Advice Cloud turns 4

That’s right it’s officially our 4th birthday and what a year it’s been…

First things first HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US! This past year we have gained new staff members, new advisers and most importantly a lot more clients. But we wouldn’t be where we are today without the vision and hard work of our MD Chris.

To celebrate this AC milestone, we wanted to take a minute to reflect on what has been a whirlwind of a year!

Adding some extra experience

We were thrilled to add to our already impressive line-up of Strategic Advisers, with the happy additions of:

Bill Mew – Social Media expert and content marketing whizz

Bill joined us to help our clients work on their public sector marketing and social media strategies to help them get gov’s attention and make those sales.

Paul Kennedy – Our new Blue Light Adviser

With Blue Light services spending £265m on G-Cloud and £18m on DOS, Paul’s 30 years of experience in the sector couldn’t be more welcome!

Rob Macleod – Former Category Lead for G-Cloud at Crown Commercial Service

Rob brings with him unbeatable insider framework knowledge and will be supporting our clients by helping them get to grips with all the framework has to offer.

Hi to the newbies

Recently we welcomed the lovely Hannah, Dan, Elliot (and very shortly Danny) to help us keep up with the growing demand for our services and support. To find out more about them check out their first week blogs ‘Another addition to our team: Hannah Wiggins’ and ‘Big welcome to Dan and Elliot!’.

Last February we were lucky enough to hire the wonderful Izzie, who in a short space of time excelled herself and gave brilliant service to our clients. Because of this she earnt herself a promotion and became our Client Delivery Executive. Go Izzie!

Frameworks, frameworks, and more frameworks!

This year we saw the decision to push back G-Cloud 10, and later DOS 3, promptly reversed… which meant all hands-on deck here at Advice Cloud. Of course, we managed to get all our clients over the line and successfully onto the frameworks. Even having time spare to learn all about brand-new tech framework Data and Application Solutions, as well as start gearing up for Network Services 2.

Our year in stats:

• We have now successfully listed 164 clients over all the frameworks we work on
• £162m+ cumulative business has been won by our clients on all frameworks
• 65% of our fab clients are SMEs
• We now have 5 great consultants working with our clients with unique experience across many sectors
• Our team has nearly doubled in size and we can’t wait to help even more companies sell to the public sector

So, another year older and wiser, we can’t wait to see what the next year has in store for us!
