Oxfordshire’s Bridgehead marks 15 years supporting startups and scaleups

Bridgehead International Agency is celebrating 15 years in business.

Headquartered in Wantage, Oxfordshire, the agency helps startups and scaleups break into new markets in the UK, Europe, North America and Australasia.

Having led commercial teams at major blue-chip companies – Cisco, Lego, and the BBC – CEO Paul McIntosh founded The Mustard Concept, now Bridgehead, in 2009.

Starting out with just a desk, phone and laptop, Paul was able to sign his first client within 90 days.

He and the team have since facilitated the market entry of more than 80 businesses, crafting bespoke go-to-market strategies for their customers.

Paul said: “We have ambitious plans to expand our footprint with additional offices in the US and a further four across Europe and Australia.

“Additionally, we’re gearing up to launch a revolutionary software as a service (SaaS)/AI platform.

“This cutting-edge tool will streamline the market entry process, enabling startups and scale-ups to swiftly validate their concepts.”
