Deals site Itison expands into England

Itison founder and chief executive Oli Norman

Itison, the Glasgow-based deals and events website, has opened its first office south of the Border.

The firm, launched in 2010, said the move into Newcastle was a “natural first step” as it targets turnover in excess of £25 million and seeks to create 20 jobs.

Founder and chief executive Oli Norman said: “Similar to Glasgow, the city has undergone a major transformation into a thriving and exciting place to live with an abundance of amazing venues and events, and of course the people are fantastic.
