“Increasingly, our customers are working with us on a strategic level throughout their business and not just our strength in development.

“As our team grows from 80 to our target of 100 over the next six months, this will give us the ability to impact a client’s bottom line quicker and more effectively than ever before, ensuring that our clients still get the service level they have come to expect.”

Managing director Dave Beswick added: “We’ve already made leaps and bounds into being able to offer a true enterprise solution – we have the warts-and-all experience over several years working at the cutting edge of technology, but this investment puts us on a path to supplementing this experience and increasing the capabilities of a skilled workforce.”

Back in January 2015, CTI was acquired by global marketing services company, Paperhat Group, in a multi-million pound deal. It has since grown turnover to over £5m.
