An award-winning IT company with bases in Birmingham and the Black Country is helping businesses to grow in the New Year, providing a series of workshops to create much-needed jobs.

JamesCash.co.uk, based in Plant Street, Cradley Heath, has led by example, with a 20 per cent growth in support revenues this year.

Managing director James Cash has seen his one-man operation expand over six years into a thriving business - and wants its business growth initiative to give a lift to the local economy.

The leading IT support operation, at www.jamescash.co.uk/ provides reliable IT support to dozens of West Midlands companies. This year it has taken on an extra engineer, bringing the workforce to seven.

James Cash said: "Encouraging our clients to grow is at the heart of what we do. We are sharing our success via business growth development workshops for clients, providing an on-line portal for sales and marketing training.

"We don't tend to lose clients, and have picked up several new ones. There is business out there if you look hard enough."

"We are really interested in people development. If people and companies grow, that can make a positive difference to society. Actions speak louder than words, and our business growth initiative is creating jobs."

JamesCash.co.uk, which also has offices in Temple Row, Birmingham, is also giving ten per cent of profits to good causes.
