Turnover up 33 per cent at Bristol IT specialist
Managed IT service provider WestSpring is celebrating a healthy year-end with results showing a 33 per cent growth in turnover over the last 15 months.
The company, based in Bristol, has a team of 31 and is also recruiting for new roles. The company turned over more than £5 million over the last 15 months compared with just under £3 million the previous year.
Co-founder Jason Small said: “It’s been great to see the continued growth of the business with this record quarter to end our financial year, especially as we have seen our consultancy and project work soar as we help clients to solve their security and productivity needs.
“We are about to recruit for more people into our client relationship team so any experienced relationship managers from the IT and comms sectors we are keen to talk to.”
Last year Wiltshire entrepreneur James Phipps (pictured centre) joined as executive chairman and is thrilled with how the company is evolving.
He said: “We have a record order book for our new financial year – which we’ve changed to align with key clients and suppliers – and we are matching that growth with four new recruits joining this month as we continue to invest even more in giving the award winning service that we are famous for.”
James was previously executive chairman of Excalibur Communications, leaving the board in 2020 after completing a management buy-out.
He has now stepped in to support this high growth business and is also making a significant personal investment.
The team have also welcomed new COO Victoria Parker to streamline and manage their own internal processes.
James and Victoria joined founders Jason Small (right) and Phil Cater (left). The pair met while both working for the same company and both felt they could offer something different – a brand which cared for clients and their team equally. They set up WestSpring IT in 2016.
“As founders we have recognised we have gone through exciting growth in recent years, but as the complexities have grown we needed to reflect that in adding to the depth and experience of the board and the overall team,” said Phil.
Based in Aztec West, the WestSpring IT team have big plans for 2025 and beyond to increase their client base across the South West and beyond.
The company provides strategic managed IT solutions, with service excellence a priority, establishing long lasting partnerships with businesses in the UK.
Clients include Halo Leisure, Circadian Trust, Method Consulting and Precision Resource Group.
