The firm's strong performance has
strengthened its grip as a global
operation, with bases in Europe and the
Middle East boasting product support in
more than 12 languages.
Airwatch Managing Director Ian Evans,
explained how his business has
flourished in Milton Keynes, and more
importantly why MK is such an ideal
location for them. Airwatch are
boasting healthy growth forecasts, and
the exceptionally positive news is that
Milton Keynes as a location is
instrumental to their growth. Airwatch
run their EMEA operations from Milton
Keynes and they are able to do so
because of the great transport links with
the rest of the country as well as the
proximity to international airports. As
well as this, their workforce has grown
on average by 25 new recruits a month,
all who have been recruited locally, and
with over 80% of staff who are bi-
lingual. This has massively supported
the Company’s growth and client
attraction. Airwatch is another great
example of why Milton Keynes is
Britain’s most successful City!
AirWatch CEO John Marshall said: “Our rapid growth in the European and Middle Eastern regions is a direct testament of our global leadership in the mobile enterprise market.”
Ian Evans, stated: “It isn’t easy to bring on board as many people as AirWatch has in such a short time, but it has been possible in Milton Keynes. We feel confident that Milton Keynes will provide us with the space and facilities required to achieve our continuing growth plans.”
