Drupal in the West Midlands

Thu, 2007-05-31 13:57 — elliot

At OpenAdvantage we are starting to see more and more enquiries about support for Drupal. Often this will be from companies who've started using Drupal but need some work done on customisation; or a company that's seen Drupal in action elsewhere but lacks the technical skill for implementation. They are often looking for a local company to support their work, and ask for suggestions. I end up scouring the Drupal services page for UK companies, but it's not very often I see any West Midlands companies.

If you are a Drupal company based in the West Midlands region and are looking for consultancy work, please let me know in the comments so I can pass your details on. I've had enquiries from three different organisations in the past month, to give you an idea of the levels of interest. For the record, here's a list of compiled; note that these are not recommendations, just companies I know of who work with Drupal in the UK:

Thanks for getting in touch.

Thanks for getting in touch. How do you find working with Drupal professionally? It's something I've considered getting into over here, as there is a relative scarcity of Drupal consultants, allied with growing interest from customers (at least, the people I work with at OpenAdvantage).

Drupal Help

Hi Elliot,
I've just read this post and thought I might be able to help. I run a small IT consultancy based in Solihull in the West Midlands. I've been using and developing with Drupal for the past 18 months and have successfully built websites based on Drupal that customers have been very pleased with. I'd be happy to help other companies looking to get involved with Drupal and could provide consultancy support, theme development or bespoke module development services. More details about the company can be found at www.avsco.com/it, please could you pass these details on if you think I may be able to help.
Thanks

Thanks David, I'll

Thanks David, I'll definitely pass your details on. As far as I can tell, you're the only West Midlands based Drupal consultant who's prepared to admit it! Have you thought of adding your name to the Drupal services page?

Drupal services page

I'd like to be listed on the Drupal Services page but I have not been able to contribute to the Drupal project just yet. I am hoping to make a couple of theme-based contributions in the next month and after that hopefully I'll be able to list on the services page. I'll let you know when I make it!
