Epos Now unveils growth plans and recruitment drive for 2020

Following a successful year including international expansion into North America and partnerships with companies such as Barclays, Payzone, Retail Merchant Service & EVO Payments – Epos Now – one of East Anglia’s largest and fastest growing tech scale up unveils its ambitious growth plans and huge recruitment drive for 2020, as it heads towards the milestone of an initial public offering.

Jacyn Heavens, CEO, Epos Now, comments: “The demand for our product is increasing rapidly. The high street is under extreme pressure from online technology businesses and the threat level has increased exponentially. Amidst growing calls for a review of high street business rates, it’s almost a daily occurrence to hear of another bricks and mortar business entering administration or in trouble. Our technology gives these bricks and mortar companies the technology they need to level the playing field and compete.”

He continues, “Our ambition is to be the first tech scale up in this region to go through an initial public offering. This will give us the ability to offer staff ownership and create a war chest for acquisitions to enable insane growth.”

The plan to achieve this will see Epos Now create over 200 new jobs by 2021, with over 100 in Norwich. The majority of these positions will be technology roles, including software development, user experience (UX), user interface (UI) and product development.

Jacyn adds: “Over the last few years, we’ve learned a huge amount and we have grown from our experiences to get to a position where we really understand what our technology-based workforce wants and needs from us.

“Part of the transition was bringing in an experienced leadership team with an operational leader and product officer from a technology PLC and a highly experienced Finance and HR team to ensure we create the best possible working environment that we can be proud of. We are now first and foremost a technology business with over 70 technology partners such as BigCommerce, Xero, Deliveroo and are a strategic partner for Microsoft.

“We have commercialised our data and are launching a completely new insights engine to help our customers become better at what they do. This shift in mindset is creating an environment where people can learn, develop and progress using the latest technology and solve complex problems whilst augmenting a customer success platform capable to deliver us to the public markets.”
