Gateshead based digital transformation specialist celebrates “record-breaking” year

North East tech and digital transformation company Synergi has announced a record-breaking year and strengthened its management team for further growth in 2023.

The national tech services company, with headquarters in Gateshead, has just confirmed annual revenues of more than £6m, representing more than 20 per cent year-on-year growth. Turnover is predicted to double again in the next five years.

Synergi has a strong pipeline of existing and new work going into 2023 and will be recruiting graduates, senior consultants and managed services support desk staff.

Established in August 2013 by Peter Joynson and Justin Short, the directors have grown the workforce to more than 50 in 2022, developing a presence in North Yorkshire, Birmingham and London. Synergi already has consultants working across Scotland and south East England.

During the year the company secured many key account wins. At a national level these included The Royal Mint, Manchester Airport Group, The Science Museum and Dounreay. Key regional account wins included Houghton International, UpNorth Group, Petards, Elanders Print, and various education trusts.

Synergi managed its continued expansion through the year by making a series of key appointments, including experienced financial director Keith Atkinson, along with senior developers, process improvement consultants and managed service consultants.

Peter Joynson, CEO of Synergi, commented: “Our growing momentum with Microsoft Power Platform and other automation solutions has become a catalyst for growth post-pandemic. More companies and large organisations recognise the need to automate business processes and accelerate digital transformation projects.

“Dynamic companies recognise they need to be more agile and have to alter existing processes in response to a changed environment. They want to improve business effectiveness, with fewer staff tied up with mundane process and administration tasks and more people focused on their core business.”

Chief technology officer Paul Burns leads the managed services team, which is another “strong” revenue stream for the business, particularly in the area of cyber security.

Paul Burns explained: “Cyber security is very real and a serious concern for more companies and organisations. Hackers, whether mischievous or malevolent, are constantly working to find open doors and weaknesses in company systems. It’s business critical that companies protect themselves as well as customer data.”
