Scottish cloud services firm expands into Manchester – Scottish Business News

ONE of Scotland’s leading cloud services companies has announced its first expansion into England with the opening of a new office in Manchester.

Established over 25 years as part of DC Thomson & Co Ltd Group, Brightsolid is one of Scotland’s leading providers of managed hybrid cloud and cyber security services for SMEs and public sector organisations.

Some of its current customers include Aberdeenshire Council, Albert Bartlett, Capita, Dundee City Council, Network ROI, Shell, West Yorkshire Combined Authority and University of Dundee.

The new city centre Manchester office will provide a strategic location to grow Brightsolid’s current client portfolio, with the aim of creating a 50% increase in sales and technical service staff in the next two years.

Brightsolid’s Chief Commercial Officer Alan Gardiner said: “Brightsolid works in collaboration with customers to create unique cloud solutions that are tailored to each organisation. We don’t do one-size-fits-all.

“It starts with our dedicated tier III designed data centres, ensuring our clients’ critical IT infrastructure is secure, while providing industry-leading accessibility, scalability and connectivity. As one of the UK’s foremost hybrid cloud experts, we also help hundreds of organisations unlock the power, flexibility and cost-effectiveness of cloud.

“And with security at the top of most people’s agendas these days, we deliver some of the UK’s best MDR, SOC and BaaS services at affordable prices.

“While Brightsolid is already recognised as one of Scotland’s leading cloud services providers, the new Manchester office will be seeking to work with public and private sector organisations across the North of England, while also spearheading the expansion of our service offering across the UK.”
