Elite Telecom in LDP top 100 companies
Elite Telecom is going places as it has made the Liverpool Daily Post top 100 companies list
“People tell us that the sky’s the limit – but, then we ask, why are there footsteps on the moon?”
 
That’s the question post by St.Helens-based Elite Telecom, which has followed last year’s growth of 33% with a jump in turnover of 63%, to £11.1m.
 
The firm won the small business of the year award at the Liverpool Daily Post’s regional business awards in June 2009
 
Providing tailored telecoms solutions for all manner of business needs, Elite Telecom has expanded rapidly since its inception in 2001, enjoying an increased turnover and pre-tax profit for five consecutive years.
 
It is unashamedly ambitious firm – embodied by chief executive and founder Matt Newing, who said: If we are not growing, there is no point getting out of bed”.
 
Growth has been helped by acquisitions, with the purchase of Rochdale-based GP Telecom a factor in this latest leap in its sales.
 
“Elite has worked hard over the past few years to build a strong offering in the marketplace with a uniquely large range of services,” added Mr Newing. “This puts us in good stead in the current economic climate and has enabled us to become one of the companies eating, rather than being eaten”.
 
And Elite is still hungry. In December, it bought CAN Networks, a Dorset-based firm, which is forecast to add revenues of £8.5m over the next five years.
