Lanarkshire networking and communications firm Provista UK is on track to reach record revenues of £7 million in the financial year to July, up from £5.6m the previous year.
With sales projected to rise by nearly a third, Hamilton-based Provista has over the last year increased its staff 28 per cent to 30 members of staff.
Provista’s private and public sector clients include Baillie Gifford, Wood Mackenzie, Canadian Natural, the Scottish Parliament and Greater Glasgow NHS. The company specialises in areas such as unified communications, secure wireless systems, IT security, local area networks, wide area networks and data centre solutions.
The Cisco partner company has operators situated in locations from Aberdeen to Birmingham and is currently focussed on expanding in northern England, where it has identified what it says is market demand for a “more responsive and tailored service” than that achievable from large-scale competitors such as BT or Virgin.
Director Stuart Little said: “Ten years ago a few of us spotted what we believed to be a real opportunity in the market – the need for an independent firm to offer expert consultants, right through to the build, supply and maintenance of technological, network and video solutions.
“Since then it has been a decade of cautious but consistent growth, using profits to expand organically, making sure to retain the culture of our brand.
“With that careful attention and by sticking to our ethos of placing the customer at the heart of operations, we have been able to grow to the scale where we can deliver solutions for a client of any size, anywhere in the UK.”
“In an ever-changing industry we can’t wait for what is certain to be a hugely exciting next ten years.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
