Fast growing robertson technologies has awarded its second
franchise with Ian Ross taking on the Shropshire territory for the
Edinburgh-based computer support business.
The Shropshire territory is a hotbed of potential, containing
the major conurbations of Shrewsbury and Telford.
At 49, Mr. Ross has an established managerial pedigree, which he
has earned at numerous organisations including soft fruit
co-operative Kentish Garden, camera supports manufacturer Vinten
Broadcast and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
He comes to robertson technologies after investigating the
franchise market for many years and failing to find a proposition
that lived up to his service-led ethos and potential growth
ambitions.
He explains: "robertson technologies is the first franchise to
really light the fire of my ambition. The support, training and
head office organisation has all been fantastic and has made
putting my dreams into place both practical and easy.
I have looked into this on numerous occasions over five or six
years and robertson technologies is the only franchise whose set-up
has truly given me certainty that the business is in it for the
long haul."
The Shropshire territory is the second to be awarded this year
and comes hot on the heels of the announcement for the Fife
territory, which was made in February. The franchise expects to
recruit more staff in the area as the business grows.
Hamish Robertson, founder of robertson technologies, comments:
"We have an ambitious growth strategy, but are very clear about the
type of people we want to work with. Ian completely understands the
plain talking, service-led type of support we want to offer and we
are really looking forward to helping him develop Shropshire into a
vibrant business."
Established in 2005, robertson technologies now turns over in
excess of £350,000 and is on course to award a total of six
franchises by the end of the year. The company is now active in
Edinburgh, Glasgow, Fife & Clackmannanshire and Shropshire.
