Calligo is hiring as it expands into UK cloud services market

Calligo has expanded into the UK cloud services market by opening a London office and is hiring. The international firm has appointed Mark Thomas as director of on-boarding services to support and grow its client base across the country.

Julian Box, Calligo co-founder and chief executive officer, said: “Our push into the UK is in recognition of the size and opportunity of the cloud market in the UK and is a natural next step given the strong client base we already enjoy there.

“The London office is further evidence of our commitment to building a lasting presence in the UK and to delivering our unique blend of cloud services where privacy, performance and customised service are at its heart.”

Before joining Calligo, Mark Thomas was the solutions architect at Databarracks, responsible for the design and implementation of its infrastructure-as-a-service and disaster-recovery-as-a-service offerings. He has also held leadership roles at VirtualizeIT and Virtustream.

Further hires in the UK will follow in the coming months, said the firm, as it continues to grow its presence in the UK. Calligo’s new London office is located at 1 Lancaster Place, London WC2.
