Rapid expansion over the last decade to employ 165 people with a turnover of £14 million, included a move in early 2001 to its own 30,000 sq ft purpose built offices based on the park.

The company's location on York Science Park has been a tremendous help to the development of Kit Digital over the last ten years.

With so many like minded businesses together on one site, it provides an very effective work environment, which has been important to Kit Digital in terms of our development, but particularly for staff recruitment and retention.
