, two golf courses, an air field and Europe’s largest lowland organic farm.

Martin Young, sales and marketing director at CMS said: ““Servicing the entire Goodwood Estate is no easy challenge, simply due to the size and variety of the organisation.

“Having researched each business aspect, we’ve compiled a package which not only addresses these individual needs, but the requirements of the entire Goodwood portfolio.”

CMS Group, which has 45 staff, has offices and data centre facilities in Manchester and London and well as in Blackburn.
