A LEADING IT and telecoms provider has become a platinum business partner of Dorset Chamber.

ITCS provides services for customers across the country, and recently acquired Dorchester-based Poundbury Systems as it grows.

The chamber’s business partner programme is for members that wish to make a greater contribution to the organisation and the community.

The business has been the chamber’s business partner for telecoms and technology but has now become a platinum partner as it celebrates its 75th anniversary.

Dorset Chamber chief executive Ian Girling said: “It is a tremendous coup to welcome ITCS as a platinum business partner.

“They are a leading national IT and telecoms provider with a local office which has built an excellent reputation over many years.

“We look forward to developing a strong and valuable relationship with ITCS to help further raise its profile while supporting the business community and growth of the local economy.”

ITCS is based in Bridgend, South Wales, with offices in London, the sough west and the midlands.

Managing director Brian Stokes said: “ITCS and Dorset Chamber are likeminded organisations with a commitment to excellence, innovation and the highest quality service.

“This is an exciting time to become a platinum business partner with the addition of Poundbury Systems to the ITCS group.

“We are all looking forward enthusiastically to embracing our role and working more closely with the chamber team and fellow members.

“This strategic expansion enables us to offer a comprehensive range of IT and telecoms services, including business IT support, cyber security, superfast broadband, software development and web design, with digital marketing, SEO and PPC.

“These services are tailored to meet the specific needs of businesses in the region, where we look forward to building lasting relationships and contributing to the economic development of Dorset."

Dorset Chamber has nearly 700 members, representing 37,000 employees.

It is the only chamber in the county accredited to the British Chambers of Commerce, with a vision statement of ‘enabling better lives through business’.

ITCS is one of 21 platinum business partners, with two premier businesses in the chamber and a range of membership tiers from entry level through to associate.
