Accedo plans London expansion

TV application specialist Accedo plans to expand its London office following its recent launch of two new offices in Cologne, Germany and Santiago, Chile.

Speaking to DTVE at IBC, Accedo’s vice-president of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Elin Askfelt, said that in the next six months it planned to almost double its London presence by growing from six to 10 staff members and is looking to add people working across business development, project management and product development.

The news comes after Stockholm-headquartered Accedo announced the launch of its Cologne and Santiago offices last week. The latter marked Accedo’s first Latin American office, and will employ 5 to 10 people and act as the hub office for the development of operations and business throughout LatAm. Dealings in this region were previously run out of Accedo’s Madrid office.

The Cologne base will allow Accedo to easily reach new and existing customers in Germany and surrounding German-speaking markets like Austria and Switzerland.

In total the company employs 170 people in 10 offices around the world.
