Key Appointments At Northumberland-based Trench Networks

A Northumberland-based internet solutions provider is preparing its business for future growth with a number of key appointments.

Trench Networks, which specialises in bespoke connectivity services for the construction industry, has launched its recruitment drive as the company approaches its third anniversary. The bolstered team will enable Trench Networks to service the further growth of the business and better serve the needs of its existing clients.

Kevin West is Trench Networks’ new field service engineer. Having previously worked for multi-national construction firm, Carillion, Kevin is an experienced site engineer and will be responsible for the installation and maintenance of Trench Networks’ systems on customer sites and will also provide IT support and technical assistance.

“I’m delighted to have joined the team at Trench Networks,” Kevin said.

“It’s a young, dynamic company to work for and I’m really enjoying learning about what they do and how they build their Outpost product from scratch, install it on sites and see it deliver results for clients.”

Luke Davison is the team’s new apprentice. Luke will shadow the rest of the team to build up work experience while studying to complete his Level 3 Infrastructure Technician training through Newton Aycliffe-based Baltic Training. Once fully qualified, Luke will provide first-line support to Trench Networks’ clients in his role as junior systems analyst.

“To be able to work alongside the team at Trench Networks as part of my apprenticeship is fantastic,” Luke said.

“The technical knowledge and hands-on experience that I will gain will stand me in very good stead for my future in the IT sector and I’m keen to learn as much as I can from Kevin and the team as I progress through my training.”

Claire Hollyman, operations director at Trench Networks, added: “This is a really exciting time for the business.

“Since establishing the business in 2015, we have brought our ‘Outpost’ product to the market and attracted several blue chip clients including a number of prominent housebuilders, civil engineering companies, utilities and commercial contractors across the North East.

To have grown the business organically to a point where we can create sustainable jobs for good people is a real achievement and we are delighted to have Kevin and Luke on board.
