Telecoms firm sets sights on growth

A telecommunications company is expanding - after landing several new contracts and moving to new premises.

G Comms, a member of the Sutton Coldfield Chamber of Commerce, has secured a series of new contracts with major mobile operators, which has necessitated its move to a new unit in Coleshill.

The firm specialises in providing products and logistics to the UK installer market, so the move has created room for a new technical build area and a dedicated fibre/cable assembly space.

As a result, G Comms is now recruiting more staff locally as well as making internal promotions.

Managing director Claire Greenwood (pictured) said: “With the expansion of the business, we are consistently recruiting new staff locally but it has also meant that we can promote from within.

“This has been really exciting for us as we 've seen people who started with us from years ago move into more senior management positions. ”

G Comms is also looking to obtain the Coventry Green Grant - a funding grant to help make the business and premises more sustainable.

If successful, the company plans to turn to renewable energy by installing solar panels.

Claire added: “Being 'green ' is ingrained in the way we work, it 's even one of our five main values.

“Making sure we are a sustainable and eco-friendly business has always been important to us and we continuously look for ways to be greener.

“Applying for the green grant is just one of the ways in which we are trying to reduce our environmental impact. ”
