New Fasthosts Partner Network plugs SME technical skills gap
In a climate where 31% of UK SMEs are struggling with technological skills shortages[1], the new Fasthosts Partner Network makes it easier than ever for small businesses to outsource expert help.
Data suggests that the digital skills gap is now affecting the quality of online spaces, with the most common reason for SMEs not updating their website due to a lack of expertise[2]. The Fasthosts Partner Network offers a solution, acting as a meeting point for technical expertise and small businesses looking to outsource on a project-by-project basis.
As an extension of Fasthosts’ wider partner programme, the network offers everything from expert software development support and domain registration, to web design and digital marketing. With every partner vetted to a high standard by Fasthosts’ team of experts, the network provides SMEs with the best support available without needing to search through a wide range of suppliers from scratch.
Free to use with no commitments, Fasthosts puts users directly in touch with their chosen suppliers to work exactly as desired. While the network does not require users to be an existing Fasthosts customer, it fully integrates with Fasthosts products so partners can gain hassle-free access if necessary.
Matt Harvey, Partner Manager at Fasthosts adds: “As a small business, outsourcing can often be the most efficient way to approach technical projects rather than investing scarce time or capital in-house. In the current landscape of high demand versus short supply, it’s about time there was a one-stop shop for tried and tested, trusted partners who are able to provide comprehensive expert advice and services without a business having to trawl through countless search pages. The new Partner Network is just this, providing small businesses with the skills they need to boost their online activity.”
