20 new jobs created as IT firm picks Glasgow for Scottish HQ

TransACT Technology Solutions is set to create 20 new jobs in Glasgow, after establishing its Scottish headquarters in the city.

The move comes as part of an international expansion for the London-based IT firm, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.

The digital transformation specialist is now located on West George Street, with recently-appointed director Duncan Girvan running the Scottish operation.

Offices in Dublin and Gibraltar have also been recently opened, along with plans to launch a North American hub later this year.

“As we look to broaden our reach, it makes sense to set up our Scottish headquarters in the country’s largest city,” said Girvan, who is already overseeing a recruitment drive for areas including cloud, security and operations.

“There is a robust pipeline of talent in Glasgow, with the city offering cost-effective office space, while being well networked throughout the UK and Europe.

“As a proud Glaswegian, I’m delighted to have our Scottish base in the city and transACT will help the local economy prosper by creating a slew of professional jobs while winning local, national and international contracts.”

Global sales director Gavin Kilpatrick said: “We will also be focusing on the north of England from our Glasgow hub and aim to play a pivotal role within the Scottish and northern English business communities, working to address the skills gaps and support their digital transformation journeys by disrupting the industry with our innovative technical expertise.”

Early projects will see transACT working with Invest Glasgow, the Scottish Council for Development and Industry, Business Gateway, Strathclyde University and Skills Development Scotland, as well as the Institute of Directors Scotland.
