Tech firm expands by opening new NW office to support BBC contract

Specialist technology company, Spyrosoft, is opening an office in Manchester, which will initially support 50 staff.

The site, in the Digital World Centre building, Salford Quays, will support close neighbour, the BBC, with Digital Engineering Augmentation services in the UK.
According to the cooperation agreement signed in December 2023, Spyrosoft will act as an external partner providing technology expertise and resources to expand the BBC’s media technology teams in the UK.

As part of the initial three-year collaboration with the BBC, the Spyrosoft team will assist in delivering exceptional digital transformation initiatives, world class content, and a remarkable user experience – all with a focus on reaping the benefits of sustainable technology.

This collaboration is also a significant milestone for Spyrosoft, as it involves expansion in terms of both resources and locations.

For the assignments/projects, Spyrosoft plans to add to the strength of its existing UK based technology division by hiring additional software testers – in the field of quality assurance – software engineers and other key media technology resources.

To maintain and underpin the partnership, Spyrosoft will be opening new regional offices in both Manchester and London and Manchester.

While retaining its head office in Bournemouth, these new locations will provide both local contacts for the BBC as well as a local base for Spyrosoft employees engaged with the client.
