Landmark Information Group today announced the creation of a team in Sofia, Bulgaria to help support their product development initiatives. The staff have been recruited under the Quickstart Global In-House Anywhere model which has provided Landmark with a low risk approach to establishing their own offshore team.

Landmark Information Group is the market leader in the field of property related environmental risk information and digital mapping. The Landmark team in Sofia will work closely with their UK colleagues on developing and testing new software and ensuring that existing products are updated and monitored to maintain their dominant position in the marketplace.

Howard Davies, of Landmark Group commented “We realized that we needed to expand our resource base cost effectively. The Quickstart Global offering in Sofia ticked all the boxes. The calibre of candidates and resources are excellent.  It is good to be able to bolster our excellent existing staff with the additional knowledge and experience in Sofia.”

Neal Gandhi, CEO of Quickstart Global added “In a highly competitive market it is crucial to keep ahead of the curve with new products, and ensuring that existing products are leading edge. By choosing to work with Quickstart Global, Landmark will benefit from having their own staff, working under their control, but without the risks of setting up on their own.”
