Rapid expansion continues at Crunch

Online accountancy firm Crunch continues its rapid expansion with nine new appointments across the company - the new starters make up almost 20% of the total headcount. The company also moves the first team into its new office, a further 4,000 square foot of office space above its existing HQ in Hove, which will soon feature a roof terrace with Crunch deckchairs.
 
Today’s appointments bring the total number of employees at Crunch to 51, with 13 joining from the start of the year and a further 60 appointments planned this year. The company is doubling in headcount as well as office space in 2012.
