Operational highlights

Adam Binks, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“I am pleased to be able to report on a period that has demonstrated the stability, agility and relevance of our business during a global crisis which has resulted in considerable uncertainty for many businesses.

Our team has worked tirelessly to continue to provide robust and uninterrupted service to our customers whilst adapting to new ways of working and, for that effort, I am extremely grateful.

Whilst COVID-19 has had a marked impact on many sectors, it has created a huge opportunity for the IT services sector. The value of robust flexible and secure IT has never been so important to businesses; outsourced managed services has been recognised as a key component of many businesses’ success, growth and continuity. We look forward to capitalising on that trend in the years to come.”
