Pescado boosts growth plan with Midlands move
NORTH West business IT provider Pescado has expanded in the Midlands as it steps up plans to grow sales from £4m to £10m in the next three years.
It has opened an office in Castle Donington which will be led by newly-appointed Midlands sales manager Craig Knight and staffed by two field sales consultants.
The new recruits take the Chester company’s team to almost 40. The expansion coincides with the company’s biggest ever deal – a £300,000 contract to provide a leading gas maintenance and renewable energy firm with telecoms and IT support.
Managing director Fraser Watson said: “We are finding that more and more customers like the fact that we can provide them with all of their business communication needs vindicating our decision to launch a dedicated IT division just over 12 months ago.
“We now have offices in Chester, Basildon and Castle Donington, allowing us to react quickly to the needs of customers and potential customers across the UK.
“We believe we have a unique offering in being able to make a business’s technology work seamlessly from server right through to their mobile handsets.”
Last year Pescado moved from Ellesmere Port into 3,000sq ft of office space in Poplar House, Park West, Chester. It counts large corporates and SMEs among its clients.
