Transferring the Baton at 5 Rings in Worthing

Sussex-based IT and telecommunications business, 5 Rings, recently celebrated ten years of service at an event held at Worthing Golf Club, attended by staff and friends.

The anniversary celebration for the family-run business provided an opportunity for Geoff Raynsford to hand over the Managing Director role to son Pete Raynsford. Geoff will very much be part of the business going forward operating in a CEO capacity. Pete however, will lead the operational aspects of this multi-functional group.

The group has grown steadily over the years and now provides IT support, telecoms and energy services as well as having an electrical services arm. Its origins are in the Worthing area but in recent years the group has added a highly successful St Albans operation headed up by Group Director, Steve Maton.

Commenting on the hand over, Geoff said: “The party gave as an opportunity to enjoy social time with our fabulous team and friends of the business. I am delighted to hand over to Pete who has proven to be an excellent Operations Director and has the drive and passion to deliver our next stage of growth.”

He adds: “We are a business that is based on a distinctive, personable, service driven culture. This has attracted quality people into the business and allowed us to diversify. IT and Telecoms will continue to be our hub but we are open minded about future developments.”
