Auxilion, the leading Irish provider of digitally transformative IT services and solutions, has announced that it will bring 60 new jobs to the North West and Yorkshire as part of its £15m UK expansion plan for the next three years.
The company, which operates in the UK from bases in Sheffield, Telford and Warrington, also plans to acquire a mid-tier UK IT service provider as part of the growth to “complement its existing portfolio of high-quality managed services and innovative IT solutions.”
Part of the multimillion investment will go towards Auxilion’s Services Centre of Excellence in Sheffield, which delivers 24/7 support to its growing customer base – spanning both the public and private sectors and including Dell, HP Inc, BT, Canford Health, Applegreen and Mainstream Renewable Power.
As well as developing the space as a hub for collaboration, ideation and value creation, Auxilion is expanding its floor space by 60 per cent and adding to its team. The aim is to increase its UK workforce by 60 people over the next two years and will be focused on the extension to its services centre of excellence, which will have the capacity for up to 120 employees.
The Sheffield location will be a hub of innovation and service excellence for Auxilion group, with part of the investment going towards new tools and technologies which will drive increased efficiencies and services innovation, necessary for the complex multi-cloud world.
The organisation, which works with industry-leading partners such as Microsoft and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, expects the investment to further strengthen its presence in the UK market, enabling it to drive significant business growth, strengthen its partner ecosystem and attract quality talent to achieve its ambitious growth strategy.
This growth will be driven by the acquisition and organic sales, with increasing demand across the areas of managed services, modern and hybrid workplace solutions, digital transformation strategies, ICT development, Business Process Optimisation solutions, resourcing and project governance services.
Philip Maguire, CEO of Auxilion, said: “Our acquisition plans and this significant investment show how committed we are to expanding our presence in the UK market, where we have operated for more than 20 years. The North of England offers unique opportunities, most notably due to the access it provides to top-quality talent.
“Having a team of highly skilled, engaged professionals is crucial in terms of our ability to deliver digital thinking, built differently. By taking advantage of the talent pool in the North of England and acquiring a like-minded, similarly aligned company, we can lead digital change and make a real impact.”
Earlier this year, Auxilion announced that it is on course to grow its revenues by 25 per cent year-on-year by the end of 2022, taking its revenues beyond £40million / €48 million.
