Wyre Solutions have appointed two new staff as it sets its sights on expansion into the US.

In a key managerial move, Michael J Giambra has been appointed as Chief Development Officer at Wyre Solutions LLC heralding company’s expansion to the United States. In the Kidderminster office, Frazer Doe has been promoted to the role of Operations Director where he will lead business development and client support.

Michael has worked in the IFS arena for over five years, mainly with North American clients and will be responsible for growing sales and developing Wyre Solutions footprint in the US. “I’m very enthusiastic about joining Wyre Solutions, being given the chance to continue the success and growth already accomplished over the past 7 years in Europe and bring it to North America, is a once in a lifetime opportunity”.

The two new appointments represent further investment by Managing Director, Paul Maybury who started the company in 2011. He has since expanded the consultancy taking the employed workforce to 17 in addition to many contractors, more than tripled turnover over the past three years, as well as setting up the new company in America. Plans are already underway to establish operations in Asia to better serve a growing global client base.

Due to Paul’s ongoing success, he has been nominated for EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2018 UK, which recognises his passion and commitment to the local economy and highlights his achievements since starting Wyre Solutions 7 years ago.

Paul said: We strive to deliver the best quality services and support to our clients, so to see how strong the impact on our investment has been tremendous. I am incredibly lucky to have attracted the right team to help us drive our plans forward and expand both in the UK and the US.

“Both Michael and Frazer’s expertise will be vital as we look to make further investments and improvements for our clients in the years ahead. It’s an exciting new chapter which will see us expand our worldwide footprint which already spans 700 locations, across 20 countries, on four continents.”

Paul added: “Our growing team, both here and overseas, demonstrate our commitment and determination to add more knowledge and experience to the business. I’m delighted to continue building our independent IFS portfolio of services, especially during such an exciting period of growth.

“We also offer an ideal training platform for young people in Worcestershire, providing them with valuable experience in problem-solving in the ever-changing world of IT.”

A key factor in Wyre Solutions success is its commitment to providing career development to all employees, from senior consultants to junior software developers. It supports young people into work already employing one graduate and two apprentices, with several more positions available.

Dedicated Office Aids Wyre Solutions Expansion

Almost 4 years to the day of inception, Wyre Solutions have expanded in to dedicated office space to facilitate the next phase in the evolution of the business and provision of  independent IFS consultancy services.

Managing Director, Paul Maybury explains;

“After setting up Wyre Solutions Limited as a one man consultancy business back in 2011, I am overwhelmed at how far we have come in such a short space of time. Moving forward, the office allows us to grow in three key areas detailed below, some of which has been driven by customer demand and will allow us to maintain our high standards in delivering independent IFS business solutions.”

Training and Workshop Facility – In the fast paced IFS market place we acknowledge how vital it is to keep up to date with the latest versions of the software and changes in functionality, we now have dedicated break out space to provide one-on-one and group training sessions for customers and staff.

Independent IFS Service Desk – Officially being launched in August, our service desk allows us to provide structured, technical and functional support for our customers on a flexible basis.

In addition to the post go-live support offerings we see increased demand for a fully outsourced day to day IFS support function, freeing up internal resource to carry out upgrades and system customisations, therefore up-skilling staff and keeping vital knowledge within the business.

Collaboration – The past 12 months has seen our business effectively transition from a group of consultants to an organised consultancy business. Being able to collaborate more easily with other team members and business partners not only allows us to share experience’s and problem solve it has created a fantastic environment to grow new talent with the Wyre Solutions ethos.
