Many people thought 2020 was going to be the year that 5G came into its own – and then it wasn’t. Although it’s had a slower start than hoped (and for very good reasons!), the mass rollout of fifth-generation mobile network technology is just around the corner. 5G promises lightning-fast speeds and low latency. It’s […]

Here we go again! It may be a new year, but the start of 2021 feels very 2020-ish – we’re encouraged to work from home wherever possible, and if you have kids then they are probably homeschooling. We’ve all been here before so we know the challenges and opportunities it can bring. Hopefully any initial […]

As we all find ourselves under restrictions again and many of us work from home, work-life balance is under the spotlight again. The fact is, if you live and work in the same place it’s hard to separate the two – and that can have a negative effect on our wellbeing. Many of us struggle […]

Our people are the heart of our business – and strong leadership plays a vital role in bringing out the best in them. We’re overjoyed to have seen that recognised with a win at the Investors In People Awards, in the Leadership and Management (250+employees ) category.
