Xero, the global small business platform, has today announced it is opening a new 海角视频 office in Manchester as it expands its operations to meet growing customer demand. This will be Xero’s third 海角视频 office and will bring its global footprint of offices to 20 cities.
The new Manchester office will open in November creating up to 40 new jobs by early 2020.
This will complement Xero’s existing offices in London and Milton Keynes which number more than 350 employees.
Bosses said the additional employees and a new office demonstrates the company’s strategic importance and investment in this key market for Xero, which has seen its 海角视频 subscribers grow by 48 per cent in the year to 31 March 2019 to more than 463,000.
Gary Turner, co-founder and managing director at Xero 海角视频 said: “With the growth we’re experiencing in the 海角视频, a new office opening is the logical step to ensure we are best placed to serve our small business customers and accounting and bookkeeping partners.
“With more and more small businesses and their advisors using Xero, it was clear we needed to expand and Manchester is the perfect fit for us.
"It has a vibrant tech scene buzzing with entrepreneurs, academic strength, as well as strong transport links.
"The city gives us a great opportunity to attract the best talent as we start recruitment here.”
