Hinckley- based business reports exceptional growth for 2018

Hinckley based employee engagement and digital solutions firm, Workvine has reported exceptional growth of 167% year-on-year according to the company’s 2018 financial data. This comes amid reports of the negative impacts an uncertain Brexit climate might bring for SMEs. With a study by academics at The University of St Andrews concluding that small and medium sized businesses are most likely to face obstacles in the months looming, Workvine is a clear example bucking the trend. The University’s analysis reported that among the main detriments, reduced capital investment will hit SMEs in particular, weakening levels of expansion and development. However, the positive growth Workvine is experiencing, demonstrates there is in fact real potential for other SMEs in the region too. Commenting on the growth for his sixth start-up, Founder of Workvine, Adrian Hobbs said: “Coming into year two as a company, I can safely say we have gone from strength to strength, experiencing waves of continued success. This growth of 167% is testament to our hard work and commitment since day one. Workvine’s mission is to help companies attract, recruit, engage & train today’s and tomorrow’s employees. We are broadly achieving this with a narrow focus on humanising corporate communication through the latest technology, our employee communication app, coupled with our cloud based recruitment Applicant Tracking Software ‘TalentVine’. The two products are proving be very popular with our customers on a digital transformation journey. Having taken on 10 new members of staff and achieving real growth in sales, I can certainly anticipate a further boost in our annual turnover. The key to our success is in understanding our customers and their practical needs as well as the innovative culture we encourage at Workvine.” “We are definitely motivated to grow and it’s important to ‘think big’. So far, we have enabled over 100,000 employees in 30 countries and five continents to communicate via the app and this is only the start. I am proud of our team’s achievements and while we are still learning more each day as a new start-up we certainly have a vision for the future; helping to grow the UK workforce digitally means strengthening UK business to compete in the digital marketplace of tomorrow.”
