Several large financial and City-based customers asked Centralis if we could open a Southern office to help support their businesses with their desktop and virtualisation plans.

James Bunce has been recruited as Account Director to drive growth into this sector from the newly opened offices.

To support him Ian Jones has also joined from ECS Arrow as Bid Office Manager.

“I’ve known Ian and respected his work for almost a decade. I'm delighted to be working with him again to establish an industry leading SLA for responding to all inbound sales opportunities” says Rob Greenslade Sales and Marketing Director at Centralis.

Greenslade continues, “New business sales accounted for 40% of turnover in 2009 and we have continued into Q1 2010 with record breaking sales, supporting high customer demand. The new City office together with the Bid Office allows us to react quickly to any joint-SI opportunity and to be at hand to assist any of our Southern-based customers”.

Commenting on the opening, managing director Ewen Anderson said “I am delighted to be expanding the business at this time. Our focus on application and desktop delivery has never been more relevant to customers and the new offices are essential to serving our growing customer base in the City.”

Centralis is proud to have received the Silver Partner award for 'Outstanding Achievement' following the annual NetApp awards ceremony on April 29th 2010.

Rob Greenslade, Sales and Marketing Director at Centralis was at the gala dinner at The Bloomsbury Ballroom, London, to collect the award.

Dudley Primary Care Trust recommended Centralis for the award after we worked with NetApp to implement a new storage solution as part of a shared services project to support up to 3000 staff.

Bill Remmer, IT Manager for the Trust commented "So far the implementation has been successful and in our experience the NetApp consultants working with Centralis were very competent providing us with reassurance that the solution would deliver as expected. It is early days but we are confident that NetApp is an appropriate solution to support our business and we have capacity to provide additional services to local health providers with ease.”
