UK tech company opens office in Gdańsk

Alfa, a UK-based technology company supporting the financial sector, has chosen Gdańsk as the location for its first office in Poland. The company has outlined a five-year development plan.
Since 1990, this British powerhouse has been delivering IT systems and services to the global asset finance and automotive sectors. Leveraging agile methodologies and deep industry expertise, Alfa successfully delivers projects for the world’s leading leasing providers. The Polish office joins Alfa’s international network of locations in Europe, North America, and Oceania.

Global Product Development
The company’s flagship product, Alfa Systems, is a cloud-native, SaaS platform designed to meet the diverse needs of the asset finance industry. Its flexible architecture supports a wide range of financial products, including complex lease agreements, loans, and usage-based offerings. Through process automation, intelligent decision-making, and seamless integration, clients can optimize operations and respond flexibly to changing market conditions.
One of Alfa’s core principles is involving teams from multiple locations in product development. This exchange of ideas and perspectives ensures solutions that are comprehensive, customer-focused, and inclusive – values at the heart of Alfa’s mission.

Impressed by the Tricity
The decision followed months of discussions and careful evaluation. The expansion into Central and Eastern Europe is part of Alfa’s strategy to build a diverse and innovative global community.
– The Tricity stood out with its strong tech community and became the center of our recruitment efforts for this year and beyond. During our visits, I was impressed by the energy, professionalism, and openness of the local IT community, as well as the beauty and culture of the region – said Andrew Flegg, Chief Technology Officer. – This step reflects our commitment to attracting top talent. Our new colleagues will tackle the functional and technical challenges of implementing a platform designed for clients financing everything from sports cars to satellites.


Local Leadership with Global Reach
Develocraft, a Gdańsk-based firm known for mapping the IT talent landscape, has taken the lead on establishing Alfa’s Polish operations. A trusted local partner, Develocraft is well-equipped to support this new investor. Alongside Invest in Pomerania – a regional initiative coordinated by the Pomerania Development Agency – they provided all the necessary information for a localization decision.


– A reference visit to Gdańsk was a turning point for Alfa. The decision-makers were impressed by the business potential and the maturity of the local labor market. The Infoshare conference made a huge impact – they saw firsthand how vibrant and well-organized our tech ecosystem is – said Kamil Parafiniuk, Board Member at Develocraft.
