In the final part of our major new initiative focusing on the tech sector in the North, we take a look at the North’s biggest employers whose HQs (UK or otherwise) aren’t based in the North.

The Prolific North Tech 100, in association with Manchester Tech Trust and RSM, is an extensive new piece of original research being published over three days this week.

This week we have already presented the biggest 100 tech companies in the North and the top 30 tech companies to watch.

And here, we look at the North’s biggest employers whose HQs (UK or otherwise) aren’t based in the North.

We have narrowed the selection down to those companies with a significant investment in tech.

The research has been compiled in association with Manchester Tech Trust, an independent charity that promotes and supports tech enterprise in Greater Manchester, and RSM, the leading provider of audit, tax and consulting services to middle market leaders globally.
