Brighton Marathon 2010 Switch2IT Success
Our very own David Cato set his sights on the marathon back before christmas 2009 and commenced training in the harsh winter snow in Suffolk on boxing day. Not only did he shift those christmas turkey calories but he completed the race, in a great time of 4:06:34 with an ethusiastic finish.
Our congratulations to him and in recognition of this great achievement Switch2IT are donating £500 to the charity Ovacome.
Ovacome helps women affected by Ovarian cancer, their families and friends. Ovacome is a charity founded on personal experience. The founder was herself an ovarian cancer sufferer and wanted other women to be able to access clear, reliable information, support and advice. The work they do today still reflects her vision.

Switch2IT Growth Continues
Organic growth along with an expanding client base has resulted in a number of new services being developed around client requests. Referral clients are also finding dissatisfaction with existing providers, including major players who offer superb marketing but lack the levels of service and focus that Switch2IT offer.
Director Daniel Piggott said "We would like to thank our clients for their support, recommending us to other clients and hope we have exceeded their expectations of what an Outsourced IT offering can bring to their business."
"This growth has highlighted the benefits of taking on support contracts in the current economic climate. It aids clients with cashflow, holds prices and ensures that they have the regular support when it is needed the most in their business, without having to worry about the cost impact of downtime."
