Stockport-based tendering firm Cracker123 eyes up international growth following IFB2016

Translation and tendering services firm Cracker123 is expecting its portfolio of national and international clients to grow as a direct result of exhibiting at the International Festival for Business 2016.

The Stockport-headquartered company said it is working on turning more than 20 serious leads into deals after attending the festival, with interest in its services expressed by businesses from as far afield as Germany and China.

Additionally, the firm has agreed a verbal memorandum of understanding with a South African IT services business interested in using Cracker123’s tendering services for contracts in various Southern African states.

Cracker123 gives businesses access to public sector contracts from all over the world, allowing them to submit a tender in English before translating it into the required language.

Paul Horan, the director of Cracker123, commented: “IFB2016 has been a fantastic platform for the company to make connections and raise awareness of the business and our services.

“We’ve secured 20 serious leads that we’re confident will translate into tangible deals and we’re delighted with the level of interest in our services.”

He continued: “Having access to a number of international delegations and visitors during the festival has definitely helped us to boost global awareness and understanding of our product and we look forward to securing more leads and seeing those mature into deals over the last week of IFB2016.”

Liverpool’s Mayor, Joe Anderson, hailed Cracker123 as a firm with a “very strong proposition”.

He commented: “Innovative, resourceful companies like Cracker123 that help businesses tap into and access global markets are a perfect fit for IFB2016.

“IFB2016 provides a great opportunity for UK businesses to mix with a huge range of international companies from a diverse variety of sectors – providing a rich global melting pot that enables connections to be made, leads to be developed, and deals to be done, right on our doorstep.”
