Tyneside technology consultancy Opencast has marked 10 years in business by launching a drive to create more than 200 jobs, opening three city hubs and expanding into a new head office.
Opencast Software was founded in 2012 when Mike O’Brien left his job with a global digital business to set up Opencast at Hoults Yard in Byker with Charlie Hoult, armed with just a laptop and a phone.
Mr O’Brien and Mr Hoult had met at the gates of the school where their respective twins attended, and set out on a mission to create a new way of doing technology consulting.
