Contracts boost for IT firm's expansion [Newcastle Journal (England)]


(Newcastle Journal (England) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) IT specialists Razorblue have secured more than Pounds 2m worth of contracts, leading to faster than expected growth.

The Catterick firm, which operates a Newcastle office and has plans to expand on Teesside, has seen contracts grow by around 40% in the last year.

It now expects to grow in size by a further 50% in 2014.

Razorblue specialises in consultancy, managed IT services, hosted solutions and connectivity for a wide range of SMEs, business parks and public sector organisations across the UK.



The new work includes a contract with Furlong Flooring, based in Dublin, to provide bespoke software development and outsourced IT services to their European operation, as well as a range of IT services to FTSE100-listed company Sports Direct.

The firm now employs 30 as a result of the work, and plans to add another five members of staff before the end of the year.


Dan Kitchen, from Wynyard, established Razorblue in 2006 and is the company's technical director. He said: "We're growing faster than we anticipated, which is thanks to the fantastic, multiskilled team we have and the sophisticated technology we have invested in and developed. It's an exciting time as we take on new staff, expand our premises and work with more and more Europewide organisations." (c) 2014 ProQuest Information and Learning Company; All Rights Reserved.
