Gateshead tech firm celebrates UK expansion and major office move

Synergi, a growing technology company based in Gateshead, has relocated its head office to accommodate its expansion across the UK.

The company, which recently moved to larger offices on The Watermark business park, is celebrating its fifth anniversary with plans to develop its national presence in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and London.

Established in August 2013 by Peter Joynson and Justin Short, the directors saw a shift and opportunity in the market for a modern technology company which focused and specialised on a Microsoft toolkit of software and business applications.

There has been reportedly 30 per cent year-on-year growth with annual turnover set to hit almost £2m within this next 12 months.

Peter Joynson, Synergi MD, said: “The next five years should be even more exciting for both our business and customers.

“As companies more widely adopt cloud platforms and extend them to do more advanced things like process automation, the impact of emerging capability in AI and machine learning will bring a whole new dimension to the potential of our solutions and the value customers can expect from them.

“Much of our focus right now is about taking the mundane tasks out of human roles to help them add value to their organisation.”

Synergi’s current 20-strong team of technology and digital transformation consultants is steadily growing as more businesses and organisations switch from traditional IT systems to more flexible cloud-based technology.

The latest Microsoft technologies like Office 365, SharePoint, CRM and their Dynamics 365 financial solutions are all now available and can all be integrated via the cloud to automate and improve business functions.

Mr Joynson added that Synergi has adapted to a changing marketplace by realigning its business offer into three focussed pillars of expertise to allow them to offer relatively simple to highly complex solutions to customers.

The company’s ability has won contracts with many clients across the region as well as Scotland, the North West and more recently in London, including Irish Life, Repsol, Drager, Scottish Fire, Yorkshire Water, Babcock and Port of Tyne.
