Flurry of new business for Circle IT

Cardiff-based IT specialist Circle IT is defying the economic trend with a surge in new business.

The company, which operates throughout the UK, has signed up nine new clients in the first weeks of the New Year.

They include Lowless & Lowless, Loosemores Solicitors, Pramac (UK) ltd, and Monex Ltd, as well as LTL Connect, Keylet and Garran Lockers.

Circle IT Managing Director Roger Harry said, "We have expanded steadily over the past few years, and business is really bubbling at present. We now have a substantial portfolio of clients ranging from large blue chip companies to SMEs, public sector organisations and charities.

"One reason for the good business environment is that whatever the economic climate organisations need secure and reliable IT systems for them to operate effectively." "Our whole ethos is built on providing a flexible and personal approach to our customers, which we believe sets us apart in the IT support arena.

"We provide comprehensive and proactive system support and management, to ensure that in the event of IT problems occurring clients can be up and running again very quickly. We can monitor networks remotely, predict internal network problems and take action before they occur, and provide secure offsite data storage that removes the risk of information being lost."

Circle IT was started by Roger Harry and Alun Emanuel in 2001 and now employs 24 specialist staff.
