Airwatch Managing Director Ian Evans,

explained how his business has

flourished in Milton Keynes, and more

importantly why MK is such an ideal

location for them. Airwatch are

boasting healthy growth forecasts, and

the exceptionally positive news is that

Milton Keynes as a location is

instrumental to their growth. Airwatch

run their EMEA operations from Milton

Keynes and they are able to do so

because of the great transport links with

the rest of the country as well as the

proximity to international airports. As

well as this, their workforce has grown

on average by 25 new recruits a month,

all who have been recruited locally, and

with over 80% of staff who are bi-

lingual. This has massively supported

the Company’s growth and client

attraction. Airwatch is another great

example of why Milton Keynes is

Britain’s most successful City!

AirWatch CEO John Marshall said: “Our rapid growth in the European and Middle Eastern regions is a direct testament of our global leadership in the mobile enterprise market.”

Ian Evans, stated: “It isn’t easy to bring on board as many people as AirWatch has in such a short time, but it has been possible in Milton Keynes. We feel confident that Milton Keynes will provide us with the space and facilities required to achieve our continuing growth plans.”
