Small business Cloud business Giacom has grown by 20 percent to £58.6 Million and is increasing its hires.
The company said it wanted its team to grow by 22 percent in 2022 across all departments and most of the hires will come from the local Hull community.
To nurture young local talent, Giacom has started apprenticeships within its Marketing and IT departments. The company has also encouraged training opportunities internally and recently launched its Personal Development Plan Scheme, which is available to all staff to up-skill themselves. This has lead to nine staff applying for the highly regarded CMI management certificates.
Additionally, in October 2021, Giacom announced its new partnership with cyber security giant Sophos, being chosen as one of three UK MSP distributors for Sophos.
They’ve so far acquired 356 of Sophos partners, and this figure is set to grow over 2022. Because of this expansion, Giacom created a new department and hired an in-house Sophos specialist team.
Giacom CEO Mike Wardell said: “We continue to place our staff as our number one priority, and want our staff to feel at home as they grow and develop within their roles and careers. As we continue a hybrid working approach, we aim to help our staff have a better work life balance, while providing them with an office space that helps them to relax and socialise with one another. Investing in our community is important to us too, and we are extremely proud of our Hull heritage.”
