Cloud Galacticos to close after 15 years of Salesforce consultancy services

After 15 years of Cloud Galacticos, I’ve made the difficult decision to close the business.

What an amazing adventure we have had, with the opportunity to work with some great people, both clients and employees. We have also had a brilliant run as a business and this is partly the reason I’ve made this decision – it’s time to go when things are still good.

It goes without saying, we have had a long and highly successful relationship with Salesforce and I thank everyone there for the commitment you have made to Cloud Galacticos and everyone who has worked with us.

The last few years, though the pandemic have presented so many challenges, I’m humbled by the way the team at Cloud Galacticos have continued to successfully deliver for our customers.  The team, of course, are fully aware of the situation and I will do everything I can to help them find new roles and new adventures……..they come highly recommended.

The decision to close has not been easy, but I do believe it’s the right time and I’ve made the decision for all the right reasons – but I realise this impacts both clients and employees.  I will of course be managing all obligations to them as we wind down.
