A leading communications firm is to open its very first office in Ilkeston, Derbyshire and is calling upon the local community to find their very first charitable partnership.

The brainchild of Leon Braisby (35), Sean Newbold (34) and Duncan Burgess (44), the firm previously known as Nexsis Communications, rebranded 15 months ago to become Nexsis Comms Ltd and have chosen Ilkeston as its headquarters, partly down to its thriving economy.

Managing Director, Leon Braisby, said: "Although we have an employee base across the UK, the majority of the Nexsis team live locally to Ilkeston so when we were looking for a new base to work from it made perfect sense to bring the business home to Derbyshire".

"For the last twelve years we have conducted our business across all corners of the UK, supplying customers with our extensive knowledge gained through working in the industry. Whether supplementing their own in-house skills or providing dedicated expertise, we are able to help businesses make the correct decisions when investing in a communications solution. 

"By opening our very first office in Derbyshire, we hope to inform local business owners that they can make use of new and existing technology, usually thought of as only available to large corporate companies. We hope to show local businesses that by making the most of their existing communications architecture, or investing in new technologies, they can increase employee productivity. As Ilkeston now boasts a thriving economy and an abundance of industrial estates, it is the ideal place to lay some roots and start to do business."

Nexsis offer a raft of services including, Unified Communications, through the integration of business telephone systems, business data networks, along with business mobiles, and will be opening its very first office on Park Road at the start of February, and is looking for its very first charitable partnership.

Sales Director, said: "For the last few years we have been seriously thinking about our first charitable partnership. My nephew was born with a serious heart condition which means that I have seen first-hand the great work undertaken by many under resourced and unfunded local charities. By partnering with a charity which is close to the hearts of the local community in Ilkeston, we hope our work can benefit locally where it matters most.  

"As such, we have decided to let the people of Ilkeston decide which charity we should offer our support to. We are keen to find a small independent charity which has maybe struggled on both the funding and publicity side of things."
