CreateFuture has today been unveiled as the new name of the digital consultancy and delivery partner formerly known as xDesign, following an extensive rebrand. To coincide with its new look and name, CreateFuture has also announced the expansion of its UK presence by officially launching its new offices in Manchester and London.
The news follows a year of positive momentum for the Edinburgh-headquartered company which over the last year has acquired innovation and design agency, CreateFuture - from which it now takes its new name - whilst attracting minority investment from Soho Square Capital to support its UK expansion plans. Recently the company was also given the number one ranking in GP Bullhound’s prestigious Northern Tech Awards, confirming it as the Fastest Growing Tech Company in the North - following impressive revenue growth of 119% in FY23.
Talking about the new name and brand, Founder and CEO, Euan Andrews, said:
“CreateFuture is a name that truly resonates with our vision and aspirations as a business. We’re not just another faceless digital company, we’re a full-service digital consultancy that’s home to a broad range of talent and capability. Whether strategists, engineers, creatives, cloud specialists or product designers, our people are passionate ‘doers’ who are focused on our clients’ biggest challenges today, whilst supporting them to create exceptional outcomes for their users tomorrow. Put simply, we’re all about creating tomorrow, together, today.
“As well as unveiling our new name and brand, the launch of our new offices in Manchester and London only adds to the buzz that currently surrounds the company. Both cities are home to a large number of our clients, as well as being huge centres of global tech investment. Our presence in both is vital as we continue on our growth journey and with our mission to build digital solutions that have real-world impacts.”
xDesign’s new Manchester office is located in the city centre and is headed up by Mark Dore, CreateFuture’s Head of North England. He joins CreateFuture from competitor Accenture and will be responsible for bolstering the company’s presence across Northern England - also overseeing operations out of the company’s Leeds office.
Talking about the CreateFuture’s new Manchester office, Mark, said:
“Launching our Manchester office is yet another huge step forward in the CreateFuture story. Manchester has always been the engine room of innovation in the UK, and is officially the biggest tech hub outside of London. It’s no surprise then that CreateFuture wants a piece of the action to continue the positive momentum it's started in the north of the UK. The recent GP Bullhound Northern Tech Awards win is testament to our commitment and ambition for expansion in the region.
“We know that a strong team dynamic is critical to success. Expanding our physical presence in Manchester and London will support us in further consolidating our client relationships; help us play an even bigger role in local tech communities, and provide our teams with a space where they can come together, collaborate on client challenges - and most importantly - have fun in the process.”
