CCL The Independent IT Consultancy, based in Stratford-upon-Avon, has recently had an entire refresh of their brand - including website, marketing materials and logo.

CCL (whose client list includes Argos, Burberry, BAE Systems, Center Parcs, Oxfam and Virgin) have decided that it was time to bring their look and feel up to date under the guidance of their Business Development Manager, Elliot Krauze.

Elliot said: "We work in an ever changing and increasingly competitive industry, clients who have experienced CCL know we deliver an extremely high level of service. However those who haven't heard of us may have been put off by our previous marketing literature and website. I believe that the changes we have made allow us to clearly show what we have done, who we have done it for and what we have achieved over the last 25 years, and most importantly it will allow people who aren't familiar with CCL to understand exactly what we do".

The Stratford-upon-Avon based company engages with organisations of all sizes that require advice and guidance surrounding their IT issues. They offer a range of services from IT Strategy and IT Options to Project Management and System Selection along with their very popular IT Diagnostics.

Elliot added: "Certain sectors that are generally perceived to be on the cutting edge of technology such as Precision Engineering, Aerospace and Automotive often fall short when it comes to Pro-Active IT. We help to change this mindset by extracting the most out of their existing IT estate or helping the client through the process of implementing a new one".

CCL was also selected by Advantage West Midlands and Business Link for their 'Technology at Work' scheme, which allowed businesses to have a 100% government funded IT Diagnostic which proved highly successful, completing over 240 projects for West Midlands businesses in less than 12 months.

Projects Director David Whiston said: "During the current economic climate, one of the first things businesses tend to cut is IT spend. Money tends to be spent on 'firefighting' instead of creating ways to avoid fires breaking out in the first place. We provide a service whereby we can assess the overall effectiveness of current IT within a business and recommend ways in which to achieve greater levels of efficiency and profitability without dramatically increasing operating and capital expenditure."

The company also has ambitious growth plans and with the recent success of their sister company - CCL Forensics, which is now the largest Digital Forensics company in the UK employing 80+ people. It looks as though CCL will be celebrating many more anniversaries.
