Tech Unicorn joins Silicon North

The North is producing some of the most ambitious businesses in the country.

Building them is one challenge.
Scaling them is another.
It takes a team to do that. It takes a joined-up working tech economy ecosystem - removing fragmentation and bringing great people together.

That's why we're so pleased to welcome Employment Hero as a Lead Partner of Silicon North.

Pictured are Kevin Fitzgerald, Managing Director UK, and Maisie Goss, VP Marketing UK.

Employment Hero has grown from startup to one of the world's leading employment platforms, supporting more than 350,000 businesses globally with hiring, HR, payroll and workforce management.

With 37,000 UK customers, for Silicon North's tech ecosystem the fit is obvious.

As Employment Hero put it:
"Employment Hero joined Silicon North because the North is where some of the UK's most ambitious businesses are being built - and we want to be part of that conversation. As an all-in-one HR, payroll, and hiring platform built for growing businesses, Silicon North's SME-heavy community is exactly our audience.

We're here to help Northern businesses hire faster, pay people right, and build teams that stick around."

Silicon North exists to connect the people, companies, organisations and opportunities shaping the Northern technology economy. It's the North's ecosystem super-connector.

Employment Hero has built a platform used by hundreds of thousands of businesses around the world, helping them tackle one of the biggest challenges any growing company faces: building and managing great teams.

Their audience looks a lot like ours. Their mission aligns closely with what we're building. It makes for a very natural partnership. Huge thank you to Maisie and Kevin for the support. We're looking forward to working together.

This is how positive ecosystem-minded organisations operate.
