JMC Celebrate Red Nose Day with a Whole Week of Events

JMC, a leading IT Support Partner in the North of England has held an array of events for Red Nose Day – on Friday 18th March 2011 and throughout the week leading up to it.  JMC’s team of 78 raised just under £300; this goes towards the record breaking total of £74 million raised in total by Comic Relief to provide support to people in both the UK and across Africa.

Two team members were challenged to run a 5 kilometre route around the local area of North Manchester. Team JMC members, Karen and Paula completed the course in a fantastic time of 30 minutes and 26 seconds, absolutely smashing their target of 40 minutes.

Team JMC also participated in cupcake decorating, baked goods sale and a raffle to help raise as much money as possible for Comic Relief.

All staff participated in a “dress down week” donating 50 pence a day towards the Comic Relief to wear more casual clothes to work. This was a great success amongst workers and helped to get everyone in the spirit to donate more to the cause.

Andrew Burgess, Managing Director of JMC said: “The whole team has certainly gone all out to raise this impressive amount money for the causes brought to attention by the Comic Relief Charity both in the UK and in Africa, it pleases me that we have done our bit.”

Team JMC are no strangers when it comes to raising money for charity. In 2010 the team ran an impressive 487 miles and raised £572 as part of Sport Relief’s “Do A Mile” challenge week.

JMC is a leading IT support partner in the North of England. With an annual turnover of over £8million, the average client has worked with them for over 10 years and 94 per cent of clients would be happy to recommend its services to others.

As you would expect from a company of JMC’s calibre, it possesses a host of industry accreditations including Microsoft Gold Certified Partner with six Competencies, Cisco Premier Partner, Citrix Silver Solutions Network Member, Dell Enterprise Architecture Partner, and Pegasus Strategic Partner.

IT Support Partner JMC Secure Contract to Work with Online Wedding Specialists, Confetti

IT support partner JMC has recently acquired a contract to work with online wedding specialists, Confetti.

Recently saved from administration by George Buchan, Confetti, based in Chadderton, Oldham celebrated its 12th Anniversary on Valentine’s Day.

As part of the buy-out, Confetti’s IT infrastructure needed to be radically restructured.  JMC was the first choice for Confetti as it knew the team at JMC would go above and beyond to deliver the solution needed, and that was exactly what they did.  JMC’s expertise was enlisted to move the Confetti network to new premises along with its entire server population whilst delivering site to site and internet connectivity – all within 2-3 days of placing the order.  With the usual determined effort from the JMC team the project was delivered on time and with minimal disruption to the user population.

George Buchan, business owner commented:  “The most impressive aspect of the initial engagement was the speed of response, given that we had and immediate need to move offices within 6 working days of the acquisition.  In addition to this the JMC team had to deal with a highly complex IT infrastructure, spread over at least four locations, with very little reliable information regarding set-up or configuration. In short, the team did a great job in a very short timescale with little or no information regarding a complex geographically dispersed system.”

Since the initial project JMC has enabled Confetti to make further significant costs savings by relocating its data centre from London to Manchester and is already underway with further significant projects.

JMC is a leading IT support partner in the North of England. With an annual turnover of over £8million, the average client has worked with them for over 10 years and 94 per cent of clients would be happy to recommend its services to others.

JMC Makes Top Ten in the Sunday Times Top 100 Best Small Companies to Work For List

Leading IT support partner, JMC has been named 9th Best Small Company to Work For in the prestigious Sunday Times list.  The accolade comes during the company’s 30th anniversary year and represents its highest place in the Top 100 ranking since 2005.  JMC, which employs 75 people, was the only North West company to feature in the top ten.

This year, JMC beat 567 entrant organisations from across the UK to achieve its top ten position.  Feedback from more than 37,500 employees was evaluated to assess each organisation based on key statistics, processes and policies, making it the most comprehensive survey of its kind.

Each year, the number of companies competing for a place on the Sunday Times Top 100 list increases; this is due to its respected and revered status, making it more difficult to achieve a ranking.  Andrew Burgess, managing director, comments:“JMC is delighted to have been recognised for the seventh time and our top ten position is the icing on the cake for our 30th anniversary.  We are very proud of our company’s ethos and we place a high level of importance on providing a rewarding, healthy and enjoyable working environment.  Our employees have an average length of service of 10 years, which is well above our industry’s standard, and a rare quality that we strive to preserve. A place on the Sunday Times Best Places to Work list is a great indication that our efforts are working.”

The Sunday Times Best Small Companies to Work For survey uses a methodology designed exclusively for the British workplace. It identifies best practice defined by performance in eight key indicators of workplace engagement, covering staff opinions in their leadership, their manager, immediate colleagues, pay and benefits, wellbeing, the firm’s willingness to give something back, peoples personal development and overall sense of affiliation with their employers.

JMC is a leading IT support partner in the North of England. With an annual turnover of over £8million, the average client has worked with them for over 10 years and 94 per cent of clients would be happy to recommend its services to others.
