SHE Software, the Scottish health and safety technology specialist, has more than doubled employee numbers over the past year after expanding overseas and moved into a new base in Lanarkshire to support continued growth.
The firm has increased total employee numbers to 87 from 42 in the last 12 months, helped by opening a base in Chicago.
Workforce numbers in Scotland have increased to 52 from 21. The company moved in to new headquarters in the Scottish Enterprise Technology Park in East Kilbride recently.
Chief executive Matthew Elson said the new space would provide the firm with the room it needed to increase staff headcount to 200 over the next 24 months and maintain the 60 per cent annual compound growth it has seen over the past three years.
The company says its Assure web-based system and mobile app reduces risk for organisations by simplifying health and safety management and is trusted by more than 850 organisations worldwide. It has turnover of around £4 million.
NVM Private Equity provided £3m growth funding for the firm in February. Investment director Charlie Winward said SHE Software provided a great example of the kind of exciting businesses the firm was seeing in Scotland.
SHE Software said then it planned to double the size of the development team in the head office.
The firm opened an office in New Zealand in 2016.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
