Auxilion completes phase one of its UK expansion with €4.6m investment

Auxilion, one of Ireland’s leading providers of digitally transformative IT managed services and solutions, has announced the completion of phase one of its UK expansion strategy with a €4.6m investment in its Managed Services Centre of Excellence in Sheffield. Launched as part of Auxilion’s €17.5M investment commitment to the UK market, the expanded Service Operations Centre (SOC) will double the company’s UK capacity and has already created 34 new roles in 2023.

The Managed Services Centre of Excellence will be a hub of innovation and service excellence for the Auxilion group, with part of the investment going towards new tools and technologies that will drive increased efficiencies and services innovation, necessary for the complex multi-cloud world. Auxilion has recently secured a new €9.3m IT managed services contract with a global health and life sciences multinational to be delivered out of its Service Operations Centre (SOC) in Sheffield.

Speaking about the investment Philip Maguire, Auxilion CEO, said, “Having laid down a solid foundation in Ireland over many years, this investment and expansion in our Centre of Excellence is a significant milestone in delivering on our UK growth strategy.  We are committed to continually building the most progressive and innovative IT managed services capabilities in Ireland, the UK and further afield.  This isn’t just about expanding our physical footprint but investing in new technologies, processes, training, and development and creating skilled jobs in the region.

“The great thing is its working.  We’ve recently won a significant IT managed services deal that’ll be managed out of Sheffield. This is testament to our team and capabilities but also their recognition of the talent, support infrastructure and potential of Sheffield and the broader region.

“We’re still on the acquisition trail in the UK, and we’re very excited and optimistic about the future of our growing operations both here and in the UK, with incredible opportunities for success ahead.”, Maguire concluded.

Deirdre McPartlin, Regional Director UK & Nordics, Enterprise Ireland, said, “Enterprise Ireland is proud to support Auxilion’s ambitious expansion and growth plans in the UK, which will continue to positively impact both their Irish and UK operations. Today, we celebrate the success to date of Auxilion in the UK and the continued growth of their centre of excellence in Sheffield. Auxilion has invested significantly in the North of England leading to strong results including winning a new £8m IT managed services contract to be delivered out of Sheffield. The Auxilion team has ambitious plans to continue to scale their presence in the region and Enterprise Ireland will continue to support them on their scaling journey.”
