INFINITY Works, the software consultancy, has opened a new office in Edinburgh after winning a second major client in the Scottish financial services industry.
The fast-growing firm has leased private offices at WeWork in George Street to base its team of software engineers, technical architects and technical leads.
The firm employs 10 people in the Scottish capital and expects to double its headcount “over the coming months”.

The company specialises in large-scale, critical IT systems and works with blue-chip organisations on digital transformation programmes, and helps lenders in financial services to grow by leveraging the latest cloud technologies within the constraints of a heavily regulated sector.
Infinity Works won its first banking client in Edinburgh in 2017 and has become a key partner for what it described as a household name. The firm has also won a significant new account this summer with another well-known bank headquartered in the city, it said.

Paul Henshaw, co-founder and director of Infinity Works, said: “George Street is a showcase location and will help us to continue to attract great talent in a competitive market.
“While we are no longer technically a start-up, we still try to reflect the start-up culture and mentality and our new set-up keeps that way of working and thinking close to our heart.
“It also allows us to host and sponsor fun meet-ups for the tech community to get together and share knowledge about the latest technologies.” The five-year-old company is headquartered in Leeds with offices in London and Manchester over 400 staff. Revenues will exceed £30 million this year.
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
