NETPark tenants Quorum reveal ambitious growth plans
Energy market Software as a Service (SaaS) specialist Quorum has posted record results after its best year in almost two decades of trading.
Year-on-year turnover is up 15 per cent, following a number of significant contract wins, which include the addition of ScottishPower to the company’s impressive roster of customers, while a recruitment drive has boosted skills and capacity in both development and data analytics.
The Sedgefield-based company supports more than 28GW of electricity generation and flexibility in the thermal, renewable, industrial and commercial, and storage sectors of the market. Its products include applications and interfaces used to manage critical processes from energy trading and delivery to financial settlement. The entire suite is underpinned by market leading IT infrastructure and services that make Quorum a trusted partner to many well-known energy businesses.
Following the end of year results, Quorum’s leadership team has agreed an ambitious three-year growth strategy that will see the continued development of the company’s product and service portfolio.
Co-founder and CEO Paul Fothergill said: “It has been a fantastic year for Quorum, with new product development and positive changes in the market, such as the introduction of Virtual Lead Parties (VLPs), combining to generate new opportunities for us.
“Looking ahead to the next few years we will continue to innovate to ensure that we can support our customers and respond to the changing electricity generation and flexibility mix that will define new energy systems.”

We initially came because of the printable electronics centre but access to a highly skilled semi conductor workforce in the North East has been a key factor in us staying and growing here, as well as the value for money office space and the access to funding.
Access to quality facilities was one of the main drivers for deciding to locate the business at the NETPark. We have been able to use this as a launch pad to link into support from CPI and world-class expertise from Durham University.
The quality of the facilities at NETPark and the attitude of staff is first class. It has a really dynamic, innovative atmosphere.
The proximity to the universities and the infrastructure are very important factors. Ultimately having a presence in Europe is very valuable to us and we intend to stay at NETPark for many years to come.
It fits perfectly for us that we’re surrounded by like-minded companies at NETPark. There are a number of highly skilled people in the area who can help us grow our business. The facilities and services offered by NETPark are first class, they make office life simple and engaging.
