Dealer hoping to raise revenue to £15 million and connection base to 15,000 with new office openings
Rainbow Communications is aiming to add an extra £1 million to its annual revenues and 2,000 new connections by opening new offices in the North West, Midlands and South West
The move, according to Rainbow head of mobile sales Paul Lawther, is designed to help achieve its ambitions of taking its base above 15,000 by the end of the year and revenues of £15 million.
The firm already has existing offices in Glasgow and Belfast, but has entered the final stages of opening new offices across three locations in the Midlands, South West and North West.
Lawther told Mobile News each office will include separate business development teams made up of five employees each. This is part of a recruitment drive which will see Rainbow’s total staff numbers grow from 120 to 135 once finished.
“There’s a large concentration of businesses in areas like Manchester, Liverpool, London and Nottingham, which will be a huge boost to Rainbow,” said Lawther. “We believe the success we’ve seen over the last few years can be mimicked in the wider GB community.”
