Primoit: Primo IT outlines expansion plans; launches campaign to get local businesses working together

Primo IT has expanding its Shepshed base by moving its head offices from Ibstock to be closer to its High Street store.The move took place in April and is hoped to make it easier for Primo IT to meet the logistical demands of their customers.With the bigger Shepshed office, Primo IT also hopes to increase its staff capacity and offer more services to clients."Shepshed is where we started. The right premises became available when we were looking back in November/December, which is when we put plans in place to move back here," said Primo IT managing director Mick Sloan."We put in a lot of work for the new offices, as the building was a blank shell when we started. I think both being located in the same town, logistically, will be easier for us and we can sort anything in a short space of time."We also have plans moving forward to speak to local businesses along the same lines to the shop local for the consumer to see if we can offer a good way of them buying locally, distributing out so they can get deliveries the next day."In addition to moving back to Shepshed, Sloan is hoping to enhance the local business community. To coincide with Primo IT's office move, the firm is launching the Shepshed Shop Local Campaign in order to encourage businesses in the area to use each other's products and services.Sloan hopes that this campaign will create a thriving business community within Shepshed, made up of a variety of businesses each supporting each other and helping the area as a whole to grow."The Shepshed Local Campaign is an idea I've been looking at for a long time and it's a great idea which we can now start rolling out to the business community," explained Sloan."We really want to encourage local businesses to buy locally and support one another because then we can all grow and benefit from a tight network. It'll also be really beneficial for the local Shepshed economy too, especially if we all work together."Find out more at www.primoit.co.uk.
