Kick celebrates a decade of growth  

Kick is proud to mark its tenth anniversary this month, celebrating a decade of sustained growth, strategic expansion, and ongoing investment in people and technology. 

Since its formation in April 2015, Kick has grown to become one of the UK’s leading independent IT providers. Today, the business supports more than 1,000 customers across the UK, employs over 160 colleagues, and operates across five core divisions: Dynamics, Infor, IT Services, Communications, and Cyber. 

To coincide with this important milestone, we are pleased to announce the appointment of Melanie Stevenson as Group Sales Director, effective 1 April 2025. Melanie brings with her 18 years of experience from Sabio, where she progressed from Account Manager to Commercial Director. Her appointment follows the retirement of Kick’s founding Group Sales Director, Alan Turnbull, in December 2024. 

Commenting on her appointment, Melanie said: 

“Joining Kick at such a significant moment in its journey is a real privilege. The business has built an incredible foundation over the last ten years and I’m excited to work with the team to help shape the next chapter of growth and customer success.” 

CEO Tom O’Hara added: 

“Reaching our tenth anniversary is a major milestone, underpinned by the hard work and commitment of our team. We’ve grown the business responsibly and with purpose, remaining focused on customer delivery while building long-term value. Melanie’s appointment strengthens our leadership team and supports our ambitions for the future.” 

Kick’s anniversary will be marked with a number of celebrations and employee-focused activities throughout April. 

We look forward to the next chapter and to continuing to grow, innovate, and deliver outstanding outcomes for our customers, colleagues, and partners.
