Clark Integrated Technologies celebrates landmark year

2016 is a milestone year for leading North-east ICT specialists Clark Integrated Technologies which celebrates 25 years in business.

Clark IT is marking its silver anniversary with a series of special events, including a gala dinner at Fyvie Castle in July.

From humble beginnings – Clark Computers started trading from the family farm near Turriff – the business has grown into a company with 26 employees that is regarded as a leading independent provider of managed Information and Communications Technology solutions to a broad range of corporate and commercial clients across Scotland.

The company’s integrated solutions provide industry-leading services, productivity and cost effective IT platforms for business growth, allowing its clients to outsource key services to improve performance freeing their own time and resources to focus on core business.

In the past year alone, Clark IT was named among the top managed service providers in the world in the annual MSP mentor 501 list; it achieved ISO 9001 and its support of modern apprenticeships was recognised when the company came runner-up in the Microsoft Scottish apprentice employer of the year award.

The firm, based at Auchterless, near Turriff, is a Microsoft Silver Partner, a quality standard approved by the global tech company and is a one of only a handful of authorised Apple consultants in Scotland with dedicated support technicians experienced in the use of Apple products in the business world.

Managing director Austen Clark says: “Clark IT has come a long way in 25 years – just think of the technological advances there have been in that period that have revolutionised the way we live and do business.

“We face the future with considerable optimism and look forward to many more years of growth and positively contributing to the economy of the North-east of Scotland.”

Founded in 1991 as Clark Computers by current chairman Graham Clark, the business was set up with a staff of 2 and operated from its rural location outside Turriff. The steady development and growth of the company facilitated the need for larger premises and it moved to its current site at Auchterless, which was previously the Towie Tavern, in 2003.
