Creditsafe to create 300 jobs at its new Cardiff HQ

Business information provider Creditsafe has unveiled plans to create hundreds of new jobs. It comes as the business has completed a relocation of 300 staff from Caerphilly to a new head office operation at the 50,000 sq ft Ty Meridian office building at Cardiff Gate Business Park.

The credit checking business, which also has offices in Cardiff Bay, Dublin and London, said it plans to create a further 300 jobs at its new headquarters over the next five years - taking total headcount there to 600.

Creditsafe also employs 267 at its Cardiff Bay office, 38 in Dublin and 14 in London. It has more than 40,000 customers in the UK.

Over the next five years it also plans to triple its London headcount and its Cardiff Bay and Dublin offices by 10%.

The new roles will range from entry-level to management roles. Creditsafe said the new recruits will support its expansion into new markets and the launch of new products.

Chief executive of Creditsafe UK & Ireland, Chris Robertson, said: “After careful consideration of our relocation options in recent months, we are thrilled to have moved to Ty Meridian. This new office is a key part of our ambitious five-year growth strategy, allowing us to considerably increase our headcount to support our evolving product roadmap.

" Its prime location near Junction 30 of the M4 ensures excellent accessibility for our staff, making it the ideal base for our continued growth.”

The business first relocated from London to Wales over two decades ago.

Mr Robertson said: “Relocating from London to Wales was a pivotal moment in Creditsafe’s success, Caerphilly offered an abundance of skilled and motivated professionals, making it the ideal location to build a strong and dynamic team, this strategic decision played a crucial role in Creditsafe’s long-term success, reinforcing Wales as a hub for business growth and innovation.

"While we are excited for the future in Cardiff, leaving Caerphilly is bittersweet. Myself and the team who have spent years working in the town will always look back on our time there with great fondness.”
