Camiloo receives investment from North West Fund / ERDF
Camiloo can today reveal that it has received investment from the European Regional Development Fund backed ‘North West Fund 4 Digital & Creative’.
Camiloo, which began trading in 2009, provides services to online retailers worldwide and also develops mobile and desktop applications for third parties, from its base in Salford Quays, UK.
Starting with a single client retainer, the company has grown to more than 320 clients worldwide despite having only spent £400 on marketing and until recently employing only its two directors. Its growth can be attributed to the success of its Amazon integration plugin for popular eCommerce software Magento, which it has developed and supported in-house from launch. An exciting evolution of this integration lies ahead as the company prepares to launch a revolutionary tool connecting retailers to over 120 marketplace websites such as eBay, Aukro and Allegro Poland – channelunity.com.
Managing Director at Camiloo, Mark Newby (24) said “We have worked hard to make our Company an investible proposition. We began trading just over two years ago from a spare room in an apartment, a story I think will sound familiar to many startups around the world. In the past two years we have worked numerous weekends and 30+ hour shifts to meet phenomenal demand for our services.”
Mark added “We see ourselves as almost a fusion of two companies. Part of what we do is traditional agency work; developing iPhone applications for clients, and then we invest our spare energy in creating exciting products and platforms. This has been our vision from day one, and we feel that todays news enables this to become more truthful than ever.”.
Camiloo are currently accepting CVs for Mobile developer (iPhone, Android) and PHP developer roles, as well as Sales staff with a view to recruitment in Autumn. Interested parties should email hello@camiloo.co.uk with their CV & Cover Letter.
