Some of its current customers include Aberdeenshire Council, Albert Bartlett, Dundee City Council, Shell, Capita, West Yorkshire Combined Authority, and the University of Dundee.

 “Brightsolid works in collaboration with customers to create unique cloud solutions that are tailored to each organisation. We don’t do one-size-fits-all,” chief commercial officer Alan Gardiner said.

“It starts with our dedicated tier III designed data centres, ensuring our clients’ critical IT infrastructure is secure, while providing industry-leading accessibility, scalability and connectivity. As one of the UK’s foremost hybrid cloud experts, we also help hundreds of organisations unlock the power, flexibility and cost-effectiveness of cloud.

“And with security at the top of most people’s agendas these days, we deliver some of the UK’s best MDR, SOC and BaaS services at affordable prices.

“While Brightsolid is already recognised as one of Scotland’s leading cloud services providers, the new Manchester office will be seeking to work with public and private sector organisations across the north of England, while also spearheading the expansion of our service offering across the UK.”
