Watford-based Rocket has expanded its 30 strong team to help keep up with demand and at the same time, drive its business forward.
In total four new staff have joined the successful firm this year, with a further four installer roles earmarked for later on in the year.
Joining the team are Gary Egan as production manager and Andy Webb who will project manage a number of events on behalf of national and international renowned clients. Also joining the team is Stephen Silverton who will head up its new retail division.
Already this year the team have been involved in a number of major events including stadium branding at Wembley to promote the 2013 Champions League, producing 17 stands at the World Congress in Barcelona and creating branding to promote multi-event hospitality for HSBC.
Antony Rider commercial director, said, ‘It has been a great start to the year for Rocket; we are busier than ever and expanding rapidly within the digital production sector. We are now at a place where the business needs to go to the next level. So we felt the need to grow the team in order to bring the business in line with a number of ambitious objectives and targets.’
Some of these objectives included diversifying the company into complimentary markets and to continue to develop strong strategic relationships with both our clients and our suppliers.
The company has seen its turnover increase from £2.8 million in 2011 to £3.3 million in 2012. The forecast for 2013 shows a healthy turnover of just over £4 million.
Re-investing money back into the recruitment of good quality industry experienced people and the upgrade of printers has helped the business to grow.
