A company founded in London by Spaniards installs its headquarters in Castellón before Brexit

In these seven years, “the company has received external financing of three million euros and has grown exponentially”, and is now in the process of hiring in the city of Castellón

According to company sources, it was founded by Bort and Iván García (CTO) in 2012 in London, where it is headquartered as an all-in-one technology and event management company.

In these seven years, “the company has received external financing of three million euros and has grown exponentially,” and is now in the process of hiring in the city of Castellón, according to the signature in a statement.

HIRING
In the first phase, communication, commercial and technical profiles have been hired, and now they are immersed “in a process of selection of senior developers”.

In this phase, EventsCase is facing a widespread problem in the sector when it comes to finding such technical profiles as that of software developers since many have had to go to other provinces or abroad. ” We are hiring in Castellón with salaries at the level of Madrid and Barcelona. We are creating quality employment, I do not want mile vistas in my company.” declares Jose Bort, CEO of the company. To address this problem, EventsCase, together with other companies in the province of Castellón, is studying the possibility of creating an association of technology companies in the Valencian Community.

Bort explained that the company, being English, has been “forced” – like many others – to “make decisions” in the face of ” instability of Brexit”.

Thus, since April 1 its permanent headquarters are in Castellón, which Bort justifies: “Companies need stability and now Theresa May’s resignation and the possibility of a second referendum open a new period of great uncertainty.” “The country needs to move forward, it needs security,” he said to be optimistic about how all these changes will affect his company since he sees it as “an opportunity” to establish himself in Castellón.

” England and especially London are very expensive ” and the United Kingdom “makes entrepreneurship very easy, but Spain is the best country to live and there is also a lot of talent.”

MORE THAN 50 EMPLOYEES

EventsCase currently has more than 50 employees, customers worldwide and a presence in the United Kingdom, Spain – with its own offices in Castellón and Barcelona -, the United States and soon in Dubai.

The EventsCase platform helps event organizers by allowing many providers and documents to have everything in a single solution.
