UK HQ: Sheffield
This Dublin-headquartered managed IT ace is still searching for a UK acquisition (having earmarked £15m for expansion of its business on this side of the Irish Sea in 2022), newly promoted CEO Patrick Jordan confirmed (see Q&A, below).
Auxilion’s average monthly UK headcount rose from 77 to 125 between calendar 2020 and 2023, UK accounts show. Its current UK headcount stands at 137, it told us.
The HPE partner is looking to create another 30 jobs in the UK and Ireland over the course of 2025 as it pushes on with the “next stage of growth”.
Q&A with Auxilion CEO Patrick Jordan
You’re one of the UK’s fastest growing IT solutions providers by headcount. What would you attribute that to?
Value and delivering on outcomes. We have always backed ourselves i.e. we know our history, our capabilities and our value, and we’ve consistently proved it to customers too. Additionally, we’ve remained committed to investing in our service, people and pipeline.
What’s your biggest growth bet for 2025?
Our IT consulting business is increasingly a gateway for IT managed services. As companies grapple with emerging technologies (including AI), digital transformation and broader change programmes, our IT consulting business is supporting businesses as they unlock the potential of their IT strategies and investments.
What’s been your biggest tech let down of the last 12 months?
Less a ‘let down’ and more of a distraction has been AI. It’s distracted some people from focusing on the goal or strategic objective, believing instead that AI will be a panacea. To be clear, AI is a disruptor and a game-changer but great AI will come with great responsibility for businesses to understand how it translates and delivers on the overall business strategy
Name one thing your company has planned for the next 12 months
We’re busy helping our clients in new areas as they look to roll out their own plans and this is driving our focus on investment. Overall, we are still on the market to acquire a company to strengthen our proposition but finding a company with an aligned culture, capabilities and customer focus can take time.
