Hi-tech firm aims for £10m turnover
BUSINESS communications specialist Pescado has pledged to grow to £10m turnover within three years.
The company, which provides businesses with telecoms, IT and cloud and hosted services, now has a turnover of £4m, but aims to more than double in size through acquisitions and organic growth.
Pescado recently moved to a new home in Poplar House, Park West, Chester, giving it more than double the space it had in its previous home in Rossmore Business Park, Ellesmere Port. It now employs 25 in Chester with another seven in Chester, but founders and directors Fraser Watson and Jonathon Weeks hope to gro that to 45 within three years.
It has also hired Andy Murphy as IT director of Pescado Hosted, its IT and technology business.
Managing director Fraser Watson said: "The move to new offices in Chester gives us the space we need to achieve our ambitious growth plans. Our office will also act as a showroom because we will be using the very best business communications to ensure the highest level of service and client care to our customers.
"To continue to exceed the demands of our clients, we also need to recruit and we hope that our new location in Chester will prove attractive to potential applicants."
