Headcount: 58 (+164%)
Specialism: Managed IT services
HQ: Leeds
The MD of this Leeds-based managed IT services specialist chalks up its swift growth to the quality of service it has been able to retain by resisting the urge to take on outside investment.
The Dell, Microsoft, Cisco, Microsoft and Fortinet partner’s average monthly headcount rose steadily from 22 to 58 between its fiscal 2020 and 2023, accounts show.
A Microsoft Azure migration with Wakefield-based legal services provider Minster Law is among the case studies trumpeted on its website.
Q&A with Jungle IT MD Jonathan Asquith
You’re one of the UK’s fastest growing IT solutions providers by headcount. What would you attribute that to?
Quality of our managed services is everything. We’ve resisted the urge to seek investment due the risk of jeopardising the quality of service.
What’s your biggest growth bet for 2025?
Always security! SMEs need to focus on providing a compliant supply chain to their clients. ‘All-inclusive’ predictable cost per user will continue to develop, and a growing awareness in our clients for sustainable solutions.
What’s been your biggest tech let down of the last 12 months?
Not necessarily a let down, but AI hasn’t quite reached its potential yet. Clients know they need it, but due to poor user cases, and a lack of clarity it’s often difficult for IT to articulate the benefits. It’s coming though..!
Name one thing your company has planned for the next 12 months
Lots of things! The priority for us to continue to build on our team, their engagement, and their development.
We’re expected to be awarded with ‘Investors in people’ this year.
