Freeman Clarke has been working with Gloucester based P&M Group for several years. Freeman Clarke was initially called in to align the activities of various service providers to the business needs of the company. Dave Martin from the West Midlands team was appointed as Fractional IT Director.

Following on from the initial exercise Dave has become a trusted business advisor and works closely with the Directors, passing on his knowledge as projects emerge and are executed.

The relationship between P&M and Freeman Clarke has steadily deepened over the years. Dave has worked with the group companies on a wide variety of projects including process efficiency optimisation, IT infrastructure improvements, software selection and licensing, cyber security and cyber insurance, computer aided design, websites and telephony.
