durhamlane is targeting a record turnover and more than 30% growth after seeing its employee count almost double over the last 12 months.
The Newcastle-based sales performance firm, which specialises in training, outsourced sales and recruitment services, is on track for record turnover, buoyed by expansion throughout the UK.
durhamlane now employs 32 staff, up by 40% from the previous year, with further job creation planned as it continues to grow its core business services, including its recruitment division, which is set to double in size by the end of January.
The company launched its first office on the South Coast, in Southampton, to extend its services throughout the South and in London, and also struck a partnership with Connect Yorkshire to become its official sales training partner. In addition, durhamlane acquired an established coaching and leadership development business in 2016.
With one of its experienced staff on secondment in Cambridgeshire, durhamlane is exploring the possibility of launching an office in the county while building and developing an entire sales team for one of its clients.
Richard Lane, co-founder of durhamlane, said: “Last year was another excellent year for everyone associated with durhamlane as we expanded our geographical reach in the UK, which has set us up for further growth. Our employee numbers have also continued to grow and we will be creating more jobs in the year ahead and beyond to sustain this growth and drive forward our ambitious expansion plans.
“We are on track for another successful year of consecutive growth in revenue and have come a long way in just six years, working with many blue chip companies from across a wide variety of sectors. I am very excited by what the future holds for durhamlane.”
durhamlane works with clients from more than 14 countries around the world and has seen double digit growth year-on-year, since its foundation in 2011.
Richard Lane added: “The focus now is to extend our presence and services throughout the UK to create further opportunities and business leads, as well as contribute to the economies in which we are operating through job creation and strategic acquisitions and investments.”
