One of the region’s leading IT analysts has added further strength to the technical team at a progressive Burnley company.

The arrival of Sam Pegg as Technical Manager at Holker IT has been hailed as a ‘major coup’ by Managing Director Matthew Metcalfe.

“Sam has the ideal blend of experience and expertise and represents a perfect appointment for us,” said Matthew. “The role of Technical Manager is crucial and Sam brings a new dimension to our offering; he’s a hands-on guy with a genuine desire to deliver the very best results for clients.

“We have made giant strides in recent years - not least through our recent investment in moving to new premises in Burnley - and are proud of our reputation as a proactive provider of IT solutions for businesses large and small. This latest appointment will enable us to move forward with increased confidence.”

Sam, 33, has worked in IT since leaving school and boasts experience across many industry and retail sectors including technology, recruitment, travel and design.

“My roles have ranged between analyst, engineer and manager and I have handled some major contracts across the North West, all of them involving planning, overseeing and installation.

“Businesses continue to rely heavily on IT and it is imperative that they can trust their provider to perform to the highest level of proficiency and service.

“Sometimes you just get a gut feeling when you are in the right place and being at Holker IT felt right from the moment I first walked through the front door.

“The talent among the technical staff here is second to none and the management has a clear vision of where it wants to go. That is a heady cocktail and I am excited by the short, medium and long term opportunities to make this an established name in IT across the North of England.”

  • A native of Tamworth in the Midlands, Sam now lives by the seaside in Blackpool with partner Lisa and four-week-old son James. A long-time mobile DJ, he is also an active member of the Blackpool and Fylde Light Opera Company.
