Fusion’s spark burns bright as IT firm targets £2m turnover in milestone birthday year

An IT specialist has entered its 15th year of business by celebrating a 20 per cent increase in sales, a new contract win and a forecasted multi-million pound turnover.

Founded by IT expert, Jamie Watson, the managing director has spearheaded the development of Yorkshire-based Fusion to offer IT support to UK and international clients – with a particular focus on the legal sector.

As the company celebrates its 15th birthday, Fusion has been enjoying a purple patch following the appointment of 12 new recruits, the development of its cloud-based solutions and a projected turnover for 2017/18 of £1.92 million – a 20 per cent increase on 2016/17.

The Brighouse-based team in Birds Royd Lane has also won a contract with award-winning legal firm, Ramsdens Solicitors, to install a secure IT platform and upgrade its telephone system at its new offices in York.

“I am incredibly happy with the growth, acquisitions and developments we’ve made as a business and how we’ve strengthened the Fusion team. I feel proud to mark our 15th birthday and am excited for the future plans we have in place to see Fusion enhance its client services and product offerings even further,” said Jamie.

Fusion’s 30-strong workforce now includes Ian Eskriett as Technical Team Leader. Ian joined the company in February and brings with him experience from RBS, ComB and Provident Finance.

Shakeel Sadiq is another addition to the team, coming in as Software Developer to head up the client portal project side of MatterSphere 3E – a robust client and matter management system used by several legal firms globally and originally launched by Thomas Reuters Elite.

Fusion – which is the biggest MatterSphere consultancy practice outside of its US partner, technology solutions business Thomas Reuters Elite, also helps develop MatterSphere software for law firms in the UK.
