Blackbridge Standardises on Concept
HR & Communicaitons Agency Blackbridge Makes Concept its Agency Management System of Choice
Chessington, UK – June 28th , 2010 – Concept Integrated Systems, (www.conceptintegratedsystems.co.uk ) developers of the agency management system, Concept™, has today announced that it has been selected by Blackbridge Communications to underpin its businesses with the award-winning finance, account and workflow management solution.
Blackbridge (www.blackbridge.co.uK ) was created some five years ago by a highly regarded and deeply experienced group of employer marketing professionals. Its goals were crystal clear; to develop a business that offered all the innovation, personality and care you'd expect from a boutique agency, with the credibility and capability of its larger rivals.
Today those early values still hold true and have served the agency very well as it has grown to over 20 people, has attracted more than 100 valued clients, expanded its European-wide network and broadened its range of service offerings and solutions.
Keeping pace with managing the agency’s growth while maintaining visibility of accounts, profitability and client work flow however, was becoming increasingly difficult. The agency embarked on a project to replace its Sage accounting systems with a sophisticated and integrated agency management system that incorporated finance management, account management and workflow management in one system.
Simon McLoughlin, Managing Director of Blackbridge Communications North explains. “We want to keep growing our capability without compromising our personality or indeed our service levels and to do this we need to underpin our business with an integrated finance and account management system that will grow with us as we expand our market footprint. Concept unusually fits the bill for agencies of all sizes and comes with a solid and very referenceable reputation so we know we are in safe hands.” Simon continues, “Concept is also on-demand so suits us perfectly – no hardware, infrastructure or support investment needed so we can keep focused on doing what we do best.”
Ian Tomlins is managing director at Concept and delighted to welcome both of the Blackbridge agencies to the fold, “The Blackbridge team is very well known and respected in the HR and communications market and we have known some of its founders for many years. We are particularly pleased to now include both of the businesses as Concept customers and we look forward to working closely with them in the years to come.”
