Tech consultancy AND Digital is launching its second office in Scotland next month.
It will be located in Glasgow and follows on from the rapid expansion of a first outpost in Edinburgh, which opened last year.
Taking office space in George Square, the Glasgow space aims to replicate what has been achieved in Edinburgh by creating 100 new tech jobs for analysts, developers and designers, across a range of levels, during the next 12 months.
AND Digital’s approach is to help businesses close their digital skills gaps by working together with clients to build digital products and up-skill their people.
The recent launch of the new Digital Strategy for Scotland highlighted the acceleration of digital business models during the pandemic, finding that overall 73% of businesses shifted to digital to provide goods and services.
Companies were forced to do things in very short order that their transformation roadmaps had said would take many months or even years.
The report also identified sectoral skills gaps relating to digital technology and raised the importance and urgency of further digital transformation across the economy.
Paramjit Uppal, chief executive and founder of AND Digital, said: “Scottish businesses have shown tremendous grit and determination over the past 12 months as they have sought to reconcile their business models to the difficulties posed by the pandemic.
“We launched our Edinburgh club at the cusp of the first lockdown and have built it from the ground up working remotely as a club and with our clients.”
AND Digital works with clients across a range of sectors, including: financial services, media, telecommunications, retail, hospitality and the public sector. It has 11 offices, or 'clubs' across the UK.
