(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider PEER 1 Hosting announced on Monday that it plans to double its UK workforce in the next twelve months to 60 employees. This new recruitment drive will add 30 people in IT sales and technical support roles. PEER 1 will also expand into new office space in 2012 to support its plans.
This announcement comes close to two months after PEER 1 launched its public cloud division Zunicore in the UK.
According to the press release, PEER 1 has had 100 percent year over year growth since it launched in the UK in 2008. Last year, it opened a new 57,800 square foot data center in Portsmouth, UK.
PEER 1 has hired an internal recruiter to oversee the drive.
“For every 100 CVs we receive, we hire one talented individual which means that candidates need to stand out as we only employ the best of the best,” Dominic Monkhouse, EMEA managing director at PEER 1 Hosting said in a statement. “Recruiting and retaining quality staff is the single biggest factor behind the unprecedented growth the business has seen in our first three years. Customers want to buy award-winning service and only brilliant staff can deliver the superior care factor to make that happen. It’s another example of why PEER 1 Hosting is a world-class hosting provider; not least because our global infrastructure beats competitors hands-down, but also because we have the UK’s brightest people to make it count for customers.”

“Ensuring the very best teams are in place will allow us to put further distance between the quality of our service proposition and our competitors, and we’re seeing the growth that proves we’re delivering what customers want,” Gary Sherlock, executive VP and CFO at PEER 1 hosting said in a statement.
