It’s Been a Record Year for Start Tech

We are wrapping up a phenomenal year for our UK based MSP business.

This year we have celebrated our 24th birthday and we’ve seen a 24% increase in turnover in the last year.

Awards

This week our managing director, Ian Groves, flew to LA and picked up the MSP Titan of the Industry Award (across EMEA) at a star studded awards ceremony.

This year we have also won the UK & Ireland Solution Provider Spotlight Award at the CompTIA Community Spotlight Awards, the Pax8 Beyond Partner Award in the ‘EMEA Peak Performance – Security’ category in Berlin, and we were named as one of Britain’s 50 Best Managed IT Companies.

To have this amount of industry recognition is an amazing feeling for the whole team. We’ll also be needing a bigger awards shelf!

A Growing Team

Aside from the awards collection, the team has grown too. We’ve taken on five new members of staff this year. As well as supporting apprenticeships, we have had our first T Level Student from Shrewsbury Colleges Group.

Promotions

There have been two major promotions in the last month.

Jordon Tipper has been promoted to Operations Director and Kieran Jones is the new Client Strategy & Professional Services Manager.

Jordon’s promotion has made room for Kieran to step up into a new role where he will oversee account management, strategic business reviews and internal project delivery.

We’re really excited to see how the business will evolve with his input.

And Jordon, aged 26, is stepping up to Operations Director to execute the vision of the business. He entered the business in 2017 as an apprentice. Since then, he has swiftly climbed up the ranks to senior management and has been integral to our business growth. He’s already achieved so much so young; he has a very exciting future in the sector.

With a successful 2024 under our belts, we are excited to embark on 2025 with plans to grow our client portfolio even more.
