Galway-based website and app development agency Grafton Digital has opened a new office in New York, as it continues to grow its business.

The company, which was founded by Daragh Jordan and Erik Jentetics in 2018, has already opened its doors in Manhattan and started work with new clients. The business has also set future targets as it eyes further expansion in the US.

It is the second office for Grafton Digital, which started as a school project to help Irish businesses modernise and develop an online presence. It now employs 20 people and has more than 100 clients including international corporations and SMEs in transport, education and hospitality.

"We have worked hard to get to this point. When we founded the company, our mission was to help companies maximise their online presence, as we believed most businesses weren't getting the most out of their websites and apps," said Mr Jordan. "We focus heavily on customer service, alongside the explosion of demand to go digital due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which has allowed us to grow quickly and now work with industry leaders across Ireland and the United Kingdom. Today is a proud day for Erik, the team and I, to expand into New York and continue to grow our business."
