GLiNTECH grows strength to strength

Leading Australian solutions development consultancy, GLiNTECH, has appointed numerous specialists to its Sydney-based team in response to increasing demand for its IT services from companies around the world. In the last 12 months, GLiNTECH’s business has grown by 132 percent, which secured them 19th place on BRW’s Fast 100 List.

GLiNTECH has recently sourced highly qualified consultants from France, Canada, South Africa and Sweden to provide consultancy and technical expertise.

Dimitri Spyridopoulos, Managing Director, GLiNTECH, said "GLiNTECH has opened employment opportunities to technology specialists from around the globe to source the world’s best IT people to look after our growing international client list. We have been unable to fill these positions locally as so many Australian Gen Y’s are going overseas looking for international experience. So we are importing skills to fill the local gaps.

"We value bright, enthusiastic people to deliver premium technical consulting services for our enterprise clients," he said.
