Welcome to our Manchester office!

Our office here is a blend of ultra-modern glass walkways and light-rich atriums in city’s Ancoats area – formerly an industrial hub with canals and factories, now regenerating into a creative centre, with restaurants, bars and pubs aplenty (it’s been voted the 27th coolest neighbourhood to live in in the world by Time Out magazine).

Near the heart of the city, it’s near a mixture of restaurants and bars such as: Vietshak where you can get a British combo of chips/fries with roasted duck and sticky sauce!

You might catch us after work at seven brothers pub next door, with live music downstairs, great nachos and good place to go to wind down after work. If you fancy authentic pizza, also on the same square there’s Rudy’s.

A few fun facts about the city:

– A worker bee has been the symbol of Manchester for over 150 years, representing the its hard work ethic and the city as a hive of activity.
– Manchester was the workplace of legendary mathematician Alan Turing, the father of modern computing
– Manchester has been the birthplace of a huge chunk of British music history – from Oasis to Joy Division, Happy Mondays to The Stone Roses.

Finally, we cannot forget to mention that it is home to two great football clubs, Manchester City and Manchester United. With the second one having an estimated club fan base of around 659 million fans worldwide. That makes it every 10^th person living in the world a fan of this club.

Ahoy Brno!

Welcome to our office in Brno, Czech Republic.

Established in 2002 the offices has 28 employees and 21 students, and most importantly, Hugo the office dog.

The sunrises in Brno are beautiful, and the city, the country’s second-biggest, is an architectural gem. The city also houses the body of a dragon that was once said to terrorize the city! In reality, it’s a crocodile that had supposedly managed to find its way into the city’s rivers and began snacking on the city’s livestock. As you can tell, we decided it’s safer to have a pet that’s treated as our office dog, rather than inviting a crocodile.
