In the beginning...
Roger Harry and Alun Emanuel set up the company when their existing employer decided to stop offering technical support to a handful of clients. With customer-service delivery at the heart of our new organisation, we maintained and grew our inherited clients, and it wasn’t long before other organisations were added to the growing portfolio of Circle IT clients.

After eight months of successful growth, we amalgamated Circle IT with a Telecom provider, who offered us access to their large base of customers. After working together for two years, Circle IT’s management wanted to take the business in a different strategic direction, so we undertook a management buyout making Circle IT an independent company once again.

Look where we are now!
Building on our reputation for service delivery, our growth since the management buyout has been staggering, with turnover increasing from £700k in 2005 to £1.8m in 2007, and the company forecasting to grow further to £2.3m for the coming year. Circle IT’s strong team of passionate individuals has also grown, with personnel numbers increasing from five at the time of the management buyout to its current level of 25, with plans to increase this to 30 by the end of 2008.

With a little help from Welsh Assembly Government (WAG)
Circle IT has worked closely with the WAG on a number of projects, particularly supporting us with business redevelopment following the management buyout; the move to our new Cardiff Gate offices, and most notably the launch of our fully managed Disaster Recovery service (CDR). All of the assistance from WAG has been gratefully received and we thank them for all of their contributions which have and continue to help Circle IT grow at a sustainable level.
