root6 to Open Glasgow Office
root6 is to open an office in Glasgow. The new venture will be run by industry professionals Alex Keane and Gerry McGachy, both of whom most recently worked at Picture Exchange.
“We have been thinking about how best to address regional business for some time,” said root6 MD Marcus Hume-Humphreys. “The opportunity to work with Alex and Gerry, who have built up an enviable reputation based on their exemplary professionalism, was too good to miss. There are not many people into whose hands we would entrust the root6 brand, but we feel very comfortable with Alex and Gerry and we look forward to extending the reach of our business through their efforts.”
The new office will handle both sales and technical support and is expected to be operational by the end of October. “We’re delighted to have joined the root6 family, to help extend the geographical reach of a company revered within the industry,” said Keane. “The depth of knowledge and support within root6 is incredible, and we look forward to building upon the work we’ve already started in the region”
