It works with major retailers, manufacturers, professional services businesses and hotels.

It was launched in 2006 by chief executive Dan Kitchen from his family home when he was just 17.

Today, the company employs 80 staff in offices across the north of England and boasts several multi-million-pound contracts.

The investment comes as Razorblue, which offers clients 24/7 around-the-clock support, has expanded into the North West with the acquisition of J-Media IT Managed Services.
