Simoda\u2019s \u2018Network Services\u2019 includes projects running across the country and covers core fibre work, Wi-Fi upgrades, the refreshing of Cat5e infrastructure to Cat6a, and enhanced security systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simon Flint, who joined the company last year as Head of Finance, has been promoted to Finance Director. He will use his extensive experience, gained from accounting and audit practice, to ensure Simoda\u2019s customer and supplier relationships remain strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kate Hill, who has been at Simoda since June 2023 as head of customer relations and marketing, has been promoted to the role of Commercial Director. From a journalism and marketing background, Kate retrained as an accountant and business growth specialist before being recruited into the technology consulting industry. She is now responsible for the firm\u2019s marketing strategy as well as its strategic collaborations. Committed to delivering value to clients, Simoda assists business leaders with expanded service offerings in technology solutions, technology services, and its \u2018Partner Eco System\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the firm continues to grow, it looks forward to new opportunities and strengthening local collaborations. This is demonstrated by its ongoing partnership with Sheffield\u2019s F4 racing driver, Rowan Campbell-Pilling. The partnership has enabled the company to host its customers at race weekends while offering support to Rowan, his partners, and his team, JHR Developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Image source: LinkedIn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following broadening its services to support clients across Europe, Sheffield technology and information technology (IT) firm Simoda has announced three new appointments to its board of directors, as Christian Colton, Simon Flint, and Kate Hill assume new positions within the firm.
