One of Yorkshire’s fastest-growing technology companies has moved its head office to Copthall Bridge in Harrogate to support its expansion.

Mobile Tornado is a global provider of push-to-talk over cellular and workforce management solutions. Their groundbreaking technology enables instant voice and multi-media communication over cellular networks and provides safety features, including emergency SOS alerts and GPS tracking.

The critical communications technology enables organisations to improve workforce safety, productivity, and efficiency.

Over the last six months, Mobile Tornado has announced a series of customer wins, reflecting the growing momentum for its next-generation communication technology across the world.

As a result of the recent momentum, Mobile Tornado has undertaken a restructuring of its operational base and team structure. The new office will allow the team to grow and support remote working for its team with the latest hybrid working technology. The firm operates research and development teams in the UK and India.

Commenting on the move, Luke Wilkinson, managing director of Mobile Tornado, said: “As we continue to grow around the world, it is important for our head office to be flexible enough to meet our future needs and provide a premium working environment for our team. Copthall Bridge stands out in Harrogate thanks to its focus on well-being and excellent technology, which supports hybrid working.”

Mobile Tornado uses patented Internet Protocol Radio Service (IPRS™) technology, which provides efficient communication across various mobile networks and devices. The company has a global presence, serving industries across Europe, North and South America, and Africa.

Office group WorkWell has invested £10.5m to redevelop a site at Copthall Bridge. The new site will support 360 jobs in the spa town. The offices are located in central Harrogate, a short walk from the train and bus stations.

Oliver Corrigan, managing director of WorkWell, concluded: "It’s great to see our newly opened Copthall Bridge offices competing in a global market to attract companies like Mobile Tornado.
The office is designed to provide a high-quality working environment that supports productivity. Thanks to flexible spaces and the latest technology, hybrid working is seamless. We look forward to supporting Mobile Tornado’s meteoric growth.”
