Simon Fieldhouse, Group CEO, said, “The team at Bates IT is a great cultural fit with ITM. Their highly developed specialist experience with long-established customer engagements in the healthcare sector opens exciting growth opportunities for the business. This aligns with our intended development of a specialist healthcare practice within a nationwide critical network and ICT infrastructure service business, delivering an extended managed service portfolio to our customers. Importantly, the companies also share Bates IT and ITM Communications share a customer-centric focus on service delivery and are equally dedicated to their staff, investment in sustainability and compliance”.
