Yorkshire digital and IT consultancy announces 100 new jobs amid ‘rapid’ growth

A Yorkshire digital and IT consultancy has announced plans to recruit over 100 new roles in the next two years amid ‘rapid’ growth.

Leeds-based Answer, which was originally formed as the Ultimate People Company in 1999, has seen its revenues increase by 40% during the pandemic.

As well as recruiting for 100 new roles, Answer intends to expand its Academy, which over the last six years has ‘fast-tracked’ young people in digital skills in software development, integration, test automation and project management. Currently, more than half of the staff at Answer have graduated from its academy.

Answer is currently working in partnership with the London Medical Imaging and AI Centre for Value-Based Healthcare, and supporting NHS Digital with development and delivery of its Integrating Care Programme.

Gary Parlett, founder and managing director of Answer, said: “Since our move to employee-ownership, Answer has gone from strength to strength. We have put our people at the centre of everything we do, and it means that we have great people doing work they are passionate about.”

He continued: “It’s driving rapid growth across the health, financial services, and wider commercial sectors.

“We are continuing to invest in training our team and building a culture that attracts the best talent in the country. The additional 100 roles we are creating are just the start of our plans for the business.”
