Createc is on course for even more expansion after opening new offices.

The technology firm, which is based in Cockermouth, has opened a new facility which they describe as the stage for showcasing their future technologies and innovations.

Createc works closely with clients across the globe and is home to more than 50 employees.

The firm, which opened its doors to more than 100 guests to celebrate the move, has invested in its new headquarters as part of a five-year growth plan.

​This comes after they recorded a turnover of £7.3 million in 2023 and regular growth of 23 per cent year-on-year.

Will Newsom, Createc's chief executive, said: "I'm proud of everyone who has worked tirelessly to enable us to move to this beautiful new facility.

"This building represents Createc; it will become the stage for showcasing our future technologies and innovations.

"This move is also a major milestone in our five-year growth plan, positioning us to become a larger employer in the local area and further driving our commitment to community development and economic growth."

The company reached the milestone after being awarded government-backed research and development funding.

For every £1 it receives in grant funding, it generates £9 for the UK economy.

Createc also has a laboratory for physicists on site, which features radiometric devices capable of measuring radiation levels at Fukushima, Japan.

The firm won two Queen's Awards from the late Queen Elizabeth II, one for International Trade and one for Innovation.

In 2024, they received an award for Innovation from HM King Charles.

Createc was founded in 2010 by Matt Mellor, who said: "Fourteen years ago, Createc set up in business just 100 metres from our new site in a single-room office with just three employees.

"This new facility is a testament to the hard work and success of that original team and the many colleagues who have joined us over the years.

"We exist today as a strong team of 56 because we have upheld the same core values and entrepreneurial culture that we started with all those years ago, striving to see emerging technologies go out into the world and make a real impact."
