Headcount hits three figures at expanding software consultancy
A Leeds-based agile business transformation specialist, with an annual turnover of £16m just over three years after start-up, has celebrated the appointment of its 100th recruit.
Burendo provides clients in the UK and overseas with experts skilled in tackling software development challenges in short sprints before rapidly reviewing the results to determine the next step in the project.
It was founded in 2018 by Gary Green, Austen Bell and Glenn Crossley who also collaborated to launch the Blended Agile Delivery (BAD) Toolkit, providing open access to agile techniques and processes.
Despite the obstacles to growth posed to many businesses by the pandemic, Burendo has continued to gain new clients and expand employee numbers.
Gary Green, the firm’s people director, said: “We are proud of every one of our team and delighted to celebrate this landmark moment.
“Our high-skilled professionals work in challenging environments and on complex projects with some of the brightest minds and agile thinkers.
“With many new roles being advertised on our website, Burendo looks forward to increasing our strength even further in the weeks and months ahead.”
Austen Bell, operations director, said: “We have travelled a long way in a short space of time. Our success comes from harnessing the pool of talent in the Burendo family and having a clear plan and direction at every level of the business.
“To build on what has been achieved, we must stay lean, efficient and responsive to customer needs.”
Glenn Crossley, Commercial Director, added: “Alongside Austen and Gary, I have enjoyed being part of a business finding pragmatic solutions to the business challenges that are out there.
“We are surrounded by a team of incredibly talented people and I look forward to building new relationships and working with organisations to turn possibilities into outcomes.”
