Nick Wiltshire

Nick worked for Basilica Computing Limited and more latterly BT Engage IT Ltd for approx 17 years. During that time he held almost every sales role within the organisation rising through the ranks from Sales Support in 1993 until he became Sales Director in 2001. Shortly after this, Nick was part of the five man board of Directors that successfully completed a MBO of Basilica Computing.

Under Nick's Sales Directorship, the business grew from £50m revenue in 2001 to a very profitable £100m revenue in 2007, when he was part of the same five man board that sold Basilica Computing Limited to BT.

Nick was instrumental in building the Basilica Computing business to be a major force in the IT industry. In recent years he has been at the forefront of leading the business into BT and creating the BT Engage IT brand through integrating Basilica Computing and Lynx Technology.

In 2007 as Basilica, and again in 2008 as BT Engage IT the business was awarded the coveted CRN Reseller of the Year Award, the first time this award had been won in consecutive years.

Nick finally left BT Engage IT in February 2010 and after a short career break has recently joined EVAK Technologies as a Non-Executive Director with the remit of helping them on their growth path.
