The IT Services division of NG Bailey, the Ilkley-based independent engineering, IT and facilities services group, has reported a sales growth of 7.8% for the first half of 2016.

During the period from March to October, the division secured more than £23m worth of new contracts across the UK for its structured cabling, electronic security and DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) services.

The company has won more than 30 new IT contracts since February, spanning the full breadth of its services portfolio.

These new contract wins, plus strong growth through contract extensions, brings the IT Services division’s sales in the 2016-2017 financial year to £38.8m so far, up nearly 8% on the same period last year.

NG Bailey’s IT Services division of has secured contracts across both the commercial and public sectors, including nine deals with universities in the Midlands, Yorkshire and the North West.

It has also been commissioned to deliver projects in the healthcare, retail, offices, transport and local authority markets, building on its already strong position in these sectors.

Bob Dunnett, managing director of NG Bailey’s IT Services division, said: “We are extremely pleased by our sales growth so far in 2016 and look forward to maintaining this momentum to build on our strong sales and profitability performance in the last financial year.

“Our focus on positioning ourselves to deliver highly technical solutions in response to increasingly complex and demanding project briefs is paying great dividends.

“Clients are increasingly realising the benefits of partnering with trusted suppliers like NG Bailey who can deliver innovative, tailored and cost-effective solutions that best meet their needs.

“The emergence of new technologies has enormous potential to change the way buildings are designed, managed and used and we continue to stay at the forefront of developments. We’ve already seen examples of this in IP security and smart buildings and expect to see further disruption to companies as the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities shake up the market.”
