SA1 Solutions embarks on new chapter of expansion with senior hire

SA1 Solutions, a leading IT and communications company based in South Wales, has embarked on a new chapter of growth and expansion with more new hires, as it reaps the rewards of changes to its offering made during the pandemic and other investments in the business.

The business has appointed Owen Price as Sales Manager. His role will be to further push SA1’s unique offering as a one-stop shop to organisations across the UK, helping further integrate the different aspects of the business, which comprise: SA1 Solutions, its IT arm; SA1 Telecoms, its communications offering; and SA1 Creative, which offers website design and digital marketing including social media management.

Price has a wealth of experience in sales and has spent the last 10 years working within sales and recruitment for the education sector. He studied Accountancy and Finance at the University of the West of England.

SA1 has seen a great demand for its services post pandemic, especially in areas of IT security and remote working. It will now be Price’s responsibility to facilitate this growth and push SA1’s offering to a wider audience.

Owen Price, Sales Manager of SA1 Solutions, commented:

“It has been a steep learning curve, but that is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a new challenge, something that would excite me and push my capabilities. I already can see what a great service SA1 provides many organisations and just how much they have to offer any company in any sector. Their ability to cover all areas of IT is impressive and I look forward to participating to the growth of this great organisation.

“Even after only a short few months within the company, I can see that SA1 has so much to offer an organisation. SA1 is very much a group that represents a one-stop shop for any organisation as it provides IT, communications, web and digital marketing. This message is something I believe I can drive more, drive to new businesses and further drive to our existing customer base.”

Simon Ahearne, Managing Director at SA1 Solutions, added:

“At SA1 we believe more about a candidate being a right fit than their IT knowledge, we can teach someone the tech, but we need their personality to fit in well with our team first. Owen has the fundamental sales drive and ambition we were looking for in a candidate. I am looking forward to working closely with Owen, to build something special and take SA1 to the next level.”
