A COMPUTER firm has seen sales grow by more than 50 per cent since its management buyout.

Turnover at Haslingden-based PSL, which distributes Hewlett-Packard computer equipment, topped £50 million in the year following its buyout from Skillsgroup. "It has been a highly successful year for us," said chief executive Mike Kontowtt.

"We have made the smooth transition to independence with minimum disruption but we also grew the business by 50 per cent."
