We're laying foundations in Newcastle says tech company set to open new office and create 100 jobs
A growing payment and business services company has launched a Newcastle office with plans to create more than 100 jobs in the city this year.
The move is part of Modern World Business Solutions' nationwide scale-up strategy and commitment to investing in regional talent. The new office at Hoults Yard will serve as a strategic hub for operations, training, and customer engagement.
"We're not just opening an office; we're laying foundations," said Warren Whitfield, chief executive and founder of Modern World Business Solutions. "Newcastle has the energy, talent, and innovation we’re looking for, and this move helps us build a world-class team."
Founded in 2018, Modern World Business Solutions provides digital payment and business technology to SMEs, hospitality, and retail sectors, and has grown revenue by over 500 per cent in the past three years.
The company is actively recruiting in the region and expects to employ more than 200 people by the end of 2027. Cllr Alex Hay, deputy leader and cabinet member for neighbourhood services, Newcastle City Council, said: "Welcoming ambitious companies like MWBS to Newcastle is fantastic and highlights the attractiveness of our technology ecosystem.
“Not only is the company bringing up to 100 new jobs to the city, providing new opportunities for our residents, but their long-term commitment to innovation in the sector is incredibly exciting and will help us stand out as a destination for investment.
"I look forward to seeing MWBS make exceptional strides in the fintech space by taking advantage of our world-class talent pool and experience what it's like to live and work in the city of Newcastle."
