Guildhawk To Host Digital Event In ‘Booming’ Sheffield

Sheffield, London and Lithuania-based language services company Guildhawk is set to bring the region’s digital community together at a specialist technology and coding event in Sheffield on Tuesday 20 August.

Led by Guildhawk’s CEO and founder Jurga Zilinskiene, attendees will get the chance to learn about the company’s innovative new technology project and vision for the future, and to discuss opportunities for people to join the Sheffield design and development team.

Digital specialists from Sheffield Hallam University and Sheffield Digital will also share their expertise, knowledge and experience around coding, industry trends and technology partnerships.

Recognising Sheffield as a city at the forefront of business and the perfect place for the company’s expansion, Guildhawk opened its Yorkshire office in 2017.

Strengthening the company’s digital output, Guildhawk is working in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University to recruit two graduates with a degree in Interaction Design, Computer Science or Software Engineering to join their team.

Ms Zilinskiene said: “We’re really looking forward to hosting our first digital event in Sheffield and to welcoming like-minded people to learn about the exciting developments and technology projects at Guildhawk.”

Demonstrating her passion for all aspects of the digital industry,Ms Zilinskiene is a coder and programmer herself and actually built the company’s proprietary content management system.

She added: “ “Working in partnership with Sheffield Hallam University is a natural fit for us, and we’re confident that our employment partnership will provide two graduates with cutting-edge industry experience.”

Ms Zilinskiene added: “Sheffield gave us the opportunity to expand outside of London and move up to the ‘booming’ North.

“I am looking forward to the next chapter in the story of our ever-growing company, as we move further into the technology market and strengthen our coding and design teams here in Sheffield.

The free-ticketed event is being held on Tuesday 20 August at 6:30pm at Kommune, Castle House, Angel Street, Sheffield. To register your attendance, please e-mail adam.bradshaw@guildhawk.com.
