‘Ambitious’ Sunderland telecoms firm to create 26 jobs after rebranding

A telecommunications and IT services company in Sunderland has rebranded and announced plans to create dozens of jobs.

CCS, now trading as Nice Network, is aiming to double its staff count by taking on 26 new employees by 2020.

Founded 32 years ago, Nice Network was the first company in the North East to sell a mobile phone handset.

It is led today by head of sales Geoff Burns, who joined the business earlier this year, and head of marketing Nikki Lee.

Geoff said: “The Nice Network is a business with a very clear plan. We’re in growth mode and we wanted to do something with the brand that would send a message to our customers and competitors.

“We are ambitious, we are bold and we are, well, nice to do business with.”

He continued: “We’ve seen year-on-year growth since the company was set up, which is hugely impressive, and this new brand will really elevate the business and help us show clients what we are about – a business that cares about its clients and goes above and beyond to deliver excellent service.”

Nice Network provides telecommunications and IT services to clients including sportswear giants Nike and Puma, building firm Esh Group, appliances maker Russell Hobbs and Newcastle United.

Its new look was created by Sunderland’s Eunoia & Partners.
