  Covid-19 recovery

  We will be utilising partner organisations and contractors from the IT sector which has seen an oversupply due to the limited opportunities available. This has been particularly prevalent in the North West of England where a number of consultants have struggled to find work and have been unemployed for a signific period due to the impacts of Covid on the economy. Our commitment is due to utilise resource from this sector and to work with SMEs that are able to support us on our service provision thus proactively impact the North West economy as a result. The impact we have will be measurable by the number of North West contractors and companies we utilise to provide our services that were previously unemployed in the last 12 months.

  Tackling economic inequality

  Our policy is to work with local entrepreneurs and small businesses that provide a niche service in the Technology and Change arena. We currently work with a number of small partner organisations within the North West region and the intention will be to grow this number to provide opportunities to other small North West companies to allow them to showcase their abilities under our brand. In terms oe measures we will be able to demonstrate its success by the number of micro and SME companies that are engaged on our Client deliveries over the coming 12 months.
