Iconsys, the provider and systems integrator of power and automation solutions, has opened its first Scottish office in Lanarkshire.

The move to open an office at the Regus Eurocentral site, which has been made in a bid to both increase market share in Scotland and attract new engineers, follows a record year for the firm.

Iconsys, whose headquarters is in Telford in Shropshire, England, saw a turnover of around £14.5m by the end of the 2024 financial year. It had a £5 million increase in sales thanks to numerous new contract wins in industries including energy, maritime, transportation, and consumer goods, among others.

In addition to the new Scottish office, the firm has also recently appointed Chris McComb to head up its Scottish operations. McComb has previously worked for companies such as Siemens, Booth Welsh, and iTech.

Iconsys’ staff numbers have increased to over 80 in 2024, and a drive to recruit 15 more engineers and support personnel is also currently in progress.

Speaking on the new Lanarkshire office and the firm’s recent growth, managing director of Iconsys, Nick Darrall, said: “Our Scottish office, which is ideally located between Edinburgh and Glasgow, offers greater flexibility for our Northern clients and allows for a more engaging experience for our existing staff living in and around Lanarkshire.

“It also opens up the talent pool to boost our growing team of ‘best in class’ engineers.

“Sales have rocketed towards £15m and our pipeline is looking very healthy for the next twelve months.”

“Some of the decisions we have taken over the last two years have been pivotal to our expansion and have laid the foundations for the next phase,” added Darrall.
