Northcoders "delighted" as secures two consultancy contract wins

(Alliance News) - Technology training provider Northcoders Group PLC said Tuesday that it has won deals to provide digital training to Skipton Building Society and Manchester Airports Group.

Northcoders said its consultancy brand Counter has secured the contracts.

The Manchester-based firm said it has secured terms for a second consultancy contract for financial services firm Skipton. The deal with the owner of Manchester Airport, meanwhile, followed an "initial six-month engagement". A three-month contract extension has been agreed.

"The embedded team of technologists will be working on a project to enhance MAG's three airport websites, and delivering an improved mobile experience," Northcoders said.

Northcoders Chief Executive Officer Chris Hill added: "We are delighted to announce the new contracts for our consultancy division, reflecting the recent progress made by Counter in disrupting the traditional, hire, train, deploy market.

"This demonstrates the successful diversification of Northcoders revenues as we mature as a business, addressing the UK's significant digital skills gap in private and public services and meeting technology transformation aspirations over the coming years."

Northcoders shares rose 0.4% to 119.50 pence in London on Tuesday morning.
