Project management software specialist, Planisware, has doubled its workforce and moved into a larger office space at MediaCity.
The Paris-based group’s global turnover for 2021 was €114m (£99m), with it forecast to hit €135m (£118m) by the end of this year.
Its Salford-based UK operation has seen its staff numbers rise to 18, since it was set up in 2016.
“I knew there was a huge opportunity here in the UK and I felt it was important to have our offices based here at MediaCity. Despite the French owners eyeing up a location in the South of England, I convinced them that Salford would be the right place for us,” explained Kai Ojo, UK CEO of Planisware,
“MediaCity is an incubator for tech businesses and I knew from my time living in Manchester that the location would be ideal from a logistical point of view as well. Our staff particularly love it here because it’s a great environment to work in.”
The new office space is at Arrive, in MediaCity’s White Tower.
“It’s been fantastic to see Planisware’s commitment to MediaCity and to support its expansion within our Arrive workspace,” added Rebekah Lloyd Beere, Arrive’s Operations Manager.
“Planisware is a dynamic business which provides real opportunity for emerging tech talent and we’re excited to see the team continue to grow and flourish.”
Planisware’s clients include AstraZeneca and Ocado.
