Irish IT solutions distributor, DataSolutions, announced yesterday that they are investing £3.8 million in the company over the next three years with 20 jobs planned.

This will include expanding into the UK with a new office in Theale, Reading. They also plan to triple their business over the next three years to £60 million turnover on the back of this investment.
 
The company specialises in next generation data centres, security and unified communications. They have achieved steady year-on-year growth over the past 25 years in the UK and Ireland and will hire 10 new positions in its Reading office by 2018 to coincide with the expansion. 

It expects its UK operations to grow to the same size as its Irish business by then, targeting £30 million in revenues in Ireland in the same year.

As part of this expansion they have appointed Sean Fane as UK managing director for the company. Sean brings more than 20 years’ sales and business experience in the UK, including an executive role at IQ-Sys, the leading UK distributor in the virtualisation market.
 
Group managing director at DataSolutions, Michael O’Hara says, "We’ve achieved exponential growth for our vendors in the Irish market over the past few years through a strong, value-based business model and this approach in the UK market will deliver strong results.  

"We look forward to enabling resellers to take advantage of the opportunities with this fast-growing technology and bolstering our UK presence with Nutanix."
