As the North East tech sector continues to grow - the focus shifts to the demand for highly skilled and experienced developers.
A report by tech Nation states that the community is ‘worth almost £1bn and is growing twice as fast as the rest of the economy’. Already home to the likes of Bede Gaming, Ubisoft, Mkodo, Orange Bus, VisualSoft, Tombola and Epic Games; the area now has the addition of award-winning Gamevy.
High-quality producers of real-money games, Gamevy, has existing offices in Berlin, London and Bilbao – and have chosen Newcastle as their new studio location due to the quality of talent in the area.
North East DigiTech talent recruitment specialist Ronald James group was chosen by Gamevy to source and provide skilled developers from their extensive candidate list. James Blackwell, CEO at Ronald James said: “Helping Gamevy to build a new team in Newcastle is a huge privilege for us. Our city is full of talent and this is a great opportunity for highly skilled developers and designers to work for a forward thinking and innovative organisation. We have already placed five new developers and we are looking forward to helping the team grow.”
Dan Rough, chief operating officer at Gamevy said: “We have an exceptional tech team – and it means we’re only ever looking for exceptional people to join us. We were really impressed by the people we met in Newcastle and we’re convinced that we’re going to build a vibrant, entrepreneurial games studio here.”
