Lanway builds Polish business alliance

Burnley-based IT solutions provider Lanway has announced an alliance with Polish company Netwise aimed at improving services to new and existing clients.

Lanway managing director Andrew Henderson explained: “At present, many clients use disparate platforms from multiple suppliers to manage relationships with their customers. We will provide them with a single source solution, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, which drives sales and marketing by delivering amazing customer experiences”.

Lanway is expanding rapidly, with turnover rising from £12m to £16m in the past year and forecast to reach £21m next year. Last year it took over Altham-based Profile IT and staff numbers are growing too, with 10 new jobs to be created this year.

At the same time, the company is launching the Lanway Academy, which aims to fill the skills gap by identifying future stars and by stepping up training for existing staff.
