Integrated communications solutions provider Amillan has invested in Solihull with its purchase of a £1.5m development at Highlands Court in Cranmore.

Founded in 1985 by managing director Phil Jordan, the business started as a cabling company and has grown into an infrastructure and applications specialist, previously based in Aston.

Boasting a host of high-profile customers such as the NEC, Wimbledon, Halfords, Solihull Care Trust, Swinton Insurance and Dixons Retail Group, Amillan is at the forefront of designing and implementing business solutions that can help companies work more efficiently and cost-effectively.

Phil Jordan, managing director of Amillan, said: "Amillan has been growing at an impressive rate and it became clear that we needed to identify new premises that could house our growing workforce. We are a Midlands business, born and bred, and were very keen to remain within the Midlands.

"The business is incredibly focused and has been growing despite the challenging financial climate. The move to the new premises in Solihull is one more way in which Amillan can see its hard work paying off."

Richard Reid, strategic development director at Amillan, said: "The fantastic premises at Highlands Court were exactly what we were looking for, enabling us to create a customer area which can house over 100 people for seminars, training sessions and customer demonstrations on how Amillan's communications solutions can benefit their businesses."

Lorely Burt, MP for Solihull, said: "Solihull is an attractive setting for organisations with its business-centric focus combined with a well-placed location on the transport network. We warmly welcome Amillan's decision to select Solihull for its relocation and Amillan is an exciting new addition to Solihull's quality business community."
