Lister IT Services revenue increases by 33%

It's been another hectic year for our IT team who have now recorded back-to-back years of revenue growth in excess of 30%, which we are really thrilled to be able to report. Well done team!

The key drivers for this growth have been Cyber Security and the continued shift towards fixed price Managed Services and Support Contracts. 

No doubt for many of you, the ‘screen-savers’ come on when another article warns of another invisible threat and will cost you money one way or another and Cyber Security may well be of those subjects to you. But it is real and the statistics are staggering, just look them up for yourselves, you may well have friends who have been ‘hacked’ either personally or through their business who will attribute it as no joke. 

With AI accelerating into our lives, AI-driven cyber threats are accelerating too - so hoping you are not important enough to be targeted is not a business strategy anymore.

Andy Wood, who leads the IT Team, said: "We are providing a mix of answers including securing your digital infrastructures, helping with ISO2701 and Cyber Essentials certification, tailored cyber security solutions, phishing tests as well as good old-fashioned support and advice, and do our best talk to you in anormal ‘non-techy’ way. 

"Here are some of the ways we work with you: strengthening your digital defences, upgrading and keep your licensing up-to-date so you get latest security features that keep your files and emails safe, automatically blocking suspicious login attempts, especially from high-risk regions, setting-up instant alerts when something doesn't look right with your accounts.

"We are pleased also to further expand our team with Will Gray (pictured above) and George Bennett, both new graduates in IT Security, joining us to bolster our skills and we continue to invest in the skills of our existing team in this area too. We also regularly send out phishing test emails to the company staff in general, and it is revealing indeed as to who falls for them and when, often the busiest staff at their busiest times."
