Record half-year growth drives sales to £6.1m at Manchester software firm Godel

Software development firm Godel has achieved record revenue growth as half-year sales leapt 61%.

The Manchester-based company’s turnover rose to £6.1m between January and June this year, up from £3.8m during the same period in 2016.

H1 2017 saw Godel expand its teams to implement new capabilities for a growing client base that includes travel business Jet2.com, appliances retailer AO.com, information services group Experian and British conglomerate Virgin.

During the period, Godel also secured deals with high street brand The White Company and online firm Rentalcars.com.

Godel chief exec Neil Turvin commented: “We very quickly become part of our clients software development teams – working closely with the in-house teams – and far from finding that customers tell us what to do, we often suggest ways to do things that are adopted as best practice.

“It’s a time of huge digital change when businesses of all types in all markets are being driven by the need to move their operations to the cloud to take advantage of the benefits it brings: agility, scalability, cost benefits, innovation and business growth.”

He added: “That’s what Godel does best.”

Speaking further, Neil explained how the growing uptake of cloud-based technology will benefit Godel.

He said: “In the next few years, the cloud will be at the core of every organisation’s delivery making them digitally native businesses and putting technology at the centre of what the business does and how it operates.

“Every growing company, no matter how old or in which industry it operates, will have digital delivery at its heart in order to grow and prosper in line with demand – we are at the forefront of helping many of the UK’s leading brands achieve just that.”

Godel is based in City Tower, Manchester.
