The first class team at Visualsoft just got even better this month.
The whole of the Visualsoft office in Stockton-on-Tees is celebrating as two of its newest recruits graduated with First Class honours.
Andy and Dave recently joined our award winning team after graduating with First degrees in Software Engineering and Web Design respectively from the University of Teesside.
Visualsoft discovered Andy and Dave, who have joined our Web Development and Web Design teams, at the ExpoTees 2010 exhibition which was held by the University of Teesside's School of Computing in March. The exhibition displayed a wide range of innovative and diverse work from hundreds of final year students and showcased the next generation of digital expertise, research and development skills from students.
The lively and interactive exhibition provided a great opportunity for Visualsoft to meet newly qualified graduates, and it didn't take long for Andy and Dave to catch the eye.
Dave said: "I first met the Directors Richard, Tim and Dean at Teesside University's ExpoTees exhibition, and after that, things moved pretty quickly. ...
... Once my lectures finished in May I started working straight away at Visualsoft and I'm really enjoying work at the moment."
Dave added: "I'm over the moon to have achieved a first class degree. A lot of hard work went into it but it has definitely been worth it. It's great that I've gained employment as part of the design team at Visualsoft, and I'm relishing the challenge of working for the North East's biggest eCommerce website specialists."
Andy said: "The first time I met the Visualsoft Directors was also at the ExpoTees exhibition. I was demonstrating my final year project when they approached me. The next week I went for an interview and I was offered the job, which was a great relief for me because I could concentrate on my studies."
"I have now been working at Visualsoft for just over two months and I'm still learning something new every day. I'm glad that my efforts have not gone unnoticed and now it shows, with my First class degree and my job at Visualsoft."
The successful graduation program that saw Andy and Dave join Visualsoft builds on from last year's recruits. In addition to this, Visualsoft have also started taking on apprentices. John was the first person to join the team through the apprentice scheme, and he quickly established himself as a key member of the Online Marketing team. The successful addition of John has led Visualsoft to take on another apprentice, who is due to start next week.
It's exciting times for Visualsoft as the cream of the crop from around the region are being recruited. Visualsoft Director Richard Bendelow said: "As a leading eCommerce company, we're delighted to provide employment opportunities and vocational training for high calibre graduates from the University of Teesside.
"Andy and Dave are great additions to our growing workforce of 50, and we're delighted to learn that both have achieved first class degrees, this is testament to their hard work and commitment, which they've continued to demonstrate in their roles at Visualsoft."
VIsualsoft are the North East's leading eCommerce specialists and have a large portfolio of website designs and developments.
