Sophos has announced the opening of its second UK office in Manchester which the cybersecurity vendor says will expand its sales presence in the region.
Sophos vice president of sales Jonathan Bartholomew said the new office was an exciting move to support Sophos’ strategic growth.
“With the additional sales resources, we can further our plans already well underway to focus on the fastest-growing part of our business – our next-gen cybersecurity portfolio. “Manchester is a vibrant city, the National Cyberforce recently announced an office there, and the location is rapidly becoming the biggest technology hub in the UK outside of London”, Bartholomew said.
Located in the Deansgate region of Manchester, the office will house sales, technical and account management positions.
The company will continue to operate from its core UK office in Abingdon, while the news follows a successful 2020 for the company as it saw 11 percent year-over-year billings growth.
It recently entered into its first UK distribution agreement, forming a partnership with Arrow Electronics which saw the business move to a two tier model in the UK.
