Purple moves to new HQ ahead of recruitment drive

A £5.4m staff recruitment investment by Wi-Fi company Purple has prompted a move to bigger premises that will house its expanding team of workers.

Purple expects to hire an additional 200 people worldwide, including 10 new staff members for its new Oldham HQ.

The company moved from Ashton-under-Lyne where it operated for four years, starting its commercial life with just six employees.

Purple now has on its books 20 million users worldwide with deployments in 73 countries and offices based in the US, Spain, Chile, Singapore and Australia.

Purple's Wi-Fi solution generates real-time analytics and marketing for venues and businesses by measuring the behaviour of visitors and turning physical spaces into intelligent ones.

Gavin Wheeldon, CEO, said: "Purple has experienced unbelievable growth over the last few years and our relocation to a bigger and better headquarters allows us to continue building momentum.

"The move not only offers staff a lot more space but marks a dynamic new chapter for Purple."
