The MetCloud Cybersecurity Service Provider is ready to create up to 100 jobs as part of its expansion to Birmingham.

After securing the entire Fifth floor of Lyndon House, the company increases its workforce to meet the growing demand.

A series of large contracts won this growth, including a transaction to provide cybersecurity services to the NMS UK Defense Producer.

The new partnership will help to provide sensitive data and will ensure that the strict regulations of the industry are complied with.

MetCloud also partnered with Birmingham -based Cyberq Group to improve cybersecurity protection through combined experience in discovering threats and secure cloud solutions.

The West Midlands (WMGC) growth company has helped Metcloud expand by offering industry -specific tips and PR support to enhance its local presence.

Metcloud also joined the Global Program of London & Partners Grow Global, which helped the company expand internationally and explore new opportunities.

The program provided guidance, trade missions, seminars, events and links with key partners to support its global growth strategy.

Ian Vickers, CEO of Metcloud, said: “Our expansion reflects our prolonged growth on a national scale and our unwavering commitment to Birmingham and West Midlands. The technical sector costs £ 15.3 billion of the regional economy, with 144,000 working in technological roles. The nine universities of the world class in the region, several of which specialize in data science and AI, mean that we are able to engage in an evergreen pipeline of specialized talents to supply our growth.

“Our new relationship with NMS UK emphasizes our strong experience in the landscape of dynamic defense and sharing commitment to innovation, sustainability and security. I look forward to working closely with them in 2025, as we both embark on the next phase of our Western Midlands growth. “

We need to lead this fast -growing industry in order to be future in our region. This is just the beginning of growth we will see in West Midlands. “
