California-based Zoom Video Communications is growing in the UK and has announced plans to increase its headcount in the next year alongside its recent move to bigger office space in London.
The new offices in The Place, 175 High Holborn, are a testament to the strategic importance of British industry to the San Jose company, which was founded by ex-Cisco engineering leader Eric S. Yuan in 2011.
Zoom places importance on developing a local team in target regions and the new office puts it in close proximity to strategically important target audiences within the UK and Ireland.
The investment in a five-year lease for the office shows the commitment that Zoom is making to the UK. .
Zoom UK and Ireland has seen year-on-year revenue grow by over 275% and a nearly 150% increase in its UK and Ireland customer base. Overall, Zoom has seen its EMEA customer base grow by almost 150 per cent in the past year, and its revenues expanded by 175 per cent in the same period. Analysts and customers alike say this is down to the technical superiority of the product.
