Tech giant MHR showcases new technology center in Newcastle, aiming to broaden regional influence and advance AI development
MHR, a leading specialist in HR, payroll, and finance software, has announced the opening of its second UK office in Newcastle upon Tyne. This expansion marks an important milestone in MHR's ambitious growth strategy to deepen its footprint across the UK.
The new office will serve as a technology hub for MHR's software development teams, located in close proximity to universities, startups, and innovation centres. Anton Roe, Chief Executive Officer of MHR, stated, "Our expansion into Newcastle is a strategic move that will enable us to collaborate with the wider tech ecosystem, accelerate product development, and deliver more innovative features and product enhancements."
The tech hub will be focused on driving innovation in AI, with MHR aiming to collaborate with local institutions such as Newcastle University and Northumbria University, as well as startups and innovation hubs like the Centre for Innovation in Health and the Digital Catapult North East. Andrew Watson, Chief Technology Officer at MHR, believes that innovation flourishes when people can collaborate in person.
MHR's move to Newcastle demonstrates the company's resolve to go where talent thrives rather than confining all operations to a single location. Newcastle has become one of the UK's most sought-after tech hubs, offering a rich ecosystem and a wealth of talent and infrastructure.
The proximity of the Newcastle office to local organisations and customers will result in faster delivery of smarter HR and finance solutions and tailored local support. MHR is currently recruiting for positions at its Newcastle office, with candidates encouraged to explore openings on the MHR website.
In addition, MHR's investment in a dedicated tech hub will benefit customers with continual improvements across People and Finance platforms. The company, which pays over 2.8 million people regularly around the world, is also looking to partner with the vibrant technology ecosystem in the North East.
With this expansion, MHR reaffirms its commitment to staying at the forefront of technology and innovation in the HR, payroll, and finance sectors. The company's expansion into Newcastle is set to contribute significantly to the growth and development of the tech industry in the region.
