We have seen significant growth in the past 12 months, with our team growing from a team of six to 27. The announcement is testament to the strength of our solution, and an indicator of our projected growth in the next two years. Today, we have offices in Cork, London and Amsterdam with further expansion into Germany in 2018.”
