15-year-old SICL eyes growth

Cisco reseller wants to double revenues within two years

Fox: we haven't ruled out acquisitions

Cisco Silver partner SICL has set itself a £10m revenue goal after celebrating 15 years in business.

The Leeds-based reseller is in the process of hiring several new staff to boost its data centre credentials, and has already taken on an eleven-year CCIE veteran.

A music fundraising event for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance was held to mark its anniversary on 8 January.

Cliff Fox, managing director at the Cisco, Riverbed and Microsoft partner SICL, said: “We have doubled the size of the business to £5m inside three years and want to do that again in two.

“We have a business strategy to get us there without acquisitions but we haven’t ruled that out as a possibility, especially if it adds in some sensible diversification.”

Fox said the new hires will allow it to establish a Cisco data centre practice, in line with some of the larger Cisco Gold partners.
