Growing digital agency Visualsoft is creating 20 new jobs across its three North offices as part of expansion following a substantial investment.
The eCommerce specialist has announced plans to expand its platform, client success, onboarding and brand teams, resulting in the new jobs across its Newcastle, Stockton and Manchester offices.
The new additions will fill a range of roles to develop and improve Visualsoft’s eCommerce platform, as well as support the digital marketing efforts of the agency’s 1,000-plus client portfolio.
Visualsoft, headquartered in Stockton, has plans to recruit up to eight new developers to its platform team in the first quarter of this year alone, and has further plans to significantly boost its developer headcount over its platform, service delivery and onboarding teams over the coming months, with around 15 vacancies available.
This expansion comes soon after Visualsoft, which employs over 280 people in its Stockton, Newcastle, Manchester and Dubai offices, secured a substantial investment from private equity investor Livingbridge, to fund the continued expansion and innovation of Visualsoft’s proprietary eCommerce platform.
The platform has continued to grow, and as of November 2020 client revenues processed through the platform exceeded more than £1bn in a year for the first time.
Dean Benson, CEO at Visualsoft, said: “Between ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and the continued shift from bricks-and-mortar retail to online, the need for retailers to be able to offer their customers a great online experience has arguably never been higher. This, alongside our continued growth, has sparked the rush of new roles opening up at the business.
“We have been supporting businesses with their online growth for over two decades, and are now in a fantastic place to expand and optimise the service we can offer to our clients. “It’s a great time to welcome fresh, exciting new talent on board to help drive our own growth ambitions and, in turn, those of the businesses we are proud to work with.”
