I founded the company back in 2013 when we started as Green Cloud IT, as time went on, we realised a rebrand to align us better to our client's requirements was needed which is when Teqex Ltd was born. Over the years, we have grown in every area, staff members, clients, repeat business, partners, accreditations and much more. We have a 10-year wall in our office, which charts the journey from 2013 to 2023 (not complete yet) and every visitor we have that visits us, mentions this, and you can see it many times on social media. In my spare time, I enjoy watching football, spending time with my two little boys and partner, and making the most of the time we have at weekends, whether that be a visit to the zoo or a weekend away to make the most of it. I also enjoy assisting other companies through tough patches and see myself as a small business advocate, and I’m currently building a podcast that reveals the ugly side of running a business, along with holding 3 charity balls along the way which have raised over £45,000 for several Manchester-based charities, I am now a local board member for Cash for Kids which is run by Hits Radio Manchester.

My name is Katy Pears, I am the Finance Director. I assist and oversee our trainee Accountants. I have been involved with the company from the beginning and joined 6 years ago on a part-time basis. Prior to this, I spent many years working in account management in the banking industry. As well as working I also have two little boys, who I love to spend time with and create special memories with. As a working mum, I don’t get any ‘spare’ time, but I do enjoy having the occasional pamper! Taking a step out of my comfort zone inspires me, taking that leap of faith and doing something new, gives me a great sense of accomplishment and that motivates me to push myself further. I am so passionate about giving our clients the best possible experience, this is something as a company we pride ourselves in because we truly believe we deliver amazing customer service, and we build the best relationships with our clients and suppliers.

I head up our public sector sales team and ensure our clients are receiving the best possible service from our Teqex Team. I have been with the company for 3 years and prior to this, have worked in admin over multiple sectors including, charities, events, manufacturing, estate agents, and debt collection. I completed my NVQ level 2&3 in Business Administration straight out of school and currently working on my Operations/Development Manager level 5. On completion, I am looking forward to being registered with the Chartered Management Institute and will be eligible for a Chartered Manager Status through CMI. In my spare time, I enjoy snowboarding, earning my wings at indoor skydiving, and love going to watch Premier League Champions – Manchester City (Citeh!). Doing something new and charity work inspires me as a person to be more involved, say yes, and put forward new ideas. I feel this contributes to my attitude and how I look after not only our clients and employees here at Teqex but also build great lasting relationships with our suppliers. I have been involved with the last 2 charity balls hosted by Teqex where we raised over £25,000.00 for numerous Manchester-based charities.
