Client Feedback
This month we spoke to Alexa Greaves, CEO of AAG IT Services. Andy and Alexa discussed their 17-year professional relationship and the growth of AAG IT Services.
Key takeaways from the discussion:
Business Growth: AAG IT Services began 16 years ago as a small team of 6 or 7. It has since grown to a team of 40, shifting its focus from hardware/software reselling to managed IT services with over £3.5 million in recurring revenue contracts.
Recruitment & Culture: Alexa highlights the importance of cultural fit in hiring. She praises our recent hires like Ben and Sam for not just filling a role, but challenging processes and contributing to the business's evolution.
Upcoming Initiatives: AAG IT Services is hosting an event in September focused on automation and AI. The goal is to help businesses optimize internal processes to work smarter and allow employees to focus on more fulfilling tasks (Please see ‘Events’ below).

Here are some other great reviews from this month:
· Really good company. They were so friendly. Got back to me straight away. Helped me with everything, which made the process so easy. And I got a job from my first application. Really happy ☺️
· I met Andy at a networking event earlier this year. I was in the market for a new role and Andy took the time to understand my circumstances and take this back to his team. Anne contacted me to understand more about my circumstances, aspirations and salary expectations. Anne took this away and came back to me with a brilliant opportunity that she felt I was right for. The communication was brilliant from Anne with regular updates and sincerity. I cannot speak highly enough of Andy, Anne and the team. They ensure that the right people are partnered with the right organisations. The attention to detail and sincerity really stood out for me. Thank you so much for all your help and support in my time of need. This opportunity I cannot thank you enough for.
Thank you for reading and bring on September!
