Xanadu eyes jackpot after 2014 disappointment

Having come agonisingly close to being named last year’s emerging company of the year, Xanadu Consultancy is bidding to go one better in the larger SME category this time around.

Founded in 2011 with just eight employees, the online gaming technology and services provider has grown to 100 employees with more roles set to come on stream in the coming months.

As well scaling up existing teams within the organisation, new layers of project management and business analysis have been added to keep pace with its continued expansion, with a further 120 jobs across a range of functions at its Blackpool base announced late last year.
