"Ensuring we have access to the best colleagues, who are able to deliver robustly architected network and cyber resilience, is simply critical for our multi-national clients whether they are in Financial Services, the Public Sector or Arms Length Organisations. No matter the vertical sector they operate in, in a digital first world, all demand impeccable connectivity and operational performance. With Simon and Rob, supporting our existing Technical Solutions colleagues, I am confident we can continue to deliver prosperity to our clients.”
