IT firm expands with new appointment

Monday 24 May 2021

A local IT consultancy that launched during the pandemic has already grown, with the appointment of a new team member.

William Graham has joined Logiq as an associate technical consultant.

The firm, which provides cloud solutions and technical project management among other services, was set up by Giles Crouch and James Hope, who met while working at C5 Alliance.

Mr Hope said that, despite the challenges of the pandemic, the venture “turned out well” due to the impact of covid on the working environment.

“…Our skills were even more relevant in the market. In fact, we had to reconfigure one key project because the initial aim of having 20% of staff working from home necessarily became 100% of staff instead,” he said.

Reflecting on their year in business, Mr Crouch added: “…We have seen our client base grow rapidly. When we first talked about forming a start-up, we wanted to identify creative solutions to help people and businesses thrive. New technology allows business transformation, making everyone’s lives that much easier. We wanted to concentrate on the foundations, the infrastructure, which allows businesses to grow and utilise the new and ever-evolving features available to them.”

He continued: “We were quickly approached to work on a high-profile merger of two finance companies headquartered in the Channel Islands. It was a dream come true. In Jersey terms, it is an opportunity that doesn’t come along very often and to be asked to lead the infrastructure integration for such a large project straight away was extremely exciting. It showed that clients had faith in us.”
