Turkish cyber security vendor TR7 choose Eagle Tower for their global HQ

Invest in Gloucestershire, the county’s leading inward investment programme, has announced the arrival of Turkish cyber security LB & WAF vendor TR7 into Cheltenham. The company will be establishing their global HQ in Eagle Tower in the next few months.

This comes after Phil Clement, Head of Inward Investment at GFirst LEP, presented to TR7 and other Turkish cyber firms in Istanbul in January, organised by the Department for Business & Trade. The team then hosted the company on two visits to the Gloucestershire, in March and June this year. Senior managers will be relocating from Turkey and discussions are underway with the Global Entrepreneurs Programme who are supporting the visa process.

The company, which specialises in load balancing and web application firewalls, has recently gained many plaudits for its cyber security work related to the recent national elections in Turkey. TR7 will be looking to recruit additional sales and technical staff as they expand into other international markets, with the UK as their new global HQ.

Phil Clement, Head of Inward Investment at GFirst LEP commented ‘We are very pleased to welcome TR7 into the growing cyber security cluster in Gloucestershire, the largest outside London. Our thanks to the Department for Business & Trade for supporting our efforts to promote the Gloucestershire cyber ‘offer’ internationally, including the Cyber High Potential Opportunity (HPO) afforded to us by Central Government’. 

Annelie Lindgren, Assistant Building Manager commented:
"We are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming TR7 as a tenant at Eagle Tower and that they have chosen us for their global HQ. They will be joining what is already a very strong collection of cyber related businesses. It has also been fantastic to work with the Invest in Gloucestershire team throughout this process".
