Quantiv, which delivers software and technology solutions for businesses, has made a recent announcement that it will acquire more office space for its headquarters in the Greater Manchester area instead of shifting its headquarters to London.

Currently located in Altrincham, the company is finalizing negotiations with Bruntwood property occupant for acquiring more office space in its existing location. The company is in need of extra office space because it is expected to enrol about 200 new employees in the coming five years. At present, the company has 32 employees on its payroll.

The existing office space that Quantiv now occupies is approximately 3,000 sq ft. It is looking to rent desk space of an additional 2,000 sq ft very soon, and another 5,000 sq ft as per requirement in the coming years.

Quantiv is responsible for the development of a new and innovative software that companies like Jack Wills and PHS Group are known to be using. Even the Ministry of Defence is using Quantiv’s new system for its operations.

Development and investment agency MIDAS has been responsible to a large extent in convincing Quantiv to stay in Altrincham, as it highlighted the myriad benefits of staying in Cheshire, like easy availability of a skilled workforce and cutbacks on cost that a shifting would otherwise entail.

CEO of Quantiv Mike Cribb, who founded the company in 1995, said in this regard that the scenario of information and communication technologies in Manchester is quite promising. Phenomenal growth in this sector is expected in coming years, and this will help Quantiv in acquiring better infrastructure and skilled personnel in order to achieve its goals of future expansion.

Cribb added that with Quantiv located in Manchester, the city will lead most of the other UK cities in technological innovation and will be the future business destination for bigger ICT companies who will be willing to shift their offices here.
