Another Year To Remember For Razorblue

Issue 81

From humble beginnings in a bedroom 16 years ago, Managed IT Service Provider razorblue has repeatedly gone from strength to strength, enjoying phenomenal growth, success and winning numerous awards.

Specialising in managed IT, security services, super-fast connectivity, cloud hosting and business software solutions across a broad range of industries, razorblue works with over 500 companies across the UK and has made two acquisitions in the last two years alone, with others in the pipeline.

In its financial year ending June 2022, razorblue has continued this trend with an impressive 48 per cent revenue growth. The company has established its own apprenticeship programme working with Darlington College, created 30 new jobs, acquired a business in Stirling and welcomed multiple 500+ user new customers. It has also moved to larger premises in the North East and Scotland to accommodate its rapid growth.

Dan Kitchen, CEO at razorblue said: ”Our continued success is testament to the team we have built and the hard work and dedication they deliver every single day. From our apprentices to middle management, right up to the board, our values and ethos are one of the most integral things in our business and play a large role in giving us the structure to achieve what we are.

”I am incredibly proud of our team; we’ve enjoyed another recordbreaking year with yet more exciting plans which will only see that continue.”

Having grown exponentially over the last few years, razorblue boasts seven offices, a headcount of over 150, a client base which covers the length and breadth of the UK and is on track to hit £20million in turnover in its next financial year.

2021 saw the business win numerous awards, including the Service category in the prestigious North East Business Awards, as well as beginning a partnership with Teesside University which sees key members of the razorblue team supporting related syllabus delivery and working to close the digital skills gap.

Dan continued: ”Our focus is on taking care of our people, who then take care of our customers. It’s a model that has continuously delivered on and beyond our objectives and we pride ourselves on what we believe to be an unbeatable service model. With almost 100 per cent client retention in the last 15 years and a Net Promoter Score that consistently beats the industry average, the numbers speak for themselves!”
