Former charity and Brighton and Hove Albion FC IT expert joins Burgess Hill company

Simon Gregg has joined Station Road firm Extech Cloud. In his role he will be driving new client acquisition and creating new relationships, contributing to the company’s growth and acquisition plans.

Simon will have a particular emphasis on developing engagements across the legal, manufacturing, service, logistics and recruitment sectors.

He will work with his new clients to improve where they are now with technology and provide them with a future-proofed technology road map. His aim is to develop lifetime value clients; continually working with them in partnership.

Director Andrew Hookway said he was thrilled to welcome Simon on board. He said: “We have known about Simon’s impressive track record for many years and I’m elated he’s finally joining the team in these exciting times.”

Extech Cloud said it took the decision to refocus its business model and is now positioned as a market leader in Sussex and beyond.

Having developed the Extech Cloud Methodology, the service digitally transforms organisations by transitioning them to the public cloud, a form of cloud computing. The company says this can save between 20-50 per cent in costs and reduce the number of employees who say IT negatively affects their day-to-day work.

It adds the process runs through seven different stages, which allows Extech Cloud to revolutionise its client’s IT infrastructure to a modern and innovative technology platform. To date the firm has successfully delivered over 100 cloud migrations of this type.

Simon, 46, said: “Good business relationships are really important, I always aim for long term partnerships.”

He has known director, Andrew Hookway, for several years and added: “Extech Cloud has always had a different offering to its competitors which has further developed over the last three years. It partners with clients to add real value, which I find very exciting and it’s a very welcoming environment.”
