Concept IT focuses on M1 corridor with Geraint Allday appointment

.

Concept IT, a supplier of IT engineering personnel, has appointed Geraint Allday to head up a new team dedicated to delivering comprehensive IT recruitment services for companies operating within the M1 corridor that require software developers.

With over seven yearís experience in the IT recruitment market, specialising in IT software personnel, Geraint joins Concept IT with extensive business knowledge of the companies based within the M1 area and their IT recruitment requirements. In his new role as Team Leader, Geraint will work closely with Concept ITís Managing Director, Chris Short, to align the companyís existing offering and quality of service with the new teamís activities.

Commenting on his appointment, Geraint says: ìThe IT software developers market is currently a dynamic place in which to be operating. Following the introduction of the C# language by Microsoft a few years ago, businesses, which were traditionally reluctant to move away from Java language, are now making the transition. As a result, there is a high national demand for IT professionals with the knowledge and capabilities to operate this software.

ìWith significant financial rewards offered by many businesses based in the capital, software developers are being drawn to London, leaving permanent positions to work on a contract basis. Obviously, this is great news for candidates, but has made it difficult for some companies to attract the required IT talent. The new Concept IT team focusing on the M1 corridor will address this problem, and work with employers in the area to highlight the many opportunities open to them to source professionals with the skills needed.î

Chris Short adds: ìWe are delighted that Geraint has decided to join the team. He has vast experience within this sector and an exceptional history of bringing the right candidates and clients together. His appointment, and the general development of a team to service the M1 corridor, is in response to the ever-increasing requests we receive for our services within this area, and reflects the important role of recruitment providers in the progressive IT marketplace.î
