Scottish cloud and managed services provider Brightsolid has announced the opening of a Manchester office as it eyes future expansion.
The Dundee-headquartered tech firm will increase its footprint with its first move south of the border – in a bid to drive new sales opportunities.
Established over 25 years as part of DC Thomson & Co Ltd Group, Brightsolid is one of Scotland’s leading providers of managed hybrid cloud and cybersecurity services for SMEs and public sector organisations.
Some of its current customers include Aberdeenshire Council, Albert Bartlett, Capita, Dundee City Council, Network ROI, Shell, West Yorkshire Combined Authority and University of Dundee.
The new city centre Manchester office will provide a strategic location to grow the firm’s client portfolio, with the aim of creating a 50% increase in sales and technical service staff in the next two years.
Alan Gardiner, Brightsolid’s chief commercial officer, said: “Brightsolid works in collaboration with customers to create unique cloud solutions that are tailored to each organisation. We don’t do one-size-fits-all.
“It starts with our dedicated tier III designed data centres, ensuring our clients’ critical IT infrastructure is secure, while providing industry-leading accessibility, scalability and connectivity. As one of the UK’s foremost hybrid cloud experts, we also help hundreds of organisations unlock the power, flexibility and cost-effectiveness of cloud.”
He added: “And with security at the top of most people’s agendas these days, we deliver some of the UK’s best MDR, SOC and BaaS services at affordable prices.
“While Brightsolid is already recognised as one of Scotland’s leading cloud services providers, the new Manchester office will be seeking to work with public and private sector organisations across the North of England, while also spearheading the expansion of our service offering across the UK.”
