A leading IT consultancy and service provider has bolstered its team with a raft of key appointments as part of its growth plans for 2022.

Ten new team members are in place at Bournemouth-based QuoStar.

They bring extensive knowledge of working in the IT industry to the company’s already highly experienced team.

More senior tech high hitters are due to come onboard by May.

The ten new team members are:

• Alan Drake, Technical Service Delivery Manager, pictured right, with more than 25 years’ experience in the IT industry. He leads QuoStar’s new 24/7 UK-based manned service desk, which launched this month and provides customers with all-hours support from highly skilled IT professionals, 365 days a year. Alan is joined by Liam Baxter, Greg Foster and Carl Bennett from Nasstar, who each bring upwards of six years’ experience working in IT services.

• Michael Swart, who joins as a Technical Consultant with more than 30 years’ experience, Joanna Roper, pictured right, as Service Desk Team Manager with close to 30 years’ experience in tech and telecoms, and Rob Goult, who steps in as Senior Technical Consultant. Rob has over 20 years’ prior experience supporting decision-makers in the IT industry to develop and implement cost-effective technology solutions.

• New Relationship Managers Cliff Woodward and Jody O’Reilly, pictured right. Both bring over a decade’s experience each in business development within the tech space, and Andy Green with over two decades of experience in the field. Reece Scarley, a previous QuoStar employee, returned to the company at the end of 2021, taking the position of Professional Services Consultant, to architect technical solutions and to help with project delivery.

The latest announcement is part of QuoStar’s 2022 rapid growth trajectory.

It’s included the unveiling of a brand refresh led by Marketing Manager, Teila Hurlock-Phillips, who joined the company in June last year.

Robert Rutherford, CEO, said: “These new additions to our QuoStar team have been driven by our commitment to deliver the best service possible for our clients.

“All our new joiners have many years of experience working within IT services and we’re extremely pleased that they’ve chosen to bring that experience to QuoStar.

“We spent a lot of time during Covid positioning the business to come out stronger and with all the services mid-markets need in a forever changed world.

“We’ve released a raft of new technical, security, cloud, and strategic services, with our 24x7x365 manned UK service desk being a critical piece of our services wrap.

“These are very exciting times for QuoStar and we look forward to seeing the positive results that the growth of our proposition and team will bring for our clients.”

Founded in 2005, QuoStar is a full-service IT provider, delivering specialist IT support, consultancy and security services to mid-market and growth businesses in the professional services, financial and manufacturing sectors.
