Software tester secures more than £1m of new business
Birmingham-based software testing company, Edge Testing Solutions, has secured new business worth more than £1m.
The company, one of the UK’s fastest growing and largest independent software testers, has won 10 new contracts, each valued at more than £100,000.
The contracts run across various sectors including retail, finance, education, utilities and the public sector.
The multi-year contracts cover a variety of software testing including managed, functional, performance and automated testing. The work will be conducted from Edge’s Digital Test Hubs in Glasgow and Birmingham.
Brian Ferrie, CEO and founder of Edge Testing, said: “Our strategy to provide clients with a pool of UK-based testers is paying off. We are growing faster than the market for software testing, and this is primarily down to the people and processes we have put in place to deliver software quality services that are competitively priced and well-resourced.
“Edge Testing’s experienced management team is leading our expansion across the UK, and we are looking to continue to grow from our current base of 250 employees through the remainder of 2017 and 2018.”
The firm is anticipating growth of more than 30% this year, with a £20m revenue target set for 2020.
New clients include: Griffiths Waite, Sage, Your Housing Group, a high street retailer, Scottish energy supplier, contract caterer and qualifications body, in addition to existing clients such as Big Lottery Fund and Student Loans Company.
