A Nottingham digital agency, which counts Alton Towers, ITV and Santander amongst its clients, has expanded into Hull – a move it says will create five new jobs within 12 months.

Headland, which already works locally with Rollits LLP, Kis-orca and Machine Mart, also has offices in Leeds and Nottingham and will relocate four staff members to its new Hull division in C4DI on the banks of the Humber.

Ken Heptonstall, Headland’s managing director, said: “We’ve represented clients in Hull for many years and it’s always been a great place with huge potential, but 2017 finally feels like the year the city’s digital marketplace will fulfil its potential.”

“The buzz created by the City of Culture badge is enormous, and the local digital tech talent pool is now not only the envy of every other northern city, but is being properly harnessed by the likes of C4DI. All of which means this is the perfect time to make our presence in this great city permanent.”

We’re all very excited to begin work at C4DI, as it really is like no other space we’ve operated from before,” continued Heptonstall.

“You’ve got over 100 digital and tech specialists working in a stunning building that has an extremely strong cutting edge research and development feel about it. We plan to make the most of this unique environment by making Hull and C4DI our hub for inspiration, invention and the development of new commercial products.”
