Australian software development company expands operations to Newcastle

Spydertech, an Australian software development company from New South Wales have expanded its operations globally and have landed with an initial virtual office at The Core building in Newcastle Upon Tyne. This marks the start of the company establishing its global HQ in the city.

The SpyderTech company was borne from a successful history of creating powerful workflow management systems for a large Australian-owned property maintenance service provider. Customers asked for SpyderTech solutions to enhance their own business workflows, which SpyderTech achieved by engaging and collaborating directly with users.

With assistance through the North of Tyne Combined Authority Inward Investment Capacity Fund, SpyderTech has been supported by Offshore Wind Sector Specialist, and DBT Global Entrepreneur Programme Dealmaker, Dr Alan Lowdon OBE, to establish its presence in the North East of England.

The funded programme seeks to bring more investment to Newcastle, North Tyneside and Northumberland focusing around the digital, health and life sciences, electrification, corporate services and offshore wind sectors.

The company will make The Core, in Newcastle Upon Tyne, its first home in the UK by initially taking a virtual office to house its very first UK member of staff starting imminently. The company’s ambition is to scale up from this position and, within 18-24 months, to have a physical office in the city with around 15-20 members of staff.

SpyderTech understands the challenges of looking for, finding, and using an efficient asset management planning system. It’s not just Australian entities that struggle to manage their assets and supporting administration in an efficient manner, it’s a worldwide issue.

Ricci Schwarzler CEO and founder of SpyderTech said: “We at SpyderTech are very excited to be launching our innovative workflow management system in the UK and more specifically choosing the North East as our UK base. We see the region to be an exciting, vibrant area that will support inward investment and will be a perfect springboard to enable us to meet and exceed our planned expansion.”

Dr Alan Lowdon OBE, Dealmaker, DBT (formerly DIT) Global Entrepreneur Programme & Senior Sector Specialist Offshore Wind - Advance Northumberland said; “I first met the founder and CEO, Ricci Schwarzler, at London Tech Week last year (June 2022). This was in my capacity as a Dealmaker (Entrepreneur-in-Residence) for (the now) DBT Global Entrepreneur Programme.
