Great News – Contract Signed!
Some very exciting news this afternoon. In our 21st year in business, we have just signed our first Master Service Agreement with a global organisation. Looking forward to a busy year this year!
A long time ago… – In The Beginning
A long time ago, on 16th February 2001, our journey into the contracting world started. There was no big dream, no real plan. All I knew was that being in full-time employment was not where I wanted to be.

Student Placement: Great Feedback
In 2016 Laurel Icon Ltd, in conjunction with Fujitsu Services, placed a young computing student with the Fujitsu Engineering Team. During the 6-week student placement, the student helped fit out the computer systems for a new build school (Inverness Royal Academy).
The student has received thanks from both Fujitsu and the Highland Council for the tremendous effort which attributed to the schools successful opening:
“……Team were brilliant and considering the conditions we were working around I think it went well. Special thanks to your two team leaders, Alan and Rachel, also the constant young Master Forrest. We’re not done yet I know, but worth noting thanks at this stage as we have had a successful opening. ” Andy Robb – ICT Curriculum Liaison Manager”
“……It’s always a pleasure to pass on messages of this kind. I would like to echo them as showing how our teams consistently strive to outperform each day, thank you.” Stuart Barnett – Fujitsu Service Delivery Manager
“……I would like to thank Connor for all his hard work for the time I spent at IRA. It was very much appreciated” Rachel Ravenhill – Senior Technical Services Engineer
Laurel icon hopes to repeat this work experience in the future for other students.
