AN IT provider has added to its workforce as it settles into new surroundings.

Professional Network Technology Solutions (PNTS) says Rob Murdoch and John Johnstone have joined co-founders Paul Ashley and Mark Pearson.

Their arrival comes after PNTS switched from Spennymoor to NetPark, in Sedgefield, both County Durham, to meet rising demand for its IT design, installation and maintenance services.

Mr Murdoch has joined as customer relations manager to support the business’ widening client base, with Mr Johnstone coming on board as a support engineer.

Mr Ashley said: “I am delighted Rob and John have decided to join us at such an important stage in our evolution.

“Both bring with them immense experience and professionalism in their specific fields, which will be beneficial in allowing Mark and I to grow the business.”

Launched in 2015, PNTS typically works with businesses that employ up to 100 staff and do not have their own internal IT team.
