Ipswich Computers marks its next chapter with new leadership appointment

Ipswich Computers has promoted Craig Starling to Director after six years with the company. The appointment comes as the local IT service provider looks to expand its operations in Suffolk.

The big picture: Founded in 1998, Ipswich Computers provides IT services to businesses in Suffolk.

The company is proud to have maintained many customers from its inception and uses a model of direct client-engineer relationships instead of ticketing systems to ensure that businesses receive "consistent, personalised support from professionals who understand their unique needs and become part of their team."

What they're saying: Tim Goulding, Founder and Managing Director of Ipswich Computers, was quick to sing Craig's praises: "Craig's promotion to Director reflects both his contributions to our company and his potential to drive us forward with new energy. His commitment to our clients, team, and values makes him the ideal person to help lead us as we continue to grow and innovate but without losing what we are all about."

Craig said, "After six years at Ipswich Computers, I have gained an understanding of our values, and the importance of the work we do. I'm passionate about our mission and excited about the opportunity to contribute to our next chapter of success as a director."

What's next: This appointment marks a significant moment for Ipswich Computers, which is looking to build on 26 years of service in Ipswich and expand its reach across the county.

The bottom line: As the company powers up for expansion, they're betting that Starling's appointment will help them click with even more local businesses.
