Stealth Intelligence plot Bulgarian presence following funding
Stockport-based digital marketing experts Stealth Intelligence are expanding with new technology following funding from NatWest.
The firm now plan to open a Bulgarian office and will use this round of funding to add to their service offering to help clients understand the profile of their website traffic.
Stealth was established by Andrew Stubbs and Stephen Dimsey in April 2009, and has reportedly grown at 700& year-on-year.
Andrew said: “Although we’d had a lot of interest from investors in the project, we wanted to remain fully in control of the business and avoid giving away any equity; the only way to do this was through funding from the bank.
“The new technology is a global product and will offer our customers the competitive advantages they require in the increasingly aggressive landscapes of search engines and associated marketing activities – resulting in significant increases of online revenue and audience reach.”
Through NatWest relationship manager, Gavin Flynn, the pair managed to secure a loan backed by the Government’s Funding for Lending sheme and say the resulting growth will benefit the local supply chain.
Andrew added: “Gavin has proven himself to be what I consider to be Best-of-Breed, available – night and day – with a passion for our success that I would never have expected from an external party, especially a bank.”
Gavin sadi: “Stealth Intelligence is an exciting business which has a great deal of influence in its industry. Andrew and Stephen are very focused and entrepreneurial with big ambitions for their company, which will be realised with the additional funding. I’m looking forward to seeing where they take the company next.”
