Landmark move sees tech firm expand into county

Skipton-based Meritec has expanded into Lancashire, opening an office within Burnley's Landmark building.

The company, which also has an office in Warrington, specialises in software and automation services, including digital transformation and business process outsourcing.

A new sales team has been put in place to support the expansion, headed up by Alex Abbey in the head of sales and marketing role, bringing more than 20 years of experience.

Adam Wilkinson, managing director of Meritec said: “Burnley is a thriving town with lots of opportunities for growth and having this new base will ensure we can continue to expand and pursue new business opportunities for both the private and public sector.

"With over 27 years in industry we are fiercely proud of the model we have created and more importantly, the difference we have made over the years with intelligent, bespoke solutions to industry and the time certainly feels right to open our third base.

“We’ve been keen to put roots in the red rose county for some time now and it already feels like home having worked with some incredible businesses and joined some inspiring community initiatives too.

"We have a fantastic new team in place at Burnley Landmark, with ambitious growth plans to spread the Meritec message far and wide and we are feeling buoyant about the future.”
