An IT company is expanding its operations in Anglesey.
Vigo IT Solutions Ltd, a provider of IT and related services, has set up new premises at M-SParc in Gaerwen.
This expansion is part of their strategy to cater to increasing demand and serve more communities.
Kurt Beaumont-Jones, the founder and managing director, started the company in 2008 in Wirral.
At the time, he worked as an IT manager for a national energy provider and would drive around, posting chocolate bars and letters to business owners, hoping they would give his new venture a chance.
His perseverance paid off, and Vigo's client base quickly grew to the dozens, then hundreds of organisations they now represent.
The company now employs 20 staff and has more than 250 customers.
Mr Beaumont-Jones said: "We have clients across a wide range of sectors, from hospitality and manufacturing to law, finance, charities, and more, and have grown steadily over the years."
When looking for a new location, Mr Beaumont-Jones considered the Midlands and North West but chose Anglesey due to increased inquiries from North Wales.
He said: "We already covered towns and cities from Holyhead to Wrexham, so a presence in the region made sense.
"It means we can further improve and build on our links in those areas.
"We wanted to integrate ourselves into the community, notably among local businesses, and M-SParc was the perfect place to do so."
This westward expansion has allowed Vigo to recruit a Welsh-speaking administrative and engineering team.
Mr Beaumont-Jones is proud to begin a new era for the firm in what he describes as a 'beautiful part of the world.'

He said: "Our plan now is to sustainably increase our customer base - as we have since day one - providing a high-quality, reliable bilingual service on their doorstep."
He is optimistic about future growth and is already receiving interest from companies in Gwynedd, Anglesey, and beyond.
The company plans to 'accelerate growth' while supporting organisations in need of high-quality services, including telecoms, Microsoft 365, physical security and cyber security, disaster recovery, data privacy, and more.
Mr Beaumont-Jones added: "That is already paying dividends in Anglesey and may see us open offices in another area of North Wales somewhere down the line.
"But for now our aim is to attract more clients, create more high-quality, skilled bilingual engineering roles and contribute to the economy on the island and surrounding areas."
