Craven based digital transformation firm Meritec is marking 25 years of trading in Skipton by pledging support to one of the region’s leading children’s charities.
The technology, software and services provider has confirmed for 2024-25 it will partner The Principle Trust which provides respite breaks to children who are underprivileged, disadvantaged, disabled, have life-limiting conditions, or who have experienced poverty, trauma or abuse.
Following 3 initial years of rapid growth Meritec moved its operation to Skipton’s Acorn Business Park in 1999. Since then, the digital transformation specialist has worked with over 400 UK public sector clients and a growing number of private sector clients, principally from the construction, facilities management, transport & logistics and engineering & manufacturing sectors.
Meritec employs 58 staff and delivers bespoke digital transformation and business process outsourcing projects for businesses up to £500m turnover.
The firm has a long track record in supporting worthy causes; for 2024-25, Meritec staff chose to support the Skipton-based Trust as a charity close to home.
To kick off the partnership, on 14 September a group of Meritec staff will scale the Yorkshire Three Peaks, raising funds to help the Trust’s work with families throughout Yorkshire.
The Principle Trust was established in 2011 by local businessman Mike Davies, MBE; since then, the charity has raised over £1.7m and provided respite breaks for more than 5000 children from the Yorkshire region.
Announcing the partnership, Meritec CEO Adam Wilkinson commented:
‘We are proud to be partnering The Principle Trust and look forward to supporting their work helping disadvantaged families to escape their everyday troubles and create valuable, happy memories.’
Mr. Davies added:
‘We are delighted that Meritec has chosen to partner The Principle Trust; thanks to the generosity of Yorkshire businesses like Meritec, The Trust is able to support some of the Yorkshire region’s most disadvantaged families.’
