During this crisis, many office-based employees have had to become remote workers almost overnight and especially so now that confinement restrictions are in place across the UK. Let’s call them accidental homeworkers – and in a similar way to accidental landlords, COVID-19 homeworking comes with pros and cons!

As well as bringing up challenges for users such as how to juggle children, meals, and work and home life, remote working brings new challenges such as security risks and productivity challenges for IT departments. And apparently, just because there’s a global health crisis in operation, cyber criminals are still as ruthless as ever, as proven by a number of hospitals in Paris being recently hit by a DDoS attack.

The expert team at Complete IT Systems are publishing a series of guidance and tips to help you and your business through this situation. This will cover all aspects of quickly providing safe, comfortable and efficient home offices for your users, including data security, collaboration tools, laptops, desktops, print and consumables, support for critical IT tasks, and more.

Complete IT Systems is proud to announce that we have been named in Bradford’s Top 50 SMEs 2019!

The annual awards are judged by BHP Clough & Company Chartered Accountants in conjunction with the Telegraph and Argus, and aim to put the spotlight on the vital role small and medium sized firms play both in the local area and nationally.

Included in the ranking of the awards are each firm’s profits, turnover and contribution to local employment.

Writing in the Telegraph & Argus, Nigel Bullas, managing partner of BHP’s Bradford office, said: “Strong, resilient, innovative and entrepreneurial’ – small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the region have once again shown the way with a year of outstanding performance.”

Paul Spence, Managing Director at Complete IT Systems had this to say about the award. “It’s a great honour to be selected into the top 50 SMEs in the region, and I think it reflects the work we do in our daily business but in the contribution we try to make to the community as a whole. We’re a big part of Bradford’s business scene, having sponsored Bradford City FC, been crowned the Fastest growing Midsize Business in Yorkshire and played a local role in Chamber of Commerce activities. We also love to support school initiatives and the ‘One in a Million’ childrens’ charity”.

“On a national level we are also proud to have been recognised by the London Stock Exchange Group as one of the 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain. This recognised Complete IT Systems’ role in generating net new employment and in making a dynamic contribution to the overall positive influence of SMEs on the country’s economy”.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our customers, staff and vendors for their part in our recognition, and we’re very much looking forward to an even brighter future.”
