Newcastle software specialist increases headcount to meet “major” global demand

A software specialist based in the North East which counts RED Driving School, Airbus and Royal IHC among its clients has increased its headcount more than five-fold as it continues to expand to meet global demand.

Boxmodel creates bespoke software solutions for businesses around the world, using the expertise of its in-house team of software engineers to design and build technology-led innovations.

From its base in The Core, part of Newcastle Helix, Boxmodel works with small organisations through to major public sector bodies and international corporates, to deliver solutions to clients’ exact problems and requirements, including web/native apps and bespoke business software.

The business, founded in Newcastle in 2009, has seen significant expansion since 2017 in particular, when founder Alan Easton embarked on a five-year plan to scale up Boxmodel.

Since that time, and particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic, Boxmodel has achieved demand-led growth within its team, increasing from six to 34 “highly skilled” specialists, and achieved its five-year turnover target a year ahead of schedule.

Now, as Boxmodel enters the next phase of its development, the business is building on its reputation for being able to solve software problems that many competitors cannot.

Alan, CEO of Boxmodel, commented: “We have clients coming to us thinking it’s not possible to find a solution because they’ve been told that by other software businesses - but we always say let us decide the impossible. To date, there has been nothing we haven’t been able to do.

“One of our longstanding clients, IHC, said we start where our competitors stop, and I think that’s right. The tougher the problem, the more we excel, and we are trusted by major global names as their technology partner.

“The vast majority of our work comes from existing clients, referrals, or recommendations, because we do what we do exceptionally well. We are as good as anyone in the country, including London, but importantly, we can beat them on expertise, skillset, service and budget.”

Alan believes Boxmodel’s strength lies in its team, with several of its software specialists based around the UK in addition to those at The Core. “The skill we have here is what really separates us. We have a team committed to solving problems and doing amazing things to make the ‘impossible’ possible for our clients,” he added.
