Powering up: Edinburgh IT jobs firm Cathcart opens office in Leeds

Edinburgh-headquartered IT recruitment specialist Cathcart Associates is opening a new base in Leeds, further expanding its foothold in the north of England. The move follows the success of the firm’s Manchester office, which is projecting 100 per cent turnover year-on-year over the next three years. Cathcart said it was keen to tap into the burgeoning technology scene in the Leeds area. Sam Wason (right, with fellow director Gordon Kaye) said: “The reputation Leeds has as a tech hub is spreading rapidly.”
