Software specialist relocating HQ to Liverpool following office acquisition

Skelmersdale-based asset management software company, CoreRFID, is relocating its headquarter operations to Liverpool following its acquisition of office space in a popular city centre business park.

The company has acquired a 2,600 sq ft unit in Connect Business Village, on Derby Road, for an undisclosed sum.

The move gives the company a location close to the city centre and public transport links and additional space to accommodate the growth of the business.

It plans to move its operation from its current leased premises on White Moss Business Park once refurbishment works have been completed this May.

Established in 2007, CoreRFID specialises in asset management and RFID-based software with clients including Ocado, Serco and Syngenta.

It says its flagship product, CheckedOK, is the market leader in lifting and safety inspections and helps companies to comply efficiently with increasingly demanding regulations on a global basis.

The company expects to create five jobs in the year ahead.

Managing director, Munzi Ali, said: “Connect Business Village is a thriving business district with excellent public transport links, providing easy access for staff and enabling us to minimise our carbon footprint.

“As a software business, our growth relies heavily on the skills of our team.

“The location in central Liverpool will make it easier for us to attract software talent and offer staff the opportunity to build their careers in one of the UK’s most exciting and vibrant cities.”

The unit was acquired from a private investor.
