Employs 150, moving to Coventry 2004.

“We have chosen to move to Coventry for a number of reasons.

“As a service company, transport and ease of access is very important to us. We have a great number of field engineers and our vans radiate out every day of the week. Coventry is superbly placed in the middle of the country and has very good communication links which will help our business be more effective.

“A major part of our business is the integration of communications and telecommunications systems and there is a rich tradition in this sector in Coventry. As a result there is an extensive labour market for us to use as we grow as a company.

“We have also found that we have been well looked after by the city. The council has been extremely helpful and supportive. The agencies have understood our needs and actively tried to help us realise our ambitions. “We have also found that there is a good supply of commercial property of all kinds across the city, which has allowed us to make an informed choice for the future of the business.

“We are looking forward to a prosperous future in Coventry.”
