Buoyant year puts spring in IT company’s step  

South West managed IT service provider WestSpring IT is celebrating healthy year-end with results showing a 33% growth in turnover.

The company turned over more than £5 million over the last 15 months compared with just under £3 million the previous year.  

Co-founder Jason Small said, “It’s been great to see the continued growth of the business with this record quarter to end our financial year, especially as we have seen our consultancy and project work soar as we help clients to solve their security and productivity needs.

“We are about to recruit for more people into our client relationship team so any experienced relationship managers from the IT and comms sectors we are keen to talk to.”

Westspring has a team of 31 and is also recruiting for new roles. Last year Wiltshire entrepreneur James Phipps joined as Executive Chairman.

James was previously Executive Chairman of Excalibur Communications, leaving the board of the company in 2020 after completing a management buy-out.

He has now stepped in to support Westspring and is also making a significant personal investment.

He said, “We have a record order book for our new financial year and we are matching that growth with four new recruits joining this month as we continue to invest even more in giving the award-winning service that we are famous for.”

The team has also welcomed new Chief Operations Officer Victoria Parker to streamline and manage their own internal processes.  

Westspring IT Co-Founder Phil Cater said, “We have gone through exciting growth in recent years, but as the complexities have grown we needed to reflect that in adding to the depth and experience of the board and the overall team.”

Based in Aztec West in Bristol, WestSpring IT has ambitious plans to increase its client base across the South West and beyond.
