Harrogate ecommerce developer makes move to Leeds
ECOMMERCE developers Vortex Commerce along with sister company Eralis, are moving to Leeds, and opening up an office in the capital.
The Leeds office is located on the Headrow LS1 opposite The Light shopping centre. Its London office is based at Grosvenor Street in Mayfair.
Its Leeds office will be complete by the end of January, and it plans to hold regular meetups in its specialism, Magneto, the open source ecommerce platform.
The company said the move will allow it to spend more time with clients and establish links with the likes of Leeds University, Kings College and Imperial College of London to further develop our team.
The Mayfair office is now open and is a short distance away from Oxford Circus tube station.
Commercial director James Hyett said of the move: “This is an exciting time for our group of companies who recognise that Leeds is a city of opportunity. The investment, both private and public, is securing the city’s reputation as a desirable corporate destination.
“Our move will hopefully open up new opportunities to us in the way of recruiting experienced business professionals. We’re moving to the prestigious Headrow, widely recognised as one of Leeds’ central locations. We will be occupying the fourth and fifth floor of the building LS1.
“The fourth floor will be an open plan office for Eralis and Vortex, and the fifth floor (top floor) is a fantastic loft space with a rooftop terrace boasting expansive city views. The management team feel that the investment in the top floor, which will be predominately used for industry meet-ups, and as a recreational area for the Vortex and Eralis teams, will be worthwhile investment creating an inclusive and cohesive positive working environment.”
