Reece Donovan, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"Today we outline the start of a new chapter for iomart, building on the strengths of our current business model. Our customers expect highly reliable connectivity and infrastructure services, and a seamless user journey across all platforms. They are looking for the support to protect their information and that of their customers. We have the infrastructure, expertise and track record to meet those expectations and guide businesses as they prepare to adapt to new ways of working now and in the future.

"The future of work has shifted in light of the global pandemic with a sharp increase in combined remote and in-office working practices being adopted throughout the UK market and beyond. We believe we are in a fantastic position to support these accelerating trends by building on our proven delivery model and further augmenting our offering with additional focus on the tools and services required for businesses to connect, secure and scale operations in the new hybrid working environment.

"We have identified a significant market opportunity, growing our propositions in hybrid cloud, security, the Digital Workplace and connectivity. With a clear strategic route-map in place for future growth, I am confident in our ability to capture the opportunity ahead."
