Tech agency opens new office in Bristol
Fast-growing technology agency Thought Quarter has opened its second UK office in Bristol.
The office in Berkeley Square, Clifton, is part of its long-term growth plans to support private and third sector organisations.
At the official opening of the new office, the company was welcomed to the city by guest speakers Victoria Matthews, membership director at Business West; James Goodall, board member of Business in the Community and head of sales South West and Wales at Enterprise Rent-A-Car; and Tom Batten, head of consultancy at Future Leap.
Thought Quarter, whose other office is in Cornwall, has grown by 70 per cent in the last year.
The company has achieved significant success in providing bespoke and high return on investment technology solutions – from e-commerce management to customer experience optimisation systems – for ambitious organisations that are focussed on bringing about positive change societally and environmentally.
Clients include leading companies in the South West such as waste removal services provider Wascle, high speed broadband network provider Wildanet, and Kensa, the UK’s leading heat pump specialists.
Said Allanah Armondi, people and culture director and joint founder: “We’ve been genuinely overwhelmed by the reception we have had by the Bristol community. Bristol is the perfect location for our second office as the city has a strong sense of purpose and a great tech community. The city is full of organisations that want to make the world a better place for everyone, and we’re here to support them.”
Managing director and co-founder Samuele Armondi, added: “Opening our Bristol office is a really exciting step for Thought Quarter. We’re really looking forward to being part of the city’s community and contributing our experience and skills. Our growth means that we can work with even more changemakers to fuel their missions with game-changing tech that maximises the positive impact they have on our world.”
One company to benefit from Thought Quarter’s technology solutions is Livin, a major not-for-profit housing association, providing high quality and adaptable homes to enhance the lives of its tenants.
Amongst the work completed for the housing association was the creation of an online portal and self-service system, which significantly enhanced customer service level whilst drastically reducing calls to the call centre.
Thought Quarter’s work has resulted in a saving of over 12,000 people hours for the not-for-profit organisation.
At the opening of the new office, it was announced that Thought Quarter will be teaming up with leading sustainability consultancy Future Leap to undertake research amongst the city’s organisations to understand the current digital sustainability of business operations. The study’s findings will be used to create a guide to sustainable best practice in the digital space.
