Gower For a variety of reasons, including the retirement of some key people, Gower has not recently been able to provide its delivery and support services to suit the requirements of its clients. As a result, Manuscripti, the specialist scanners, who have worked with Gower for many years, have got involved, and now own a controlling interest in the Gower companies. The businesses are now well resourced, the Gower personnel have been retained, and additional experienced IT staff have been engaged. Jamie Burges-Lumsden, Manuscripti MD commented:“We are very keen to re-engage with our Gower clients to make sure that they are supported as they would wish, and also to make them aware of all of the upgrades and improvements that we can offer. We are still in the process of training and re-training, which is progressing well, so we hope to be in touch with everyone in the near future.” Jamie can be contacted on:- jbl@manuscripti.net
