Timico is looking for a head of Technical Pre-Sales. This is a great opportunity to join a business that is showing great organic growth despite the fact that the country has been going through economic woes.

We need serious Cisco Network Architecture/Design background and sound experience of leading and managing teams. Timico delivers large-scale networks (500+ sites) so experience in delivery of such projects is key.

Obviously I can guarantee a great working environment with great people and you get to make suggestions for blog post content

Drop me a line if you want to chat about it. More details here.

PS I only want direct contact from techies interested in the job. If you are a recruitment consultant please go through our HR department.

Life is great. This morning my in-tray told me we have been selected as finalists in the Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire Chamber of Commerce Best Business Awards  Innovation category.

I don’t have to tell you, astute reader, this is an exceptional achievement with the added benefit of if we win we go through to the “Nationals” in London in November.

The entry was based on our Mobile Access Management (MAM) solution which you should all by now know is a fantastic mobile data broadband backup solution.

Chambers of Commerce are obviously good places to get exposure for a business selling to business. They do need to know that Timico operates internationally and so a further tier of “International Awards” would be eminently suitable. I’m thinking the Bahamas in January or February –  I wouldn’t want to miss the run up to Christmas in the UK.

If we win I’ll let you know. If we don’t it will almost certainly slip by unnoticed:)

I note that we have a lot of job vacancies at the moment –  Sales Director (Partners),  eBusiness Manager, Biz Dev Manager – mobile services, Telephone Sales Manager – SME Telesales and finally 3^rd Line Technical Operations – IP Telephony.

Its a very exciting time to be around this industry and certainly a great time to be joining Timico.  We have been prominent for the last few year as one of the UK’s fastest growing tech companies and we plan for this to continue.

Timico is spending a lot of cash  to promote future growth.  This is not just in sales. We are talking systems, core network, a new data centre,  quality, everywhere really. The business is moving into a new phase.

I’m looking for a product manager to join the Timico Marketing team.  Marketing speak => ” This is a great opportunity to join one of the UK’s fastest growing and happenin’ ISPs.  If you want to work in an action packed environment that is going to take your career places over the next few years then this is for you.”

Marketing blurb over – this is actually a great opportunity for a Product Manager who wants to make a high profile impact for him or herself. Timico is fast becoming one of the best known B2B brands in the communications industry. What’s more the rich mix of high quality services on offer – including mobile security, MPLS, IPv6, VoIP, hosting and FTTX will give you the opportunity to work on interesting and market leading products.  You will be able to claim ownership of their success.

On Tuesday night I attended the 10th Annual Sunday Times/Microsoft Techtrack Awards at Vinopolis on the South Bank. This is the fourth year running that Timico has appeared in these rankings – no mean feat as they are based on a 5 year compound annual growth rate. We hit the heady heights of fourth place in our second year on the list.

Couple of points of interest from the evening.  The first was the fact that the net worth of the 100 companies that appeared on the first ever list was £500 million.  This year the list is worth £2.5Bn.

Secondly it was amusing to note that one of the main topics of conversation was EBITDA.  Also every other guest seemed to be a financial adviser! They can keep away from me – I have 4 kids to pay for:)
