Salford IT firm marks 20th anniversary with £5.5m contract wins

IT services firm LIMA is marking its 20th year in business with a raft of new contract wins worth over £5.5m.

The Salford-based company’s recent IT infrastructure and support appointments include work with Southway Housing Trust, Hertfordshire Police, JMW Solicitors and the Midlands and Lancashire Support Unit.

The contracts put LIMA a step closer to achieving its growth plan of turning over more than £20m, and employing at least 100 people, by 2020.

Today, the firm employs a team of 65 and provides data centre, cloud and managed services, in addition to security and performance monitoring.

Lisa Thornton, chief exec of LIMA, said: “For the past 20 years, we have been at the forefront of adopting and understanding technology and how intelligent IT can transform businesses.

“Our tailored, customer centric approach to IT is unique in the marketplace and our continued success is testament to how we work hard to understand a client’s challenges or objectives.”

She added: “A one size fits all approach is not our style and ultimately doesn’t deliver results.”

Lisa founded the business in 1997 with Paul Almond, who is CEO of sister company DataCentre UK.

Speaking further, Lisa commented: “Being in a male dominated industry has had its challenges over the years, however you win respect through results and hard work.

“Building a talented team of wonderful people has been my greatest business achievement so far. Our senior management and staff all share my passion to provide an exceptional level of service.”
