A Leeds based web design company are continuing to flourish thanks to the support of Innovation North's commercial arm, nti Leeds.

Award winning web design company, Creode, recently celebrated their first birthday after starting up their business in the nti Leeds coworking space located at Leeds Met's Old Broadcasting House.

Created by James Hannaford and Luke Harrison, both 22, this young innovative company has proved how even new graduates can buck the trend in the current economic climate. Since graduating from the University of Leeds last year, James and Luke have nurtured a growing business, winning the Leeds University Business Plan Award within the early months, and going on to record profits exceeding planned estimations. Boasting a highly skilled creative and technical team, Creode continues to develop, attracting high end clients and competing with larger, more established agencies. Within the next year, the company plans to increase its industry standing even further, creating a position for itself in amongst its largest competitors.
 
The immense success of the past year and the foundations for future growth are owed in great part to the generous support from nti Leeds, the Leeds University Spark programme, Business Link Yorkshire and Yorkshire Forward. They have provided instrumental advice and opportunities whilst the Proof of Concept grant also offered invaluable financial support. Combined with the talent and dedication of the Creode team, these initiatives have ensured that such green shoots enterprise and innovation can find its way in today's unforgiving and highly competitive industry.
