A software consultancy has expanded its Redcar operation ahead of an expected recruitment drive later this year.
South African-founded Symbiosys, which also has operations in the US, has moved into bigger premises in UK Steel Enterprise’s (UKSE) Innovation Centre on the Kirkleatham Business Park.
The consultancy said the move would enable it to add to its four-strong team of software developers to cope with an upsurge in work.
Rob Laverick, a developer who has been with Symbiosys for 10 years, said: “We are anticipating a very busy 2015. The demand is showing there is real potential for growth this year.
“Originally, we were rather dependant on one large contract but we are diversifying very successfully, which means our team will be growing too.”
Working with start-ups and multinationals, Symbiosys builds software systems and complex web applications for projects that include budget planning for research and development, industrial processes and financial systems. Launched in South Africa in 2001, it expanded into the US and then opened a UK development base in Redcar following support from UKSE.
Sarah Thorpe of UKSE said: “Our remit is to help companies create wealth and jobs in steel areas so we couldn’t be more pleased that Symbiosys set up and is now expanding in one of our Teesside Innovation Centres.”
UKSE innovation centres in Redcar and Hartlepool currently house around 80 of Teesside’s emerging young businesses. The business support subsidiary of steel giant Tata, the organisation offers tailored finance packages, independent advice and managed business premises.
