Gates specializes in the b2b market offering a blend of directly owned business combined with strategic partnership where highly specialised skills are required such as Creative Design, Web Design, IT support, PR advertising, IT consultancy, Team Building Career Management Training and Human Resources.

The mission of Gates B2B is to become the Small and Medium sized enterprises (SME's) preferred "Support Service Partner" and to provide outsourcing in specialized areas to corporate clients by developing workable B2B relationships. The aim is to increase the profitability and efficiency of companies and organizations through a blend of bespoke services and solutions. We are committed to develop a long-term partnership with our clients by addressing four main issues:
- Adding real value to our client's processes. - Openness is vital with clients and suppliers. - Generating trust at all moments and under any circumstance. - Creating alliances with our clients enhancing performance of both sides.
We aim to provide a high level of expertise at an affordable price. Therefore, we are proud to have an "open book policy" with our SME clients. Giving our clients the opportunity to access our solutions/support and use the "open book" approach in order for them to either work with us on a project to project basis or develop a more structured contracted relationship.
In order to achieve these goals Gates b2b has a committed and enthusiastic workforce. The Company is discipline driven because we have the conviction of training and educating our people, remaining certified in different areas and updating continuously software and hardware. The company also subscribes to various publications in order to keep up-to date. In addition Gates b2b is in the middle of implementing an online knowledge library (KM system).
