We are delighted to win the business with Swan Housing and look forward to progressing the contract with their team."

Suzanne Wicks from Swan says: "We were really impressed with Novosco. Their bid was competitive and their knowledge and enthusiasm was evident. Their customer service excellence and investment in staff was a really good match for Swan's culture."

Novosco has been in business for more than 20 years and employs more than 100 people. It provides cloud computing and IT infrastructure services, including disaster recovery, managed services and connectivity services, to a wide range of organisations in the public and private sectors.
