It was listed as the number one technology growth company in the UK by the Financial Times and they employ over 70 people in the UK. “The experience of ‘starting from zero’, realising you can get your own act together and build up a life around you is one that translates very strongly to entrepreneurship. It builds confidence, resilience and resourcefulness which are all key to any entrepreneur.”
