Raft of new jobs following £3m turnover for Gateshead tech partner

Digital transformation specialist Synergi is marking its sixth anniversary by boosting turnover by 60 per cent and creating new jobs.

This year’s results come on the back of five years of 40 per cent year-on-year growth for the Gateshead-based business, and a £3m turnover.

Its 32-strong team is focused on helping organisations digitise working practices and migrate from traditional IT systems to more flexible and cost-effective cloud-based tech that improves efficiency and productivity.

Founded in 2013 by technology specialists Peter Joynson and Justin Short, Synergi recently invested a six-figure sum in launching the region’s first purpose-built Digital Business Den, an education hub for businesses and organisations.

CEO Peter Joynson said: “We’ve had a very strong year and exceeded our targets by a significant margin. Having predicted we would hit just over £2.5m, to actually hit £3m is very gratifying and a testament to the hard work of everyone in the business.

“Our results are an indicator of the number of organisations looking to migrate from traditional legacy systems that no longer serve their purpose or fit with future plans, and who are keen to embrace the latest cloud tech tools [for] the future of their organisations.”

Recently completed contracts include implementing Microsoft Business Central ERP solution for digital marketing agency Mediaworks; manufacturers Cottam Brush, and catering supplies specialist Crosbys.

Peter added: “Our success is built on a very simple strategy. We help clients across all sectors to identify pain points and create cloud-based solutions to manage and even eliminate them.

“The depth and breadth of contract wins over the last year have cemented our plans to expand on our bases in the North East, London and Scotland, and launch in two new geographic territories.”
