Tauranga-based Cucumber has found an expanding niche as a matchmaker, bringing together local companies with experienced project services managers and business analysts.
The company has built a reputation over the past decade in the digital and ICT services sector, offering website services and bespoke software development, but it plans to build on its core experience to further develop its contracting service.
"There's a lot of really talented people in the Bay of Plenty," said Cucumber chief executive Brett Roberts.
"What we've discovered is a lot of these people have really good experience, and there's a demand for them from companies that don't need somebody to work fulltime. We sit in the middle of that process."
Cucumber provides a mix of its own employees and a range of experienced contractors to provide inhouse consulting services to organisations in the region, including councils, power utilities and hi-tech companies.
