This builds on a doubling of the firm’s headcount from 56 to more than 100 in 2022, following record revenue growth of 35% (projected) in the financial year to February 2023, up from 18% in the previous financial year, and a record pipeline of consulting and managed services projects for 2023. Chris Brooks, Managing Director of Symatrix, said: “We are very proud of our performance in these challenging times both in terms of winning net new customers across multiple sectors, including some very large contracts, but also with regard to our success in winning more work from existing customers. ”More than 50% of the company’s revenues are recurring.

It is a real testament to our team and our approach.” www.eurekasolutions.co.uk UK Connect has won an exclusive contract to deploy, install, manage and support connectivity and IT services at all Cala Group construction sites across the UK.
