We are delighted to announce that Microtech Group has appointed three new members to join the Board of Directors, Paul Mathewson (Group Technical Director), Anne Young (Financial Director) and Nick Fernando (Commercial Director).
Microtech transitioned to an Employee Ownership Trust [EOT] in 2021, declining many competitive offers in order to secure the continued operation of the business in Scotland, and maintain job security for employees.
Following on from the Employee Ownership transition, Microtech has appointed Paul Mathewson, Anne Young and Nick Fernando to manage, coordinate and supervise the business activities of the company, with Chris McMail maintaining his position as Managing Director.
Microtech started out in 1986 as a professional IT Support and Maintenance company based in the West of Scotland and now has an extensive customer and contracts base, including a long-standing partnership with NHS Scotland.
With sustained and continuous growth, Microtech is one of the largest Professional IT Support and Maintenance Companies in Scotland, with over 40-staff, including a full-time fully staffed service desk with field engineers based throughout Scotland and the UK.
Following the EOT transition, Microtech has great ambitions for 2022/2023, developing innovative solutions and technology for IT Support and Healthcare while continuing to provide excellent value and support to customers.
“I am delighted to have been asked to join the Board of Directors at Microtech Group.
This is such an exciting period for the team of employees as we transition to an Employee Ownership Trust [EOT].
Myself, along with the Board of Directors will now be a part of the development and the future success of the organisation, where we will have a real sense of ownership and accountability in how the company evolves.
I look forward to working closely with the trustees and hope we can continue to grow and develop Microtech - building on the successful brand that Chris McMail (Managing Director) has created, and heavily invested his time in over the last 35 years.”
