Darlington IT firm celebrates expansion plans and relocation

An IT management company has hailed its recent expansion as a major step forward.

Resilient Business Systems, based at Business Central in Darlington, has upgraded from the business centre’s co-working lounge to take on a fixed office space instead.

Established in 2005, Resilient Business Systems - which is also the official IT partner of Business Central - is run by husband and wife duo, Andrew and Michelle Read.

The firm provides IT support to a variety of SMEs in the region and beyond.

Now with a total of four members of staff on board, Andrew felt it was time to expand the business in a familiar environment and capitalise on Darlington’s current economic climate.

He said: “The office move was born out of necessity. We needed more room to house our staff.

“And having been part of the co-working lounge at Business Central, we were already aware of the great family feel within the centre and we’re confident it’s the right place to base ourselves and grow further.

“Additionally, with the regeneration taking place in Darlington, I feel we have a great opportunity to succeed. The business sector in Darlington is buoyant at the moment and a lot of small businesses are benefiting from the town’s regeneration.”

On the back of Resilient Business Systems’ growth, Andrew has taken a new approach to how they will operate on the back of the expansion.

He added: “We’d like to think that the expansion will allow us to recruit additional members of staff as we attract more clients, but the initial goal is to carry on doing what we’re doing.

“The focus has to be on maintaining the strong relationships we have built with our clients and to continue enjoying the work we do, and - all being well - we can then look at taking on extra office space within Business Central.”
