The company has experienced a bumper year as a result of a reorganisation, spearheaded by new head of operations Michael Quinn.

On the back of the success, Integrity IT, which has offices in Annan and Carlisle, has recently welcomed four new recruits to the team, and promoted two members of staff as part of their personal and professional development.

“When I joined Integrity IT Solutions last year I wanted to change the structure of how the business functioned to ensure we were operating more fluidly and efficiently, which would mean we could offer an improved level of service to our customers.

Michael added: “I’m extremely proud of how well the entire team has engaged with the new vision, and the company is really reaping the rewards of their amazing work.

“Being able to provide local people with employment opportunities is a rewarding part of the job, and the new team members have all helped accelerate business growth by representing the company in the most professional manner and showcasing their exceptional knowledge of the industry.

“I’m an advocate of professional development and creating job roles to fit people’s specialist skill sets, so it’s also been fantastic to give key members of staff internal promotions to highlight just how valued they are by the company.

“We are in a position where we are planning ahead so we can provide a more comprehensive service to our clients, and we aim to create further job opportunities in the coming months.”

Ben Hoban has been appointed as a senior network engineer, Ben Haugh and Lauren Johnson have been recruited as IT technicians and Lukasz Bazydlo has started as an IT apprentice.

Ben Haugh is currently working on a major project to improve the wireless internet access points at Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle, and is excited to work on similar initiatives on behalf of Integrity.

He said: “Even though I haven’t been here for very long, there’s been so many opportunities to work on some really interesting projects. It's been great working on such an important project improving the wifi access to staff, visitors and patients at the hospital.

“I’m really enjoying being part of the team and everybody has been so friendly and helpful.”

Ben Hoban has returned to Integrity after working as an IT engineer for 15 months at a Cumbrian business chain.

He said: “What I missed most was the variety of projects which you work on regularly at Integrity IT, and I like how you move on to the next, very different, job here when you have finished one.

“When I spoke to Michael about returning, I was impressed with the improved structure of the business and his ambitions for the company, and I’m happy to be back helping customers by providing solutions to their IT problems.”

Josh Britton, who joined Integrity in 2015, has continued to impress and has stepped up to the role of network engineer, while Becci Grieve is now responsible for the company’s procurement and logistics operations.

Becci joined Integrity to work on the reception but her organisational and planning skills have seen her develop her role within the company.

She said: “Procurement and logistics is something I’d never done before, but I really enjoy the responsibility of making sure everything runs smoothly. My job is about making sure we deliver on our promises to our customers, and work with the team to make sure we are able to achieve our customers’ expectations.

“It’s great to know that I have the trust of the management team to try different things and that they will support me while I’m developing my learning of the role.”

Integrity IT Solutions specialises in the design, supply, support and installation of IT systems to businesses across the north of England and south-west Scotland.
