A US consultancy business will create 200 jobs in Newcastle city centre as it opens up new offices in The Catalyst building on the Helix site.
Dallas-based Credera has called Newcastle the 'best kept secret in tech' and has chosen the location next to the National Innovation Centre for Ageing and the National Innovation Centre for Data for its latest base - adding to locations elsewhere in the UK, the US, India and Singapore. Inward investment organisations NewcastleGateshead Initiative and Invest Newcastle have worked with Credera to secure the significant coup for the city.
Jen Hartley, director of Invest Newcastle at NewcastleGateshead Initiative (NGI), said: “We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Credera to the region and to Newcastle Helix where they’ll be part of a vibrant eco system of innovation, data and ageing. We’ve worked side by side with the team and with the wider Omnicom Group, since autumn 2021 when we helped to build the case for this global digital and tech player’s move to Newcastle.
