“Can a Manchester-based creative-technology studio scale immersive experience delivery globally across cruise, themed entertainment, and hospitality while keeping finance operations lean through multi-currency treasury and cloud HR?”
Founded in 2022 as a creative innovation studio delivering bespoke immersive experiences for cruise, themed entertainment, and hospitality clients. Quickly spun out Game Volt as a product arm in 2023 to capture the competitive socialising trend with standardised, deployable interactive systems. The company's rapid international growth — UK, US, Middle East — drove adoption of Airwallex for multi-currency treasury and FX, and Rippling for cross-jurisdictional HR and payroll management, representing the only meaningful embedded finance layer in what is otherwise a technology and creative services business.
Conductr uses Airwallex for FX and cross-border payouts.
Conductr's payroll is powered by Rippling.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in Conductr's stack: Payroll (Rippling); FX & payouts (Airwallex).
Conductr was founded by Peter Cliff and Jos van der Steen and is founded in 2022, headquartered in Manchester, UK.
