"Launching our Newcastle office marks the start of another exciting chapter in the Credera story," says Chris Dean, Credera's CEO in the UK. "We believe that the city's growing tech scene will open the door to new and exciting opportunities for our people and clients alike, and we look forward to welcoming new and diverse perspectives to our community."

"Credera's mission is to make an extraordinary impact on our clients, our people, and our community, and following our arrival in the city, we intend to do exactly that."

"We're absolutely delighted to welcome Credera to the region; 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 to locate in Newcastle," said Jen Hartley, Director of Invest Newcastle. "Credera's arrival in the region is significant in terms of our region's reputation as a home of choice for digital and tech sector businesses and is a testament to the quality reputation the region has established worldwide. That reputation will be further boosted by having the name of Credera as part of the sector. We will continue to support their teams as they work to put down roots in the area and reach out to potential team members with their offering of high-quality roles across a range of disciplines."
