Staffordshire-based Parker Software in major recruitment drive
New departments and senior staff to manage increasing demand for digital engagement solutions
Stoke on Trent, United Kingdom, 17th November 2015: Digital engagement specialist Parker Software has announced significant expansion to its UK operations with record take on figures for staff in 2014/15.
Over the last three years it has more than tripled its workforce, and in the last 12 months has created dedicated technical, marketing and customer service teams to manage its growing list of clients. Senior members of staff, including a sales director and operations manager, have been recruited to oversee departments, and a new professional services division now offers a full range of pre-sales, installation, training, and post-sales support.
“The past 12 months have been the busiest in our history” said Howard Williams, Marketing Director at Parker Software. “Reshaping the company was important to react to increased demand, allow us to better serve our customers and expand the business. We have ambitious plans for the next 12 months, so this leaves us well placed to deliver in an exciting growth market.”
Over the next year Parker Software will further expand its technical, sales and marketing divisions. It is also opening a new sales office in Manchester at the turn of the year, and a new European office in 2016.
Despite this expansion, Parker Software will remain close to its roots. With a headquarters based in Stoke-on-Trent, it continues to attend local events to promote youth career development in the region. It regularly takes on placement students from nearby Staffordshire University, and will continue to offer work experience opportunities to the local community.
“We’ve grown from a small, one-room business in Staffordshire to a globally recognised brand, but it’s important to remember where you’re from” Howard continued. “Our Stoke-on-Trent based HQ is very much the main hub for Parker Software. We’re very proud of that, and will continue to support our local community.”
