A leading Ashby-based property consultancy has expanded its IT team - as it increasingly looks to offer cutting-edge solutions for its clients.

Fisher German has added five new members of staff after the recent promotion of five others, including Neil Jones to Head of IT Infrastructure and Service Operations.

Joining the team are Craig Sharpe and Nathan Robbins, who both join as Systems Support Engineers, Hugh Gilmore who joins as a Junior Project Manager, Emmanuel Isitor who joins as Database Administrator, and Anthony Benskin who becomes Head of Change.

These follow the promotions of Liam Morton to Service Desk Manager, Charlie Pook to Systems Administrator, Daniel Baldwin to Software Development Manager, and Brian Shaw to Systems Administrator.

Fisher German says it has been able to grow its team and promote internally, in part due to an increased requirement from its clients to work more collaboratively across all facets of a project – which often involves integrating how they capture and process data.

Neil, who started working at Fisher German in 2006, said: "I'm really pleased that the IT team has been able to grow organically following my colleagues being rewarded with promotions for their excellent work.

"Fisher German has always looked to proactively invest in IT and its team in order to deliver the best service for its clients, which has resulted in the team needing to expand due to increased demand.

"Our clients are increasingly looking to integrate their own systems with Fisher German so they can work seamlessly on key projects, and our team ensures bespoke IT solutions are created to make this happen.

"Instead of just recommending software that can be bought on the market, we work closely with our clients to tailor-make a solution that gives them exactly what they need.

"We also want to be leading the way in business intelligence and analysing the data we gather in the right way, not only for Fisher German's benefit, but our clients' too.

"We expect this kind of work to only increase into the future, which means we need the right people in place to deliver the solutions our clients expect from us."

While Fisher German has added to its IT team recently, with the expected increase in workload, the company says further expansions are likely in the near future.

Neil added: "Now Fisher German has grown to a record size, there's real scope for talented, ambitious IT professionals to join the firm and progress their career in-house.

"We're expecting that many of our IT team will become specialists in particular software or solutions as we continue to grow, without them losing that general level of expertise.

"It's a really exciting time to be working for Fisher German in IT, and I'm intrigued to see how much we will evolve in the coming years."

Carl Stirland, IT Director at Fisher German, added: "Fisher German provides an excellent working environment that promotes and fosters personal development and community spirit.

"These are excellent appointments following well-deserved promotions, and I am immensely proud and thankful of all who have contributed to the incredible growth of the IT team."
