A fresh approach

Founded in 2013, the company came to Southampton Science Park the same year as being accepted into the SETsquared business incubator. Since then, it has experienced spectacular growth. It has won and been shortlisted for several awards while CEO and Co-Founder Mike Austin has been named in SETsquared’s Top 50 Entrepreneurs. In 2017, Fresh Relevance attracted investment of over £2m, creating the foundations for its next phase of growth.

The company subsequently doubled its head office space to over 2,200 sq ft with a strategic move into Southampton Science Park’s newest office accommodation, Benham 5. This is enabling the company to expand its team and provide a firm foothold for global expansion with its sights set firmly on the North American market.
