Growing Newcastle tech firm whyaye ltd has been snapped up by EY as part of the global accounting giant’s investment in consulting services.
Based in the Toffee Factory in Ouseburn, whyaye was founded by Maureen Robson Norman, Anna Bisset and Lisa Smith, who met while working on a Royal Bank of Scotland project in 2014, to bring a new approach to the UK consultancy landscape.
The company last year expanded from Hoults Yard into the bigger base in Ouseburn, having taken on new staff in tandem with growing numbers of new clients. The company is a consulting services provider for the ServiceNow platform, which combines business data and processes into one services management solution. In the last year, whyaye has seen staff numbers increase from around 60 to more than 100 employees across the UK.
