Software Firm Creates New Jobs After Sales Increase

CoreBlue in Plymouth was founded by current managing director Lewis Boyles-White five years ago and has had success in 32 countries and praised by some of the world’s technology giants, such as Amazon.

The business, based on the outskirts of Plymouth, is also working with larger tech firms too, such as Propi, property investment platform, and Move Mee, being called the equivalent “to the car rental industry what Uber is to taxis”.

The firm, which employs 11 people, undertakes work under its own CoreBlue name, but also on a white label basis, making a product but with someone else selling it, with other agencies in the UK and internationally.

Some of their ground-breaking projects includes the ability to unlock a car from your phone.

And it is recruiting now with various positions available for highly-skilled and well-paid developers, and plans to growth further with more similarly highly skilled jobs expected in the very near future as the current new business pipeline develops.

Managing Director of CoreBlue, Lewis Boyles-White said: “We really want to develop. Our bottleneck is delivery, and so we will be looking to scale up the team here. We have doubled in size, mostly tripled, and want to do that again.”

CoreBlue has already introduced a partnership with the University of Plymouth in a “complementary relationship”, offering internships that often lead to full-time job offers.

Mr Boyles-White said about 70% of the businesses work comes from customers in London or abroad – including Europe, South America, Saudi Arabia, India and the USA – but being located in the South West of England gives it a competitive edge.

“We have an advantage that we can deliver very competitively into the market by being based in Plymouth,” he said. “We are not too far from London, but it’s more expensive to deliver in London.”
