LEADING tech figure Chris Marsh has left UKFast to launch a new branding agency.

Chris Marsh left his role as director of partner developmen­t at the highgrowth cloud datacentre company to set up Agents Of.

The agency will represent a ‘hand-picked group’ of Manchester and North West service sector businesses.

At UKFast, Chris was responsibl­e for developing strategic partnershi­ps with clients, suppliers and other local and national influentia­l organisati­ons for highprofil­e owner Lawrence Jones MBE.

Chris will support his clients’ growth strategies with introducti­ons and commercial opportunit­ies from the influentia­l networks he has built up over his career.

Chris, from Stockport, says: “It has been a wonderful experience working with UKFast at such an exciting time in the company’s growth. I have learned so much from Lawrence and his team, and we part on excellent terms.

“Thanks to my time at UKFast and my non-executive and education activities, I have acute insights into the issues and challenges facing the tech and digital sector in Manchester and the north-west. You could say I’m pretty well-connected, and there are not many Manchester businesses and people I don’t know in these fields.”

The client list of Agents Of includes: app developer Apadmi, software developers WebAntic, digital marketing agency Cube3, and e-commerce agency Space 48.
