AMT Data set up in a small office at the technopole in 2003, initially with two founders but has now taken an office suite on the top floor with sweeping views of the city and harbour. Colin Thorpe, AMT Data's Managing Director, said: "We are now up to eight permanent staff, and planning to add another two this year. We're in our fourth office at Portsmouth Technopole, and we've finally made it to the top floor!"
Colin and his colleagues have found that the professional appearance of the technopole's facilities has helped in building the business. "The technopole has undoubtedly helped us win some key clients. First impressions are vital, and the professional nature of the reception area, the cheerful and business-like reception staff, and the formal boardroom have helped create a great image of AMT Data, even when there were only two of us. Also, the ability to move into a larger office when we needed it, and not having to sign up to a long-term lease, have been vital factors in our growth," Colin said.
