Sunderland company adds more jobs to workforce in major expansion as it doubles in size
‘So much ambition and so much to do’
A Sunderland technology firm has more than doubled in size and created new jobs in a major growth plan.
Six jobs have been created at Doxford-based Workprove which is moving into larger offices to cater for its expanding team with new roles created in sales and marketing.
Emma Antunes, head of marketing at Workprove, is one of the new recruits. She said: “It’s such an exciting time to join Workprove, there’s so much ambition and so much to do, but it’s a great team and everyone is working together to take the company to the next level.”
As part of the growth journey, Workprove has been renamed and rebranded from its original name Moralbox.
The company has secured £450,000 in funding from Northstar Ventures’ Venture Sunderland Fund and £250,000 from Maven CP, while last year, it secured £150,000 from Creative UK’s North East Fund and a further £50,000 from angel investors.
Workprove is a software platform designed to support organisations across multiple sectors with training and compliance management.
CEO Gordon MacPherson said: “Our focus has always been on building technology that gives companies and organisations confidence in the skills of their workforce. The impressive team that we’ve taken such care to build will continue to enhance and develop our products, increase awareness of our platforms and help us expand into new sectors and markets.”
Organisations benefitting from Workprove are from a range of sectors, including construction, manufacturing, food and beverage production, transport and logistics, social care and education.
