Our history.

Founded in 2010

Where it all began…

NorthRow (formerly Contego) was founded by Adrian Black to enable organisations to combat fraud and financial crime. NorthRow wasn’t just a business opportunity for Adrian, but a chance to make more of a difference to the catastrophic effects that fraud and other forms of financial crime can have on individuals and companies.

MILESTONE
