Conferma, the Manchester-based fintech which has pioneered virtual payment technology, has relocated to its new office space in Towers Business Park, Didsbury.
The office was formally opened on 28th February at an official ribbon cutting event with Conferma’s global teams from the UK, Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific in attendance.
A multi-million-pound investment for the business, the relocation took place alongside a major rebranding initiative, where Conferma unveiled its new mission to make it simple for any company, anywhere in the world, to connect and do business.
With a focus on flexible working, the 15,000 sqft space over two floors of Ocean House has been designed to support the rapidly growing business of over 150, people, with further growth expected in the next 12 months, taking total headcount to over 200.
Jason Lalor, Conferma’s CEO, explained the motivation behind moving to the new workspace: “It’s a place to develop an energised and collaborative environment. Conferma is a business full of world-class people and technology expertise that has made genuinely ground-breaking strides in payment technology over the last two decades.”
“The next couple of years will focus on capitalising on what has made Conferma so great while maximising the opportunity ahead. We might have been a small fintech from Manchester, but we’ve had a global footprint, working with the biggest names in payments. The challenge is to take the business to the next level and the process of making Conferma fit for the future has involved finding a place that was designed to allow our people to grow and realise their potential.”
Manchester-based commercial interior designers, Intrinsic, were tasked with designing a workspace that delivered on Conferma’s flexible requirements and new ethos.
Kathryn Mitchell, Director at Intrinsic, said: “We were delighted to be able to collaborate with Conferma on its mission to achieve a fluid workspace design where colleagues can connect and feel part of something really big. The space has been completely transformed from an empty shell to a thriving workplace that fosters cross-team collaboration, creating atmosphere that builds energy, culture, and connection.”
