Imerja on track for 'record' year

Bolton-based services specialist sees 60 per cent H1 revenue spike, and boasts a business pipeline beyond 2020

VAR Imerja is celebrating a record half-year trading, with revenues up more than 60 per cent on last year.

The security services specialist has revealed it has a solid pipeline in place for the remainder of the year, meaning it can smash its target of £9m for the 2014/15 financial year.

It puts its success down to a growing portfolio of annuity customers, supported by its accredited 24/7 operations centre, which means it has forward revenues secured through to 2020 and beyond.

The firm has more than 50 staff spread across three locations, and recently celebrated its 10th birthday.

It is an established provider to the public sector and is seeing particular success in video-as-a-service.

Ian Jackson (pictured), managing director and co-founder of the firm, said: “It is extremely satisfying to see such strong and sustainable growth resulting from our long-term strategy for inward investment.

“We want to be a company that makes a difference. Our strong in-house capabilities are underpinned by high levels of accreditation and secure 24/7 operations, and from our headquarters in Bolton we deliver critical solutions to a large number of government, healthcare and blue-light services each year.”

He added: “Our focus on achieving accreditation to HMG OFFICIAL across our core services will ensure we are able to continue to provide robust and accredited services to the public sector for the foreseeable future.”
