City office for Argentinian tech company
THE COMPANY SAID THE MANCHESTER BASE IS PART OF ITS STRATEGIC PLAN TO GROW ITS UK PRESENCE OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS
AN Argentinian tech firm is expanding into the UK with Manchester as its base.
Crowdar works with software, gaming, healthcare, banking and fintech industries to improve the quality of their new or existing software by delivering crowdsourced testing services.
The company said the Manchester operation is part of its strategic plan to grow its UK presence over the next three years.
This will complement the Argentinian businesses which saw a 50 per cent revenue growth in 2016-2017.
Company was founder Javier Re said: “Crowdar chose Manchester as its UK location because of the size of the digital ecosystem, the close proximity to London’s FinTech start-up community and major cities in the north of England, plus the great balance between the cost of living and quality of life. Since our arrival, we’ve received a warm Manchester welcome and continue to have lots of support from different organisations, including MIDAS, SpacePortX and the Global Entrepreneur Network.
“We signed two strategic partnership agreements to provide security testing as part of our automated testing services.
“Having met like-minded entrepreneurs and potential clients across the region and beyond at numerous networking events, the benefits of doing business in the UK are already clear.”
He added: “Our customers are in Latin America and the US and by offering alternative solutions to UK software companies, this could be a real opportunity to see our company grow.” Tim Newns, CEO, MIDAS, Manchester’s inward investment agency, said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Crowdar to Manchester, and it’s encouraging to hear that they’re already successfully integrating into the city’s thriving network of digital organisations. “They will no doubt continue to benefit from Greater Manchester’s diverse digital ecosystem with strengths in fintech, healthcare and e-commerce amongst others. “This network will enable them to diversify, grow and deliver on their objective of expanding their portfolio.” Crowdar provides functional and automated software testing services through a vetted crowd of software testing professionals.
