Tombola is an online bingo platform with thousands of daily users. We’re having a closer look at where they work in Sunderland. 

The company was set up back in 1999 with just 10 people and seven years ago, management decided they needed a new office to support expansion and attract the best talent in an ever-competitive market. 

The company worked with Newcastle’s Ryder Architecture to design the space, which was then built by Sunderland-based Brims Construction.

Tombola started out in the Roseline Building, a Grade II listed building on the River Wear which they still own, and plan to refurbish with the help of Ryder.

We spoke to Susanne Kennedy, Executive Assistant to Phil Cronin, CEO and Founder of tombola, to find out more about the office…

“As a technology business, it’s all about collaboration and we are truly spoilt for choice when it comes to the spaces we have to meet with colleagues. You also get to see so many more of the staff on a daily basis – which I love.

“The space Ryder has created is amazing. It was a very collaborative process, and we worked together to get a design that perfectly matched what we set out to achieve.”
