Manchester IT firm Gekko reports triple-digit growth

IT consultancy Gekko is celebrating after 2015 saw its turnover skyrocket year on year by 300%.

The Manchester-based firm’s turnover rose to just under £1m as it signed new contracts with a string of North West firms, including lighting wholesaler LSE Retail Group and property management business urbanbubble.

Kristian Burrill, the firm’s co-founder and director, said: “We believe that technology should be simple and accessible, improving the way all businesses communicate and function.”

“Gekko is about being curious. We want to have a partnership with our clients that go beyond expectations.”

The company was formerly known as IT Sourced but rebranded in May 2015.

Kristian continued: “The highlight really has been the rebrand and move to our amazing new office. 2015 saw us evolve into the business we’re striving to be and create a space that reflects the business too.”
