Background

Seasalt is an award-winning, dynamic and innovative fashion company offering ranges of organic cotton clothing for men and women and was the first producer of Soil Association certified clothing in the world.

The business was started in 1981 by Don Chadwick and over the past 32 years has expanded significantly. The Seasalt brand was established in 2005 and the business is now owned and run by Don Chadwick’s three sons. Seasalt has over 50 shops located throughout the country with stockists across the UK, Eire and Europe. It also operates a very successful online business.

Requirement

As Seasalt began to grow, the directors felt that they needed to source an external IT company to manage the network and provide IT support for the company as it grew.

“As we began to expand, we realised that we were becoming more reliant on IT within the business. We were looking for an IT company that would be able to work flexibly with us, provide a high level of professional support and respond effectively to the changing needs of a growing company.”
Frances Burgess, Finance Director, Seasalt

Solution

Based on the recommendations of one of the company directors’ contacts, Seasalt chose CF Systems as their IT support provider, enlisting their services and expertise to install and maintain a robust and efficient IT infrastructure across the company.

Result

CF Systems has now been working closely with Seasalt for over 12 years and during that time has established an excellent strategic partnership relationship with both directors and staff across the company.

Becoming the company’s virtual IT department, CF Systems has supported the day-to-day running and growth of Seasalt in a variety of ways, including recommending and sourcing hardware and software and administering company-wide policies.
