HR firm Breedon Consulting has announced a formal partnership with strategic IT support company, True MSP to offer a full scope of HR, learning and development, and IT services.

Offering a no-nonsense experience, the joint venture will combine Breedon Consulting and True MSP’s services to provide a fully comprehensive offering with a straightforward approach.

The partnership comes after years of friendship between Breedon Consulting managing director Nicki Robson and True MSP co-founders, Tim Rookes and Neil Shaw.

Breedon will be providing its full scope of HR services and True MSP will provide a suite of managed IT support services.

Each company will be introducing the combined services to new and existing clients, to propose delivering joint projects.

True MSP puts its success down to moving away from the standard first to third line support – instead operating a business model where the client is put through to the right person upon first contact, to ensure a faster resolution for clients.

On the partnership, Nicki Robson, MD of Breedon Consulting, said: “We are so pleased to be partnering with True MSP – both Tim and Neil are unusual in the world of IT service providers in that they speak in plain English and provide a fantastic service, so for them to have a similar approach to clients as Breedon do made this the perfect match.”

Tim Rookes, co-founder of True MSP, said: “True MSP is thrilled to be working in partnership with Breedon Consulting to deliver a combined service of HR and IT support. Neil and I have been friends of the business for many years, and we look forward to providing straight forward solutions across both client bases.”

Neil Shaw, co-founder of True MSP, said: “It’s great to be working with Breedon Consulting on this joint venture. We are very excited about this partnership as we often get asked by our clients if we can help them with IT governance and usage policies.  This collaboration will help to strengthen our offering as we can now refer these queries to Nicki and her excellent team at Breedon Consulting.”

The partners also have plans in the pipeline to host joint training events and webinars in the near future.
