Q2Q IT, a North West-based IT specialist, is gearing up for significant growth in 2018. As the company edges closer to a £1 million turnover, it has strategically expanded its service offerings.
After a record-breaking growth year, Q2Q IT is not just on the brink of financial success but is also strengthening its position with new GDPR support for SMEs. This move aligns with its commitment to provide comprehensive IT solutions.
In 2017, Q2Q IT achieved a 17% increase in its turnover, reaching £950,000, and is set to further enhance its financial standing. Forecasts suggest a potential 15% profit growth by the end of 2018.
This impressive financial trajectory is driven not only by increased client numbers but also by diversifying service offerings. The expansion plan coincides with the firm’s strategic growth initiatives.
Starting the year with 35 managed IT support clients, Q2Q IT has added notable brands to its roster, including legal and advocacy entities.
Among new clients are Wright & Lord and Bannister Bates, both based in Morecambe, and IconSys, reflecting Q2Q’s growing influence within the legal and automation sectors.
Q2Q IT’s proactive service extension now includes GDPR support, crucial for SMEs as compliance becomes imperative.
Managing Director Andrew Stellakis, having earned EU Certified GDPR Practitioner status, leads this new offering, enhancing the company’s portfolio.
With six new GDPR-focused clients, Q2Q IT supports a variety of industries, including financial services and manufacturing.
In addition to broadening its service range, Q2Q IT has strengthened its internal team with the recruitment of key technical personnel.
The addition of technical manager Martin Bilton and support analyst Phil Irwin increases the team to 12, positioning the firm for further client engagement.
Q2Q IT is shifting from a reactive to a proactive client service model, emphasising the implementation of innovations rather than mere maintenance.
The goal is to deliver enhanced value through continuous improvement and technological advancements tailored to client needs.
Andrew Stellakis highlights the critical role of the skilled team in driving these improvements across the company’s service offerings.
Looking ahead, Q2Q IT aims for a 20% increase in turnover and plans to add six new support clients within the year.
The focus remains on expanding GDPR consultancy and maintaining high standards in regular managed IT services.
Q2Q IT’s strategy involves balancing core IT support while enhancing new service lines to ensure comprehensive client support.
As General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into effect, Q2Q IT’s consultancy becomes increasingly vital for businesses seeking compliance.
Q2Q IT’s strategic expansion and commitment to client-centric solutions poise it for substantial growth. By embracing GDPR consultancy, coupled with enhanced IT support services, they are well-positioned to navigate the evolving technological landscape.
