Due to high demand, the business is now being moved into new premises in Portsmouth Technopole, a serviced offices centre.

Operations director Craig, technical director Colin and head of partnerships Chris help companies to benefit from their cost-saving solutions.

The budding entrepreneurs have so far managed to sign upwards of 40 clients spanning the UK, USA, Australia and mainland Europe, across a variety of sectors including construction, food production and software technology.

Some of their top clients include private healthcare providers, the NHS and even a major bank. Co-founder Craig said: ‘The business outgrew our respective homes far quicker than we anticipated; it was not possible to keep on having meetings with customers in hotels along the M27’.

The Technopole centre is a strong supporter of start-up businesses. Craig is hoping that Technopole’s support will help to drive the company’s success.

Craig said: ‘We’re a professional business and now we have a professional office at the Technopole, which I found out about from a free event at the University’s Business School when the serviced offices centre was being discussed because of its support for start-ups’.

Technopole’s centre manager Pete Outen said: ‘Skore is the latest customer to punch well above its weight in software applications. It’s great to see a start-up doing so well.’
