As of April 15th 2019, we changed our company name from EAS Cloud Services to nimbus digital and technology innovations. We are now known as nimbus, and we are very excited to launch our new brand.
Since the incorporation of the company in March 1997 we have had a few name changes, each reflective of our position at the time. In 1997, I was an IT specialist providing bespoke developments for my customers. Fast forward 22 years and the company comprises around 80 IT professionals engaged in helping our customers solve complex business problems using the latest digital and technology solutions.
During the last 2 years, the company has seen the biggest growth in its history. We have quadrupled our permanent employee base and tripled our office space. We have branched out, now we still provide the services of IT professionals, but we also provide modern, end-to-end digital and technology services using agile delivery techniques.
I am very proud that as part of our growth we have significantly invested in young talent, including undergraduates, graduates and the launch of our apprenticeship programme, which has seen us take on 4 apprentices across our business. I look forward to seeing the development of our young talent as we continue to grow.
Our growth has also required us to expand our senior team, which benefits both our staff and customers. I recently appointed 2 experienced directors to ensure providing digital and technology innovations remains at the heart of what we do. These appointments will allow us to continue to focus on providing the best value to our customers and ensure all our services are delivered to the highest standard.
As a growing SME based in the West Midlands our company culture, values and mission remain the same. Our mission is to deliver industry-leading digital and technology innovations that empower our customers, and our vision is to be reliable, trusted and the valued innovation partner of choice. We do all this in a work place with family principles at its core.
This is the start of the next chapter and everybody at nimbus is looking forward to an exciting future as we continue to work with our staff and customers to provide leading digital and technology innovations.
