Cloud-based public safety platform provider, Mark43 has opened a new regional office in Manchester, strengthening its presence in the UK and deepening its work with police forces across the country.
The new base will act as a hub for Mark43’s growing UK team and its network of partners, offering a closer point of contact for frontline policing operations and enabling more collaboration on digital transformation projects.
The move follows the company’s partnership with Cumbria Constabulary and reflects its broader ambitions in the UK market. Mark43 says it is continuing to engage with other forces around modernising command and control, improving real-time situational awareness and reducing administrative burden.
“We’re proud to be firmly rooted in the UK, and our growing presence reflects our long-term commitment to supporting police forces nationwide. Manchester gives our UK team and expanding partner ecosystem a hub to drive innovation and delivery. From faster, more accurate report writing to smarter, real-time operational tools, we’re committed to helping forces serve their communities with greater efficiency and impact.” – Bob Hughes, CEO of Mark43.The announcement comes shortly after the company hosted a DDaT Forum in London, which brought together policing leaders, government agencies and tech partners to discuss digital opportunities in public safety. It also follows the appointment of Mark43 Co-Founder Matt Polega as Managing Director UK, and a wave of recruitment to build local capacity.
“I’m thrilled to be leading our efforts on the ground as we continue to grow our UK-based team and a rapidly expanding partner ecosystem. We’re incredibly excited to build on this momentum and chart the path forward together in the digital transformation of UK public safety, and we’re committed to being a trusted partner every step of the way.” – Matt Polega, Co-Founder, President and Managing Director UK, Mark43.
Mark43’s platform includes records management, command and control, and analytics tools, underpinned by open APIs and built on a true-cloud foundation. The company says its approach supports faster reporting, improved decision-making and more effective resource management, while also easing administrative pressures on officers.
