Bulk SMS Ltd, trading as Voodoo SMS, is a cloud-based mobile communications company founded in 2013 with offices in Huddersfield and Manchester.
In 2012, two entrepreneurs with a telecommunications background (Gareth Davies and Zia Rizvi) decided they wanted to change the way businesses and groups were using mobile devices to communicate. With the advent of smart devices, they believed the generic offerings in the marketplace were not maximizing the potential of bulk SMS for business use. A former colleague, Sam Richardson, joined them in this challenge.
They were looking for a strong brand to differentiate themselves from the competition in an established market, and Voodoo SMS was the result – the company incorporated as Bulk SMS Ltd a year later[1].
Since then, with the development of their Voodoo SMS cloud-based portal, the company has become one of the leading independent players in the growing business bulk SMS sector. Initially focusing on price, Voodoo SMS is focuses on developing new features and improving customer security[2].
