Re-launch celebrated with European deal and major recruitment drive

A professional services company has marked its re-launch by winning a £6m, pan-European deal and appointing three new directors to drive the next stage of its expansion.

Following significant growth and development Newcastle-based Premiertec Consulting Ltd, yesterday re-launched under a new name, Claremont, with the help of North East creative agency El - Roboto

The company, which services some of the biggest multinationals in the world, now plans to increase its focus on support services both in the North East and across Europe.

As it looks to ramp up its investment into its support services division, it has appointed three new directors in David Golding, Jonathan Stuart and Mark Vivian.

Managing Director Steve Crosby said: “We decided to launch under a new name to reflect the fact that we have evolved almost unrecognisably since our inception six years ago.

“These are exciting times for the business and we are delighted to have been able to bring directors of the calibre of David, Jonathan and Mark into the company.

“They will be instrumental in managing the next stage of our development.”

In the last year the firm has doubled its annual sales to £12m, growing its workforce to 20 and network of associates to 50 in the process.

Now the company has landed a new contract with its long-standing client Ricoh – the global supplier of print, document and IT services.

After successfully deploying a leasing solution to Ricoh’s UK business, Claremont has been awarded an additional contract, worth £6m over two years, to roll out the solution to several European locations.

Mr Crosby added: “Our new contract with Ricoh, which gets underway this month, is testament to the fact that we are now able to more than meet the demands of some of the world’s biggest firms.”
