Youmanage enjoyed a successful fourth quarter of 2009 with a raft of new customer contract wins.

Companies signing up for Youmanage's online HR toolkit came from a broad range of business sectors and company sizes, including Byrom plc, the leading sports event management company, Belvoir Lettings, the specialist residential lettings agency, Frontroom, the London-based creative agency, and Interface247, provider of specialist services to the fleet industry.

New clients came from the public as well as the private sector, including the Crafts Council, the national development agency for contemporary crafts in the UK, and the Alvaston-based Parkfield Medical Centre.

The latter part of 2009 also saw an expansion into new markets and a growth in business from Youmanage's partner channel, including Scotland-based consulting company, activHR, and HRmatters, Malta's leading HR outsourcing company.

Commenting on the recent wins, Youmanage MD, Phil Brown said, "We're continuing to see good growth despite the difficult economic climate. The fourth quarter of 2009 was our best yet, which  is further evidence that we have a unique product which can deliver real value to clients.  

"Although the market is still tough, companies are recognising that if they are to benefit from the recovery when it arrives, they need to invest in their people and find ways to work smarter.  In the current climate we know that organisations are often only willing to invest in projects where they can achieve a positive return on investment within very short timeframes.  Our competitive pricing and subscription-based charging model enables them to achieve this."
