DevelopIQ Adds To Chineham Park's Telecoms Expertise

MEPC Chineham Park, Basingstoke's leading business location, is fast becoming a centre of excellence for telecoms companies looking to relocate in the area.

DevelopIQ, a leading mobile application services provider, has moved into the last remaining vacant suite in Rosewood having acquired two ground floor offices, which total 4,700 sq ft.

DevelopIQ develops, delivers and supports compelling mobile applications for smartphones that create and deliver exciting new mobile channels for leading brands and artists in the music, media and sports sectors. Having partnered with BlackBerry, Vodafone and Telefonica O2, DevelopIQ has a range of clients from the BBC and Barclays Bank to the NHS.

James Shannon, co-founder and CTO of DevelopIQ, said: “We chose to relocate to Chineham Park because of its strong communications infrastructure, good transport links and future flexibility to upgrade within the park.”

Robert Bakewell, co-founder and CEO of DevelopIQ, added: “Having outgrown our existing offices, we expect our new premises in Chineham Park to cater for our rapid expansion from 22 employees currently to over 40 in the next three years as well as provide an innovative technology showcase for our prospective customers.”

Rupert Batho, managing director for MEPC Chineham Park, said: “With several world class telecoms organisations already based at Chineham Park, DevelopIQ’s global expertise in the mobile technology sector helps to establish our position as a centre of excellence for this specialist field. Telecoms is an international market with a highly innovative and dynamic culture so leading companies in this field fit perfectly at Chineham Park. It is important for us and business in Basingstoke to be able to attract pioneering companies like DevelopIQ to the borough.”
