A Manchester company co-owned by a former runner-up in The Apprentice has made two senior hires as it looks to grow revenue to £3m.
Ruth Hall – who as Ruth Badger finished second in the 2006 series – co-owns Everything Tech, which was founded in 2010 and now employs 32 people at its 2,500 sq ft base on Charlotte Street.
As well as offering managed IT support, Everything Tech is a Microsoft Gold Partner and helps companies transform their business through the adoption of Microsoft Modern Workplace technology.
Hall said the appointment of Ben Turner as head of technical operational delivery and Lyndsay Fielding as head of finance, systems and people management would help the company grow turnover next year.
She said: “Our biggest assets are our staff and Ben and Lyndsay will really strengthen the senior leadership team.
“2020 has been an amazing year in that we’ve grown our customer base, workforce and moved into new offices in Manchester city centre and the promotions of Ben and Lyndsay mean we can continue to push for growth and improvement in 2021.
“Covid-19 saw some project work put on hold but next year looks very positive and these changes ensure we have the leadership to deliver it.”
Everything Tech, which has 144 customers and services over 2,500 users, is co-owned by sales and marketing director Lee Wrall, technical director Anthony Hautin and managing director Hall.
Its turnover grew by 28 per cent for the 12 months to the end of September 2020.
