Cambridge Online expands its workforce to capitalise on growth opportunities
Cambridge Online recruits eight new employees in 2011
Cambridge Online has today announced that it has welcomed eight new employees to the company since the start of 2011 with new recruits joining across its business. The company has strengthened its customer help desk team with three new staff members as demand for specialist IT customer support continues to grow. Two new sales executives have joined the company to further build its sales channels. It has also recruited a new implementation manager to help deliver new customer projects.
Throughout the downturn, Cambridge Online has maintained high levels of staff retention and has recruited steadily during the period. The business has also supported apprentice schemes through a partnership with Cambridge Regional College, providing an apprentice opportunity for young college-leaver.
The business has also welcomed the appointment of David Crabb as its new managing director who joined Cambridge Online in May this year. David brings experience in delivering change management programmes and identifying and developing talent, and the business has embarked on a programme to encourage greater working across different functions and divisions to deliver a wider range of IT solutions to customers.
Cambridge Online, which celebrates 30 years at Cambridge Science Park in 2012, has also benefited from a re-fresh of its company logo and a new web site to ensure customers and prospects alike understand what the company has to offer. The company has always been a strong supporter of its local community, and is looking to build its first corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme to formalise its commitment across a range of CSR values.
Ray Olds, chief executive officer, Cambridge Online, commented:
“We are delighted to welcome new employees to our business – we believe now is the time to invest as we begin to see market growth and optimism return. With our internal changes, we have made our business even more flexible and responsive to the needs of our customers. We want to do as much as we can to support our communities and activities such as apprenticeship schemes and building our CSR programme provide a great start for us.”
