Boss proud of software company’s record year
GODEL, the Manchester-headquartered software development company, has reported yet another record financial year.
The firm announced turnover has increased to £35.6m for the year to December 2019, up 64 per cent on the previous year when revenues reached over £21.7m.
This is the fifth year in a row where growth has exceeded 50pc, Godel said.
The company develops business software including technology for point-of-sale and supply chain management, serving sectors from oil and gas to telecoms, retail, manpower, healthcare, finance and education.
Last year was CEO Neil McMurdo’s first full 12 months at the helm and during that time the company continued its ambitious growth plans which included opening two new additional software development centres in Belarus – in the cities of Mogilev and Minsk (the third Godel office in Minsk), investing in its Manchester-based customer facing sales and service delivery teams and now employing around 1,200 employees across Manchester and Belarus. Godel, which won the Mitchell Henry Prize at the 2019 M.E.N. Business of the Year Awards for being the most ambitious company in Manchester, works with more than 70 UK-based brands delivering mission critical solutions and allowing them to expand their software development capabilities across a diverse range of industries.
Key customer wins included RS Components, Domino’s, Sofology, and DealTrak.
Said Neil: “In a year of political and economic uncertainty in the UK, Godel has more than weathered the fall-out of the Brexit debate and has had another incredible record year of growth.
“We’re proud of the long-term strategic partnerships we’ve continued to build with clients – with some who’ve scaled to over 100 Godel team members.
“We work in partnership with these brands to provide a truly agile delivery model through knowledgesharing, experience and software engineering skills from our growing number of near shored development centres of excellence across Belarus.
“We have invested in our sales and service delivery teams based in Manchester this year – I believe it’s fundamental to recruit the right people at the right time, and after another hugely successful year we’re adding further expertise into our UK teams. The demand for our talent in the UK marketplace continues to grow and investing in our headcount will ensure that we continue to deliver in the quality manner that we all expect and are particularly proud of.”
