A Shropshire communications company has seen such a surge in business it's doubling the size of its workforce and building new premises.

Purecom is an independent communications provider based on Shrewsbury Business Park, and the company's new headquarters are set for completion by the end of the year.

Managing Director, Matt Sandford, said they would be moving from Sitka Drive to new 3,800 sq ft purpose-built offices in Anchorage Avenue, just down the road.

"We're delighted to see our new premises nearing completion, and the added convenience of only moving just across the business park is great news.

"Despite the recession, our business is growing at an incredible rate, and we're now planning to double the workforce in the next 18 months, taking on ten new staff.

"Such growth in such a difficult economic period is testimony to the extremely high standards of customer service we deliver, and we're looking forward to working with even more companies across the Midlands."

The new offices will also include a state-of-the-art training suite where customers can learn how to use the very latest smart phones, including Blackberry handsets.

Purecom is an award-winning company that provides total communications solutions.

The firm has more than 30 years of industry experience behind it and delivers cost-saving telecommunication packages which utilise the latest technology from the best networks, carriers and manufacturers.

"As we are an independent provider, we can offer services from all the networks and carriers to make sure our customers have access to the best rates and cutting edge technology," said Matt.
