Dorset Chamber’s business partner programme is for members which wish to make a greater contribution to the organisation and the business community.
ITCS has become the business partner for telecoms and technology at the chamber, which is the county’s leading business support organisation.
Dorset Chamber chief executive Ian Girling said: “It is a tremendous coup to welcome ITCS as a platinum business partner.
“They are a leading national IT and telecoms provider with a local office which has built an excellent reputation over many years.
“We look forward to developing a strong and valuable relationship with ITCS to help further raise its profile while supporting the business community and growth of the local economy.”
ITCS becomes a platinum business partner as the chamber celebrates its 75th anniversary this year and as it looks ahead to its business festival in the autumn.
The company is based in Bridgend, South Wales, with offices in London, the South West and the Midlands.
It provides a comprehensive and flexible range of IT solutions to cover all of businesses’ requirements.
They include business IT support, cyber security, software and design, telecoms and broadband, structured networking and marketing and SEO.
Managing director Brian Stokes said: “ITCS and Dorset Chamber are likeminded organisations with a commitment to excellence, innovation and the highest quality service.
“This is an exciting time to become a platinum business partner with the addition of Poundbury Systems to the ITCS group.
“We are all looking forward enthusiastically to embracing our role and working more closely with the chamber team and fellow members.
“This strategic expansion enables us to offer a comprehensive range of IT and telecoms services, including business IT support, cyber security, superfast broadband, software development and web design, with digital marketing, SEO and PPC.
“These services are tailored to meet the specific needs of businesses in the region, where we look forward to building lasting relationships and contributing to the economic development of Dorset.”
Dorset Chamber, the county’s voice of business, has nearly 700 members representing 37,000 employees.
It is the only chamber in the county accredited to the British Chambers of Commerce. Dorset Chamber has a vision statement of ‘enabling better lives through business’.
