The Noledge Group, the Irish cloud ERP solution specialist, has announced it is investing €1.8 million to expand its services in Great Britain. The investment will span three years and include the creation of 10 jobs in Newcastle.
The Noledge Group incorporates Envisage, a leading Sage Partner in Ireland, and OSSM, an Oracle NetSuite Solution Provider, and will provide its full suite of services to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Great Britain. The portfolio includes Sage Intacct and Sage 200, as well as NetSuite Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions. The Noledge Group has been delivering its own application, developed in-house, to the retail sector in Great Britain for 10 years from its Dublin base which boosts efficiencies for businesses through automated processes.
Following growing demand for its solutions in Great Britain, The Noledge Group decided to establish its first in-market office in Newcastle. The company expects to grow its revenue from €295,000 to €1.2 million within the first 12 months and it forecasts turnover of €3.5 million in Great Britain in the next three years.
The new jobs will be in sales, pre-sales, and consulting, growing the number of employees to 60 across The Noledge Group. Chris Hawley has been appointed as Managing Director for England, Scotland and Wales, and will lead The Noledge Group’s expansion in Great Britain. The group plans to target organisations across industries including process manufacturing, retail, construction, education, distribution, services, and field service management following the expansion.
Driving the demand for The Noledge Group’s services in Great Britain is the increasing need among customers to find smarter ways to manage and grow their businesses through automation and real-time data insights.
The Noledge Group is on an upward growth trajectory, achieving €4.9 million turnover across the business in 2023.
