Global employee experience platform Haiilo is strengthening its presence in Manchester, with the city now a central hub for UK expansion.

As its fastest-growing regional office, headcount has grown by more than sixfold since 2024.

The business has scaled significantly over the past two years, making 98 hires globally, including 51 in the last 12 months, with UK headcount increasing by 30 over the same period. This growth follows the appointment of CEO Andrew Avanessian in 2024 and reflects rising demand from organisations looking to simplify increasingly complex digital workplaces.

Alongside hiring, the business has focused on building a high-performing and sustainable team. It reported a gross retention rate of 93% and net retention of 105%, while continuing to invest in career development, with 13 internal promotions in 2025 and a further 17 already completed in 2026.

The company has also invested £25 million into facilities, technology and talent globally, alongside expanding its leadership team with the appointment of a Chief Technology and Product Officer.

Haiilo’s employee experience platform creates a ‘digital home’ where employees are connected with the knowledge, tools and community they need to be productive. This creates room for focus, collaboration and genuine engagement, making work feel effortless.
