History

Gaia was established in Bangor (North Wales) in 1992 to supply computer systems, parts and peripherals throughout the UK. The company was established as a partnership between three ex - Bangor University students.

In 1995 Gaia established a second company, Gaia Solutions Ltd. to provide its customers with networking consultancy and implementation, support and maintenance, video conferencing, voice recognition and Computer Aided Equipment for the partially sighted and the disabled.

As the turnover of Gaia (the partnership) reached £2.5m in 1996, a decision was made to give the company a public limited status to become Gaia Technologies PLC. The decision was made to reflect the Directors’ deep belief in providing a strong and well-supported presence in the area and inspire confidence in terms of commitment and ability to serve.

Gaia Technologies has twice been selected by Becta, both in 2001 and 2006 as an Infrastructure Framework member. As a result, we were awarded the KS3 Testing Infrastructure Tender to supply PC’s and Quad Core Servers to 24 schools across England. Gaia has also been a Microsoft Gold Enterprise Partner for Network Infrastructure, Networks Solutions and Security since 2001 and a Microsoft Certified Solution Partner since 1995. Gaia is a Cisco Wireless Solution Partner in Europe delivering internal as well as external Metropolitan Wireless Networks using Cisco infrastructure in Wales, Manchester, Cumbria and Birmingham.

Today, Gaia Technologies PLC, stands with a turnover over £4m while employing 28 members of full time staff.
