EVAD joins forces with Century Mobile

Communications and business telecoms provider EVAD has announced it has joined forces with Derby mobile phone firm Century Mobile.

EVAD, which recently moved its team from Staffordshire to Staton Young’s Cubo workspace, in Derby city centre, specialises in supporting business communication across video, voice and data.

It is to take over Century Mobile as part of an agreed merger, which will see EVAD offer its new clients, the majority of which are Derby-based, the opportunity to benefit from a fully integrated approach to business communication rather than specialising in only mobile communication.

EVAD already supports key Derby clients including the NHS, Ward and Derbyshire County Cricket Club.

The merger has come about following the decision by Scott Harrhy, who founded Century seven years ago, to retire at the end of the month.

Scott, who has nearly three decades of mobile telecoms experience, said: “The business has been built with great customer service at its heart.

“It is a commitment I know that EVAD share, which is why I am confident in the future of the business and excited by the new dimension EVAD will bring with its fully integrated approach.

“It has been a pleasure to work with all of my clients and I look forward to seeing the business now grow under EVAD’s leadership.”

EVAD chief executive Matt Hill said: “As a company we are keen to grow and support local businesses.

“Derby has always been a place which means a lot to us and we have strong connections with the community and businesses in the region.

“We have worked with Century Mobile and Plan.com for a number of years now so when Scott was looking to retire it seemed the ideal opportunity for EVAD to support the business going forward.

“It is an exciting time for the company, and we look forward to continuing the longstanding relationships already built, as we offer our innovative, integrated approach to telecommunications in Derby.”
