A TECHNOLOGY solutions company is on the lookout for new staff just weeks after its official launch.

Centatek, based at Padiham, is recruiting technicians and office staff to help cope with the growing demands for its IT services.

Director Karen Webster said the business was one of only a handful in the North West to receive the prestigious Microsoft Certified Partner accreditation.

"The success of the new business, within weeks of the official opening, has taken everyone completely by surprise," she said.

"But with the unexpected amount of work we have taken on, the existing team has very quickly reached the stage of having to put in extra hours to meet the strict deadlines that the industry requires.

"We are hoping to attract a number of applications from the local area, from ambitious individuals who believe they can provide the highest levels of customer service in a fast-moving and exciting industry."

Centatek provides a range of fully-integrated technology solutions for small businesses and also offers a drop-in service for home PC users.
