The specialist technology arm of RMT Accountants & Business Advisors is building its national presence after winning a competitive tender with Cyclife UK.
RMT Technology has been appointed to provide a full managed-service partnership for Cyclife UK, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the EDF Group which supports its customers in their nuclear decommissioning projects and in the management of their radioactive waste.
After providing IT support for Cyclife UK at its Workington site over the last six years, RMT Technology will now be delivering day-to-day IT support, proactive threat monitoring and long-term infrastructure planning right across their UK operations.
The contract is expected to lead to RMT Technology creating a number of new service desk and field engineering roles, with new staff already in place in Southampton to cover Cyclife UK’s needs in the south of England.
And the Gosforth-based business is aiming to use it to help develop its position in the energy and environment sectors, as well as to demonstrate its capabilities in meeting complex needs for clients working across multiple sites.
It works on the design and dismantling of its customers’ facilities, and provides services including large component management, decontamination, waste volume reduction, material recycling, melting and incineration.
Andrew Laker, Chief Transformation Officer at Cyclife UK, commented: “We are delighted to reaffirm our trusted partnership with RMT Technology as our chosen IT partner.
“Over the years, RMT has consistently demonstrated deep expertise and unwavering commitment to the high standards required in nuclear security.
“As we embark on a significant integration with our sister company, Cyclife Aquila, RMT’s support will be vital in ensuring seamless continuity of service across our IT landscape.
“Their understanding of our business drivers and strategic goals gives us full confidence in their ability to deliver the quality and reliability we expect.”
RMT Technology works in partnership with a growing range of businesses to identify and implement security first IT solutions which meet their specific business and operational needs around IT strategy, network infrastructure, information security and data management services.
It also provides a consultancy service which helps clients of all sizes identify and address issues within their technology infrastructure, information management and cyber security systems and procedures.
The business recently moved into a purpose-built 1,800 sq ft office and build area at RMT’s headquarters as part of its drive towards increasing its client base, which is expected to see at least 15 new technical and project management jobs created over the next two years.
Stephen McNickle, commercial director at RMT Technology, adds: “Our deep understanding of Cyclife’s operational environment, our strong track record in highly regulated sectors and our ability to deliver robust, secure solutions at scale have all played a part in this contract success and we’re thrilled to be extending our relationship with them.
“Winning this tender demonstrates our team’s ability to meet the stringent security, compliance and uptime requirements of world-class operators like Cyclife, and we’re investing in both our team and our facilities to ensure that our people, processes and technology are all ready to take on these sorts of enterprise-level opportunities.”
