Pinnacle Embarks on Growth Venture in South of England

Pinnacle Computing has continued its investment in expansion, opening a new Hampshire facility, becoming the first Sage business partner to offer clients across the UK and Ireland seamless Sage support. "The Hampshire office represents a significant investment demonstrating our commitment to our clients," explained James Spencer, Pinnacle Computing managing director.

"We have become the fastest growing Sage business partner across the UK and Ireland by making strategic investments, which has enabled our specialist consultants to develop and deliver Sage based solutions locally. Our customers demand local proactive support and account management and that's exactly what we deliver. Our locally based teams can also draw from our extensive pool of specialist knowledge from right across the company. Quite simply, Pinnacle offers its customers the best of both worlds - local presence with countrywide support," he said. With offices in Belfast, Dublin, Glasgow, Hull, Liverpool and Hampshire, Pinnacle now supports over 450 Sage client sites across the UK and Ireland, and is aiming for further expansion.

"We believe that by continuing to invest our time and considerable resources in developing and nurturing relationships with our clients on a local level, we will continue to expand and grow our customer base", Mr Spencer concluded.
