A technology company has moved into new offices in Witney as it continues to experience rapid growth.
CloudKubed recently relocated to bigger premises at the Witney Business and Innovation Centre to develop their rapidly expanding team and support their vision of turning Oxfordshire into a technology hub.
The mayor of Witney, Owen Collins, formally opened the new office space.
CloudKubed provides cloud and digital solutions and has more than quadrupled in size over the last two years.
It is also on track to meet growth plans for 2024
Besides their new Oxfordshire headquarters, the firm also has plans to establish offices in London and Leeds and aims to become a global brand through international expansion.
Martin Sharkey, CloudKubed founder and CEO said: "It’s been an amazing journey so far and our success is testament to the people we have working inside the business and the flexibility of Witney Business and Innovation Centre who have always offered us so much in terms of support, community spirit and a sense of belonging.
"In the early days we didn’t need physical office space, but what was missing was a culture and the only way to achieve that is to physically be together and Witney Business and Innovation Centre offered a certain energy that enabled us to foster this.
"They have always made the space work for us, rather than us having to work around the space and our new, much larger office space is exactly what we needed to expand our impact.”
He added: "From day one it has been in our strategy to establish a technology hub here in Oxfordshire and so it’s exciting to make this an achievable goal and provide wider opportunities for the local community."
Amy Waller, the manager at Witney Business and Innovation Centre said: "I’m delighted that Witney Business and Innovation Centre has been part of CloudKubed’s incredible journey.
"Our fully serviced office spaces are designed to be incubators for small to medium companies, to help accelerate their growth and provide opportunities for networking.
"It’s a great achievement and I hope their success inspires other businesses who are starting out with us."
Mr Collins said: "It’s an amazing trajectory and fantastic to see it all happening here in Witney.
"Quite often when businesses grow that quickly, one thing that is sacrificed in the chase for growth is the small community focus, but you have that embedded in your culture.
"To see this happening in our community in Witney is an absolute delight."
