iomart Group Manager Colin McGregor to be Olympic Torchbearer in Scotland

Mar 22, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Colin McGregor, a manager for UK cloud computing provider iomart Group, has been chosen to be an Olympic torchbearer for the London 2012 Relay as it passes through Scotland this summer.

In a release, the Company noted McGregor, who lives in Perth, was nominated because of his voluntary work as a leader with the Scouts Association in Scotland. He will be one of the torchbearers as the London 2012 Relay passes through Newburgh in north Fife on June 12.


McGregor is a customer service manager for iomart Group. He has worked for the web hosting company since 2003.

Angus MacSween, CEO of iomart Group, said: "Colin is a great ambassador for the iomart Group. He works tirelessly for the Scouts, giving up his own time to encourage young Scouts in Scotland to gain vital life skills, learn about adventure and above all have fun. We are delighted that his hard work and continuing enthusiasm has been recognised by London 2012." As National Presenting Partner of the London 2012 Relay, Lloyds TSB gave an iomart Group employee the opportunity to be part of the Relay. The 200 staff who work for iomart were invited to either nominate themselves or a work colleague to be an Olympic Torchbearer, demonstrating how they or the colleague had made a valuable contribution to their community or had inspired others to make a positive impact of their own.

iomart Group itself is promoting sport in this Olympic year. iomart 's main business hosting brand iomart Hosting is running a community campaign called Host Your Kit to give away free football kits to youth teams across Scotland, England and Wales.

iomart Group is one of the UK's providers of managed hosting and cloud computing services.
